Are you looking to straighten your smile, but don’t want to spend a year or more in metal brackets and wires? Then, Six Month Smiles may be the right treatment for you. Just half a year or less, and you can have a straighter, more attractive smile.

At Smilecraft, we offer fast-track orthodontics in Stevenage to patients who wish to straighten their front teeth in a short period of time, while preparing for a big occasion such as a wedding or a graduation. Six Month Smiles braces work just like regular braces, however they are much faster and less noticeable.

What is Six Month Smiles and how does it work?

Six Month Smiles braces are specifically designed to straighten your teeth much more quickly than is possible with standard braces. Unlike standard metal braces, these braces consist of clear ceramic brackets with tooth-coloured wires and, therefore, are barely visible when you smile.

The treatment is much quicker than with conventional braces, as it focuses on correcting only your front teeth – essentially the teeth that can be seen when you smile. Because standard braces correct every tooth position as well as your bite, the treatment can take many months. But with Six Month Smiles you can enjoy having straighter teeth, in six months, as the name of the treatment suggests.

Six Month Smiles puts its speed in its name, and for good reason. Your dental appointments will be shorter than those for traditional braces. That’s because no complex tooth movements are required, and we can quickly perform adjustments as necessary.

Treatment with Six Month Smiles braces is gentle and you shouldn’t experience any pain or discomfort. This is partly because these braces do not affect the roots of your teeth.

Moreover, the brackets are barely visible and nobody will know you are undergoing treatment, unless you tell them. Finally, since the treatment takes less time than traditional braces, the cost is usually a more affordable option.

Do you wish you had straighter teeth? You may be worrying about how you look, or experiencing pain or difficulties with eating and speaking. If this sounds like you and you see us at Smilecraft in Stevenage, orthodontics can help. Orthodontics focuses on how the teeth, jaws and face develop. Every year over 200,000 children and teenagers in England and Wales have orthodontic treatment and make a long-term investment in their health and wellbeing. Treatment is best carried out during childhood when there is a mixture of baby and adult teeth. However, if you are an adult who has missed out on corrective procedures as a child, it is not too late to have work done now.

What are the benefits of having orthodontics in Stevenage?

Straighter teeth look better, which enhances your self-esteem and improves your confidence. They are also healthier. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to clean, as there are fewer gaps in which plaque can accumulate. Correctly positioned teeth are also more stable, as they are properly supported and are less likely to move around in the mouth, get damaged or become loose. For our patients in Stevenage, orthodontics has also helped with discomfort from poorly positioned teeth, as well as issues around using the mouth normally. You may associate orthodontics with metal braces but there are now modern techniques available to suit your needs.

Fitting in with your lifestyle

We offer orthodontics in Stevenage for a range of issues, from resolving crowded or poorly spaced teeth to aligning upper or lower dental arches and correcting the bite of the teeth. A good bite allows the upper and lower sets to meet and work together properly during eating. Advances in dental technology have allowed us to provide faster, more comfortable treatment that is much less obtrusive. Modern braces used in the Six Months Smiles technique make use of tooth-coloured wires and brackets. You can have the smile you want without the inconvenience, discomfort and unsightliness of traditional methods. The treatment time is shorter than before, so it can often save you money too.

Are crooked teeth making your life difficult? You may worry about your smile, experience pain, or have difficulties with eating or speaking. If this sounds familiar then you may like to speak to our experienced team at Smilecraft in Stevenage. Orthodontics is a specific branch of dental work that focuses on how the teeth, jaws and face develop. If you have large gaps between your teeth then you may find that other teeth drift out of place, compounding the problem. They are also harder to clean due to plaque accumulation. Any sort of misalignment in the mouth is unsightly, but because treatment is so effective, there is no need to suffer. Using orthodontics in Stevenage ensures that your teeth work together properly, are stable and look good.

Contemporary techniques for modern lifestyles

For our patients in Stevenage, orthodontics needs to offer a service that fits in with their way of life. People nowadays are conscious of their image as well as short on time, so we use the Six Month Smiles technique. This makes use of tooth-coloured wires and brackets, which are less obtrusive. The wires exert a gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct place, while the brackets hold the wires in place. They are very discreet and work effectively to reposition your teeth.

At Smilecraft in Stevenage, we believe that oral wellbeing is a mental thing as well as a physical one. Having a mouth and teeth that are free from infection and cavities provides important physical wellbeing. But the mental and emotional wellbeing that comes from having a smile to behold should not be underestimated. This second aspect of dentistry falls into an area of special skill known as orthodontics. In Stevenage, this is an area of dentistry we focus on.

Put simply, orthodontics is the term for the dental science of straightening the teeth and making sure that the upper and lower teeth bite together well.

Benefits abound

In Stevenage, orthodontics at Smilecraft have surprisingly great knock-on effects. When you get your misaligned teeth straightened out, you have fewer nooks and crannies for plaque to build up in, and your teeth become far easier to keep clean with brushing and flossing. Less plaque means less risk of gum disease and tooth decay. It is also possible to get rid of a great deal of unnecessary pain by having one’s bite improved. This is because when the teeth do not bite together properly, the pressure of chewing is unevenly distributed, and can lead to pain in the jaw muscle and joint, and even headaches and neck ache.

Orthodontics in Stevenage offers what we think is one of the best systems for realigning the teeth.

Just six months?

Six Month Smiles is a fast and discreet teeth straightening system that blends in with your teeth rather than dominating them. It uses the same tried and trusted mechanics of traditional orthodontics, but with much gentler forces. This means that the hardware is can be smaller. Six Month Smiles features clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires. The wires are strung between the brackets and tightened to move the teeth with a gentle and sustained pulling force. It is this, along with the angle of the brackets, that determines how the teeth move. The average treatment time is only 6 months, although it can be as little as 4 months and as much as 9 months.

Orthodontics in Stevenage are available for both children and adults. If you would like to find out how we can help you, please give us a call.
