Braces remain, in many cases, the best way to straighten teeth, affording your dentist or orthodontist maximum control over the movement of each tooth. At Stevenagedental practice Smilecraft, we have treated many adult patients successfully with the help of Six Month Smiles.
What are Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces, specifically designed to work in a shortened time period by focussing primarily on the front six to eight teeth – those that are on display when you flash a smile. They take the traditional principles of orthodontics and reinvent them for the 21st Century, using clear and tooth-coloured components for maximum discretion: in other words, they will blend in with the natural colour of your teeth and many people will not notice them.
If you are interested in treatment with Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces, the first thing you should do is book a consultation with a dentist at our Stevenage practice. They will carefully examine your teeth and assess whether Six Month Smiles are the best treatment option to suit your needs.
It should be noted that cosmetic braces are not designed for major orthodontic correction or to alter your bite (the way that the jaws come together). However, they are a very effective method of correcting alignment and spacing issues with your front teeth.
Six Month Smiles braces are custom-made to fit your teeth, and are designed to be more comfortable than traditional orthodontic appliances because they utilise lower forces. When you come for your initial Six Month Smiles consultation at our Stevenagedental practice, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth so that your appliance can be made to exact specifications.
The brackets of these braces are clear, whilst the wires are made from tooth-coloured nickel titanium. This means they will blend in very effectively with the natural colour of your teeth.
