What Is Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles is a short-term orthodontic treatment designed to straighten the teeth that show most prominently when you smile. Rather than focusing on comprehensive orthodontic correction, treatment concentrates primarily on improving the appearance and alignment of visible teeth.
The average treatment time is approximately six months, although the exact length of treatment depends on your individual smile and orthodontic needs.
How Does Six Month Smiles Work?
Six Month Smiles uses established orthodontic principles with a more cosmetically focused approach. Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are used to gently guide the teeth into improved positions while making the braces less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Because treatment focuses on the teeth that are most visible when you smile, some patients may be able to achieve their cosmetic goals in less time than with comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Six Month Smiles
Patients often consider Six Month Smiles because it combines shorter treatment times with a discreet appearance. Potential benefits include:
- An average treatment time of approximately six months
- Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires
- A focus on improving the teeth that show when you smile
- A more discreet appearance than traditional metal braces
- A treatment option designed around cosmetic smile improvement
Every smile is different, so our dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite before recommending treatment.
Who Is a Candidate for Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles may be a good option for adults who want to improve the appearance of crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced front teeth without undergoing a longer course of comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
The treatment is not designed to correct every type of orthodontic concern. During your consultation, our dentist will examine your smile, discuss what you would like to change and explain whether Six Month Smiles can help you reach those goals.
Six Month Smiles vs. Clear Aligners
Both Six Month Smiles and clear aligner therapy can provide more discreet alternatives to conventional metal braces, but they work differently. Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, while clear aligners use removable trays to gradually move the teeth.
Oasis Studio Carreon Dental & Aesthetics also offers Invisalign® clear aligners. Dr. Carreon can discuss the differences between these options and help you understand which approach may better match your smile goals and treatment needs.
