Six Month Smiles to Straighten Smiles...for Adults Quick
Are you tired of smiling with gapped, crowded, or otherwise misaligned teeth? Too many adult patients forgo orthodontic treatment due to their reluctance to wear metal brackets and braces for two or more years. Fortunately, your orthodontist in Melbourne, Dr. Beverly Rose, offers a method for straightening teeth that doesn’t require covering teeth with noticeable hardware: Six Month Smiles®.
This highly effective method uses the same basic principles of traditional orthodontics -- like placing slight force on certain areas of the teeth to improve alignment -- but with an emphasis on producing faster results. With Six Month Smiles®, patients enjoy their straight teeth in far less than half the time of traditional braces. All while using materials that blend with your natural tooth enamel, so you can continue to smile with confidence throughout your treatment!
How Six Month Smiles Works
How can Six Month Smiles straighten teeth in just half a year? Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, the approach concentrates solely on moving your front teeth. We call these teeth the “Social Six,” since they are the ones that show when you speak, smile, and laugh. Their proper alignment is important for your overall appearance.
Because it only focuses on part of your bite, Six Month Smiles is best suited for patients who suffer more from cosmetic issues related to misaligned teeth rather than severe bite issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
Six Month Smiles® offers the same predictable results as traditional braces, and because its treatment is faster and it has a more limited scope, it is usually less expensive than other orthodontic options, too.
Benefits of Six Month Smiles
For eligible candidates, Six Month Smiles offers a number of advantages compared to other orthodontic options, like traditional metal braces or other clear braces methods.
Some of the most notable benefits of Six Month Smiles include:
- Faster treatment time
- Clear and tooth-colored materials blend well with the natural teeth
- Quickly shifts the teeth that show when you smile
- May be associated with less soreness than traditional braces
- Often more affordable than other orthodontic options
