 6 Months
Smiles
6 Month Braces is a revolutionary orthodontic
service for adults who have, until now, felt
like they would need to wait 2 years with fixed
braces. Until now, if you had crooked teeth,
there was a choice between Porcelain Veneers and
traditional long-term braces (orthodontics).
Traditional long-term adult orthodontics may
take one to two years, or even more in some
cases, to straighten all your teeth.
Understandably, many adults simply don't want to
wear braces for that long. However, traditional
braces still have their place.
Six Month
Smiles Adult Braces is an easy choice to make
compared to the two previous alternatives in
many cases.
What do 6 month smiles braces look like?
You may remember the "train track metal
mouth" look from years ago. 6 Month Braces uses
tooth-colored (white) brackets and wires.
They're Invisible Braces!
Six Month
Smiles Braces are appropriate for correcting
spaces, gaps, crooked, or crowded teeth. If the
teeth that show in your smile aren't straight, 6
Month Braces may be the perfect solution for
you.
Are 6 Month Braces the Same As Regular
Braces?
6 Month Braces are very similar to
conventional adult orthodontics as it pertains
to brackets and wires being used. The mechanism
of moving the teeth is the same. The difference
between Six Month Smiles Invisible Braces and
conventional braces is the focus of the
treatment. With 6 Month Smiles, the focus is
only on the teeth that show in your smile. The
goal of 6 Month Braces is to give you a smile
you can be proud of in a reasonable amount of
time. It addresses the cosmetic issues of
orthodontics.
Most people have no trouble
chewing. Their teeth function well, and their
bites work fine. Six Month Braces can be
finished more quickly than traditional braces
because the focus is not on changing your bite.
Traditional long term adult orthodontics go
beyond that, to perfecting your bite in your
back teeth. Will It Really Take Only 6 Months?
Most Six Month Braces cases will take about 6
months. Some may take less. A few may take more
than 6 months. A "long" case may take up to 9
months to achieve the goals. The vast majority
of cases take 6 months.
Does 6 month Smiles Move Teeth Faster Than
Normal Braces and does it damage them?
6 Month Braces uses very light and safe
forces to move teeth at the same rate as
traditional braces. The teeth are not being
moved faster. The difference between Six Month
Braces and traditional braces is that the
treatment is completed sooner. Your front teeth
(that show when you smile) move faster than your
back teeth. Traditional braces take longer
because there is an additional goal of
perfecting the bite in your back teeth. 6 Month
Braces is not concerned with perfecting the bite
in your back teeth, so the treatment stops once
the front teeth are positioned in a cosmetically
pleasing arrangement. So, the rate of tooth
movement is the same, but the total treatment
time is faster - about 6 months.
