Six Months Smile

Six Months Smile focuses on straightening the front teeth you see when you smile.

Six Months Smile takes six months to complete treatment, this is because the braces are focusing on a smaller number of teeth.

Six Months Smile uses clear braces and wires the same colour as your teeth, so the braces are almost invisible and aesthetic in appearance.

Six Months Smile uses a wire with a `memory shape’ designed to gradually move your teeth into their desired position.

Patients suitable for Six Months Smile will be those who are generally happy with the appearance of their teeth but would like to create a straighter smile.

Six Months Smile is not suitable for patients with complex orthodontic problems and who would like to improve their bite.

Six Months Smile is a great alternative to traditional metal braces; it is less painful, requires less dental visits and has the benefit of appearance.

Six Months Smile has the benefit of being a faster treatment than other orthodontic options such as Invisalign.

Although Six Months Smile focuses on less complex cases, its shorter time means that there is less chance of other dental problems that can occur with orthodontic treatment, such as gum disease.

Six Months Smile’s main aim is to improve the appearance of your smile, enabling patients to feel more confident during social interactions.

Patients also don’t have to visit their dentist as often for adjustments as you would with traditional braces.
