Six Month Smiles: Is It Right For You?
What Is Six Month Smiles?
In one sentence, Six Month Smiles is an affordable way to straighten your teeth. Although minor malocclusions and occlusal differences don’t affect your life, some people might want to change their smile. Six Month Smiles incorporates the best of Invisalign (clear orthodontic aligners) and traditional metal braces. It uses a “Lucid-Lok” bracket system, which is clear along with tooth-coloured wires. The combination of the two reduces the visibility of said braces, making them nearly invisible at a distance. If you are someone with small issues regarding the position and placement of your teeth, Six Month Smiles may be for you. Additionally, this line of treatment is advised to patients who aren’t interested in traditional braces or other options.
How Do Six Month Smiles Work?
This particular procedure involves correcting only minor cosmetic issues. This includes gaps between the teeth, misaligned, or slightly crooked teeth. For patients with serious orthodontic issues like severely crooked occlusion and poor bite, other treatments are better suited for them.
In short, healthy teeth without any major alignment issues get to experience the beauty of Six Month Smiles. This treatment provides fantastic results without the discomfort and unaesthetic appeal of traditional metal braces. Furthermore, this procedure takes care of minor issues involving the front teeth of a patient. This means that the treatment time is much shorter than that of traditional braces, which can take anywhere from 12 months to 2 years. It is even shorter than Invisalign, which takes a full year to complete.
Six Month Smiles Procedure
In your first visit, your dentist at White House Dental will assess your oral cavity. They will then proceed to take impressions of your upper and lower jaws. These are then sent to Six Month Smiles. The company designs and mails the concerned dentist a “patient tray kit”. This kit includes pre-positioned brackets set in bonding trays. It also contains any other material the dentist might require, like ligatures and wires. Essentially the kit is ready to go.
To sum it up, Six Month Smiles delivers outstanding results by gently repositioning your teeth with clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires.
Advantages Of Six Month Smiles
Braces of any type result in straighter and healthier teeth. But the fact remains that not all teeth straightening procedures are equal. Traditional braces might get the job done, but they involve a particular level of discomfort and extended treatment times. Clearer braces not only showcase faster results but are also much more comfortable than their counterparts. There are many pros of Six Month Smiles. Some of them are listed below –
Higher Aesthetic Appeal
With the use of clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, this treatment ranks higher on the aesthetic level than traditional braces. While the latter is extremely noticeable, the former blends inconspicuously with your pearly whites.
Shorter Treatment Time
This is perhaps the biggest advantage with Six Month Smiles. Compared to other forms of orthodontics, this treatment straightens your teeth in 6 months. As mentioned earlier, traditional braces can take up to 2 years and Invisalign takes up to 12 months. However, the reason why Six Month Smiles works so fast is that it is only straightening your front teeth.
More Comfortable
Aside from being made from a material that is much smoother and more comfortable, these are also less painful to place in a patient’s mouth.
More Affordable
The less average cost of Six Month Smiles makes this treatment line all the more appealing. Our team at The White House Dental Clinic will go over the Six Month Smiles’ cost with you when you come in for a consultation.
