If you’ve heard about Six Month Smiles, but want to know what it’s all about, then you’ve come to the right place. In a nutshell, it is a clear brace that is designed to straighten your front teeth in around six months. The fast results are due to the focus on tackling cosmetic problems and straightening only the front teeth.
While the requirement for face masks during the coronavirus pandemic might mean you have to hide your smile, if you had any concerns about how you look with a brace, then perhaps it’s the perfect opportunity!
It’s a type of treatment that is sometimes referred to as ‘short-term orthodontics’. It might sound like the perfect solution, but there are some things to bear in mind, a trade-off for a treatment that is completed in six months. We want to have a look at the benefits of Six Month Smiles.
Quicker treatment
The main advantage for many people is that treatment takes around six months. Comprehensive orthodontic treatments – which straighten all your teeth – can take 12 -18 months. The reason why Six Month Smiles are quicker is because it is only straightening your front teeth.
Discreet brackets
Six Month Smiles has clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which blend inconspicuously with your teeth. Clear braces are a popular choice among patients, and they can be used for both short-term and comprehensive treatments.
Affordable treatment
The speed at which Six Month Smiles work is reflected in the price, and often costs less than comprehensive orthodontic treatment. When comparing the cost of different treatments and providers it’s important to research your dentist or orthodontist and find out exactly what your treatment includes.
