6 Month Smiles - Six month smiles

 

Many people with orthodontic problems do not start the treatment because of the necessity to wear aligners or braces for up to a few years. Six Month Smiles is a technology that enables orthodontists to achieve the wanted results in as little as six months. Six Month Smiles can be used to deal with a variety of common orthodontic problems, including overcrowding of teeth, gaps, underbite and overbite. The Six Month Smiles braces are considered to be more discrete than traditional braces, since the wires are small and less noticeable and the braces match natural teeth in colour. Six Month Smiles are less noticeable but still have all the benefits of braces, allowing correction of severe orthodontic problems in a shorter period of time. The braces will have to be adjusted regularly after the initial procedure. Six Month Smiles enables the treatment to target the teeth that are more visible rather than the teeth at the back of the mouth, allowing much faster correction. The Six Month Smiles should not cause much discomfort after the patient adapts to the braces. A few days after the braces have been fitted, the patient can experience slight difficulties in speaking and salivate more than usual, but it should be back to normal in no time. The price of Six Month Smiles treatment differs throughout clinics, but is likely to be cheaper than traditional braces or Invisalign aligners.
