Lengthy treatment times are a considerable factor for many adults who would like to benefit from straighter teeth but don’t want to spend a year or more wearing metal brackets and wires. There’s good news for patients who just need a minor tweak for a considerable impact — Six Month Smiles produces beautiful results in less than half the time of traditional braces. Keep reading to learn how this treatment works and whether or not it’s right for your smile. If it is, we look forward to getting started right away.
How Does Six Month Smiles Work?
Six Month Smiles is an orthodontic treatment option that works by quickly shifting the teeth that show when you speak and smile. We sometimes call these the “social six,” because they are the teeth that really make the difference in your overall appearance.
This accelerated orthodontic treatment focuses on making cosmetic improvements to your smile rather than overhauling the entire bite. In this way, the transformation is much quicker than is possible with traditional approaches.
In addition to providing a quicker treatment, Six Month Smiles also uses clear braces and brackets to help you continue to speak and smile confidently throughout the treatment. With fast results and subtle hardware, this treatment is a very appealing option for busy or professional adults looking to improve the appearance of their front teeth.
Multiple Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Six Month Smiles improves the way your smile looks, but the benefits are more significant than just the cosmetic. Just a few of the advantages of having your teeth straightened at any age include…
- Oral hygiene may improve, as it is often easier to properly brush and floss well-aligned teeth.
- The risk of tooth decay and gum disease lowers with improved dental hygiene.
- Soft benefits of an attractive smile may include increased sociability, increased self-confidence, and others.
Is Six Month Smiles Right for You?
Patients who are dealing with more significant dental misalignments, like overbite, underbite, crossbite, and similar issues, may be better served by traditional orthodontics. But if your front teeth are crooked or misaligned but your overall bite is sound, Six Month Smiles could be a wonderful option for your smile. Invisalign may also be a great choice. This clear-braces option also blends well with your natural smile, so you won’t have to worry about wearing visible hardware during treatment.
Whether you would be better served by Six Month Smiles or Invisalign, the benefits of undergoing orthodontic treatment are significant. To find out which one is right for you, we invite you to get in touch with our office today. We look forward to discussing your options in more detail.
