Cosmetic braces are a great solution for adults who need mild orthodontic correction of issues affecting their front teeth. At Smilecraft dental practice in Stevenage we use the popular Six Month Smiles system of cosmetic braces which – as the name suggests – take on average just half a year for treatment to be complete.
An increasing number of adults are taking an interest in orthodontic treatment, and there are now a number of systems of cosmetic braces on the market. Six Month Smiles is one of the best-known, and is renowned for its fast action, gentle treatment, and outstanding results.
The barrier many adults face when it comes to straightening their teeth is that they still picture the metal braces worn by their friends at school, which are not particularly compatible with a professional adult lifestyle.
Cosmetic braces are different. The Six Month Smiles system we use at our Stevenage dental practice are made of clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires. This means that they blend in well with the natural colour of your teeth, and won’t be immediately obvious as you go about your daily life.
Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces are also gentler on your teeth than standard fixed appliances, because they use lower forces. Add to that the contracted treatment time – six months being the average, with some minor cases at our Stevenage dental practice complete in half that time, and the vast majority complete within a nine-month timeframe – and you can see why they are proving so popular.
The Six Month Smiles system of cosmetic braces is designed for mild to moderate correction of issues affecting the social six teeth – those that show when you smile. At our Stevenage dental practice we have found that it is these teeth that most adult patients are concerned about.
It’s the fact that they focus primarily on the front teeth is the reason Six Month Smiles work so quickly. You will need to attend monthly check-ups at our Stevenage dental practice for the duration of treatment to ensure that everything is progressing as planned, and to make any necessary adjustments.
