For as long as many patients can remember, traditional braces have been the “go to” orthodontic treatment. And while braces are a tried and true way to straightening orthodontic issues, they can also make teenagers and adults self-conscious about their appearance. Fortunately, your orthodontist in Melbourne offers a modern alternative that can provide similar results to traditional braces—more discreetly and in a shorter time frame! Six Month Smiles can provide a range of cosmetic and oral health benefits for the right patients. If you’ve wanted to straighten your teeth fast and effectively, Dr. Beverly Rose of Exceptional Dentistry may be able to help.
What is Six Month Smiles?
Much like traditional braces, the Six Month Smiles treatment utilizes brackets and wires to gently shift your teeth into their correct places. The big difference is that instead of using unsightly metallic parts that make your braces stand out, Six Month Smiles utilizes clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, making your treatment blend in seamlessly with your smile. Additionally, only visible teeth that require straightening are affected, so the treatment process is much shorter than that of traditional braces.
Issues Six Month Smiles Can Correct
If you have any of these flaws in your smile and wish to correct them, you should consider undergoing this easy straightening treatment.
- Teeth that are crowded together
- Gaps between teeth
- Individually cowed teeth
- Mild rotations
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
Are you a good candidate for Six Month Smiles?
Our office can help many patients who might be considering this innovative straightening treatment. Specifically, patients you may be a suitable candidate for Six Month Smiles if you have some or all of the following qualities:
- Mild to moderate crowding: Six Month Smiles works a lot like normal braces, but because they are applied together through a custom tray – and not individually tightened by your Melbourne orthodontist – they may not provide adequate results for patients with severely crowed teeth. Therefore, patients with mild to moderate crowed teeth are the best candidates for treatment.
- Cosmetic dental issues: Six Month Smiles is typically viewed as a cosmetic treatment for patients who wish to improve the appearance of their smile.
- A desire for a matured treatment: One of the greatest benefits of this treatment is that it blends in with the natural color of your teeth, and will therefore not be a distraction as you smile, talk, or laugh with friends and co-workers. It’s great for older patients!
- A desire for expedited treatment: Six Month Smiles can produce straighter teeth in a shorter timeline than alternative treatments. Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to take forever or be uncomfortable!
