Teeth Straightening FAQs

How can Teeth be Straightened in Only 6 months?

The Six Month Smiles technique employs the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to move your teeth quickly and safely with clear adult braces. The key components of the treatment are the use of unique, clear braces and a primary focus of moving the teeth that show when you smile, rather than completely altering and correcting your bite for example.

Six months Sounds Good, but will I still have a mouth full of metal braces for the whole time?

No. Six Month Smiles uses clear braces and white wires to gently straighten your teeth.

How are Six Month Smiles braces More Comfortable than Regular Braces?

Six Month Smiles uses low force to move teeth gently. Many people think that the accelerated braces treatment means simply “tightening” regular braces to get the teeth moving, but that is not true. Six Month Smiles utilises standard orthodontic mechanics, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.

Do Six Month Smiles braces Damage the Teeth, Roots, or Gums?

There are no more risks of root damage or other issues than those associated with traditional orthodontics. Since the forces used with Six Month Smiles braces are lighter and teeth are seldom extracted, there are actually even fewer risks involved with Six Month Smiles.

Will I Have to Wear a Retainer?

Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth, to stop them drifting back to their original position. You can have bonded retainers placed on the insides of the front teeth so they can’t be seen.
