It’s the new year and for many of us that means new year’s resolutions. Whether it’s improving your fitness, taking up a new hobby or cutting down on a bad habit, we hope you manage to stick to yours.
For a lot of people, the start of a new year feels like the time to give yourself a new look. If you have concerns about the alignment of your teeth that affect your confidence in smiling, we may be able to help, with a revolutionary treatment called Six-Month Smiles.
Crooked, crowded and misaligned teeth make many people unhappy about their smile, but they are often unwilling to undergo traditional orthodontic treatment. What’s the first thing that springs to mind when you hear “orthodontics”? For a lot of people the word conjures up braces, comprising metal wires and brackets, which are very obvious. Traditional braces also have a reputation for long treatment times and discomfort as your teeth are slowly manoeuvred into a new position.
Six-Month Smiles are different. This treatment uses tooth-coloured wires and brackets and focuses on the front teeth – those that show when you smile. That means that the treatment is not just highly discreet, it’s also very fast – taking on average just six months, as the name suggests.
Wimbledon Dental Care is an accredited provider of Six-Month Smiles, and we’ve treated many happy patients. While the treatment is not suitable for cases where major orthodontic work is needed, we are pleased to invite you for a Six-Month Smiles consultation.
One of our experienced team will examine your teeth and decide if Six-Month Smiles is suitable for you. If you need major work then we will refer you to an orthodontist, but for Six-Month Smiles patients we will take impressions of your teeth so we can carefully position your brackets. Once your braces are fitted you’ll need to visit us every four to five weeks so we can make any adjustments. At the end of treatment we will fit a bonded retainer to the back of your teeth to keep them in their new position.
Why not beat the January blues and treat yourself by booking a Six-Month Smiles consultation today?
