If the thought of metal braces is putting you off straightening your teeth, why not contact Smilecraft Dental Care in Stevenage for a Six Month Smiles consultation? Six Month Smiles are an increasingly popular method of straightening adults’ teeth, without a glint of metal in sight.
How it works
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that take the traditional principles and mechanics of orthodontics and modernise them to create a tooth straightening option that is much quicker and subtler than standard metal braces.
They are a popular cosmetic dental treatment at our Stevenage clinic, favoured by adults with busy professional lifestyles who want to enjoy the benefits of teeth straightening without everyone they meet knowing they are undergoing treatment.
At our Stevenage dental practice we are swift to point out that there are more than just aesthetic benefits to be gained from treatment with Six Month Smiles, even if they are referred to as “cosmetic braces”.
When you bring your teeth into better alignment, you make them easier to clean. With fewer awkward gaps in which plaque can build up, you can cut your risk of both gum disease and tooth decay – two leading causes of tooth loss. So long as you visit your Stevenage dentist and hygienist as often as they tell you to, using cosmetic braces can bring significant benefits to your dental health.
When you come into Smilecraft in Stevenage for a Six Month Smiles consultation, your Six Month Smiles accredited dentist will ensure that you are suitable for treatment. These braces are designed for rapid cosmetic correction of issues affecting the front teeth, and are not meant for significant problems with the bite.
Your dentist will take measurements and photographs as necessary to aid in the design of your braces. As the name indicates, treatment is usually complete within six months. In addition, because Six Month Smiles are made from clear and tooth-coloured components, they will blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, so few people will immediately notice them in everyday life.
You will need to attend monthly check-ups at Smilecraft in Stevenage during treatment to monitor your progress.
