Six Month Smiles belongs to an area of dentistry known as cosmetic orthodontics. It is designed for the treatment of minor to moderate orthodontic issues affecting the front ten teeth in the upper and lower jaw, and have been created to be far more discreet than traditional metal braces.
An increasing number of adults are turning to cosmetic orthodontic treatments such as Six Month Smiles to correct alignment issues with their teeth. For a long time, adults who dreamed of straighter teeth found themselves in a quandary: whilst the desire for beautifully aligned teeth was strong, the thought of wearing traditional metal train-track style braces was enough to make them balk, and often enough to stop them from seeking treatment altogether.
Some adults still face this headache, but at Smilecraft in Stevenage we are keen to let potential patients know that there is a far more discreet solution available. We are also keen to extol the virtues of teeth straightening; it shouldn’t ever be considered just a vanity project, because as well as the considerable positive impact it can have on your self-confidence and thus on your business and personal relationships, it should also be noted that straighter teeth are usually healthier teeth, being easier to keep clean.
Six Month Smiles work, as the name indicates, in an average time of just half a year. They do this by focussing on the front six to ten teeth in the upper and lower jaw – the teeth that people see when you smile.
These braces are much more discreet than standard braces because they comprise tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets. This means that they blend in to the natural colour of your teeth, and aren’t immediately obvious the way metal appliances are.
