Not long! Our technology implements the world’s best known orthodontic system. Six Month Smiles can create perfectly straight teeth within as little as a few months. It is a solution utilising a modern orthodontic system that creates beautiful smiles, solving common dental imperfections such as overcrowding, misalignment, and misplaced teeth within the mouth.
Are Six Month Smiles orthodontics visible?
Six Month Smiles devices are significantly less visible than traditional metal braces, due to the huge difference in the colour of the brackets. Traditional metal braces are extremely visible when adhered (using special dental glue) to the surfaces of the teeth. Six Month Smiles uses tooth coloured brackets and wires which are significantly more discreet than traditional metal braces. Individuals who undergo this form of orthodontics are not alone, as the number of people undergoing this treatment has increased dramatically within recent years.
How does the Six Month Smiles process work?
Before any work takes place, an initial consultation is always required. During this appointment your mouth will be examined, this will determine whether or not this treatment will be suitable for you, impressions will be taken of your teeth which are used to create the Six Month Smiles orthodontics. During the later fitting appointment the brackets are adhered to the surface of the teeth, the wires are then connected to the brackets.
How often should I come and see you at your clinic?
Individuals who are undergoing Six Month Smiles with us can come in for adjustments and fittings every four weeks.
What happens after my braces are removed?
Once removed, you will undergo a few finishing touches, such as teeth whitening. Other alterations that may be undergone could include repairs to any chips or imperfections within the mouth.
