What Is Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles is the brand name of an innovative orthodontic system. Similar to traditional braces, it uses brackets and wires to straighten teeth.
However, traditional orthodontic treatment places a heavy emphasis on correcting functional alignment issues that affect both the appearance and health of the teeth. Six Month Smiles, on the other hand, is more of a cosmetic treatment. It primarily shifts the teeth that are visible when you smile, meaning that the process is generally much faster than traditional orthodontics.
As its name suggests, Six Month Smiles takes about six months on average to finish its job. However, the timeframe can range from four to nine months overall.
What Orthodontic Issues Can Six Month Smiles Fix?
Six Month Smiles is not intended to correct severe or complex dental misalignment. During your consultation, our team will evaluate the positioning of your teeth to determine whether this treatment is a good fit for you. If Six Month Smiles may not be able to address your specific concerns, we may suggest that you use Invisalign instead.
Here are a few examples of issues that Six Month Smiles can sometimes be used to address:
Crowded & Crooked Teeth
Crowded and crooked teeth can negatively affect your appearance and even make it challenging to maintain thorough oral hygiene. Six Month Smiles can often correct mild crowding, leading to a more pleasing appearance and easier brushing and flossing.
Gapped Teeth
A gap between your front teeth might make you feel self-conscious, and it can leave your gums vulnerable to irritation. Six Month Smiles may be able to close that pesky space so you can level up your confidence.
