Traditional orthodontic treatment takes time—usually two years or more. There is a way, however, to reduce that time significantly. With Six Month Smiles, you can have a straight and beautiful smile in, well, six months. Dr. L. Blaine Kennington at Cowlitz River Dental has used Six Month Smiles to create happy smiles for many patients in and around Castle Rock, WA, and he can do the same for you!
Whereas traditional braces are meant to realign all of your teeth, Six Month Smiles focuses only on those teeth that are in your smile zone. Moreover, although Six Month Smiles uses common orthodontic mechanics, the emphasis is on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth and not the position of your bite.
Six Month Smiles and You
Speaking of the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, Six Month Smiles offers the added advantage of using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, so the braces are less noticeable while you’re wearing them. Likewise, many of our patients tell us that Six Months Smiles are quite comfortable. This is probably because these braces use low force to move teeth more gently.
As the name implies, most adults complete their orthodontic treatment in about six months with Six Month Smiles. Because teeth have “memory,” you will need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new straight position once you’ve completed treatment. You can have a removable retainer or one that is bonded into place.
