Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles® is a short term orthodontic treatment used for crooked front teeth and front teeth gaps.

TYPICAL TREATMENT LENGTH

Most cases are completed within 6 months because of the continual low pressure forces being applied to the teeth.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS

Referral

On the NHS, those under 18 who meet the IOTN requirements will be referred to an Orthodontist by their Dentist. Alternatively, adults can contact any Orthodontic practice directly for private treatment. This is known as ‘self-referral’.

Initial Assessment

If you are an adult (16 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this could be the solution for you.

Treatment

Six Month Smiles is a discreet, orthodontic system that is a modern twist on traditional orthodontics. The Six Month Smiles system uses clear brackets and tooth coloured wires to produce gentle forces to straighten teeth into an ideal position. Each patient is individually assessed, to ascertain whether this treatment is suitable.

Six Month Smiles® is the best choice for adults interested in quick and affordable, life-changing cosmetic improvements to their smiles with adult braces.

Low forces and short overall orthodontic treatment times increase comfort, safety, and hygiene. Six Month Smiles is typically less expensive than traditional braces, aligner therapy, or veneers

Aftercare

Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth.
