What is 6 Month Smiles or 6 Month Braces?
6 Month Smiles (also referred to as 6 Month Braces) is the latest technique from the USA for straightening your teeth. Six Month Smiles™ utilises a brand new technology that allows clear braces to gently straighten teeth in an average time of only six months. The technology works by focusing on the teeth that show when you smile and does not attempt to make significant bite changes, instead focusing on the core areas that allow your dentist to comfortably straighten your teeth and give you the attractive, pleasant smile you’ve always wanted.

Q: How can teeth be straightened in only six months?
By utilising a process that focuses on core objectives of the treatment, such as focusing on the smile areas, rather than the full bite. The key components of the treatment are the use of special nickel titanium wires and a primary focus of moving the teeth that show when you smile. Six Month Orthodontics employs the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to move your teeth quickly and safely.
Q: Although six months sounds excellent, will I still have a mouth full of metal for the whole time?
Absolutely not! Six Month Smiles treatments use specially designed tooth-colored braces that are barely visible. The wires are usually tooth-colored as well which means that your braces are virtually invisible. These are nothing like the classic jaws metal braces!
Q: Is it true that Six Month Smiles braces are more comfortable than regular braces?
Yes, this is true due to the fact that the Six Month Smiles Braces use low force techniques to move teeth more comfortably. It is a common misconception that many people think that the accelerated 6 month treatment means simply “tightening” regular braces to move the teeth, but this is not a true description of how the treatment works. Six Month Smiles utilizes standard orthodontic mechanics, but with emphasis on improving the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, rather than the older method of repositioning your bite as well.
Q: Will I need to wear a retainer?
Yes you can choose to have either a fixed retainer bonded to the back surfaces of your teeth or a removable retainer that you’ll need to wear a few nights a week. This will prevent the teeth from moving back after treatment with the Six Month Smiles Braces.
