Ready to learn more about this popular treatment? We've compiled a list below of the most frequently asked questions we've received from patients about Six Month Smiles.
Am I A Good Candidate for Six Month Smiles?
You may be a good candidate for Six Month Smiles if you are an adult with crooked, spaced or misaligned teeth.
How is Six Month Smiles Different From Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are very effective at straightening teeth but they are not discrete. They can take anywhere from one or two years (or longer) to straighten your teeth. Patients with metal braces, especially if they are adults, may also feel self-conscious when they smile or speak to other people.
Six Month Smiles allows you to achieve similar results without having a mouth full of metal. It's Lucid-Lok clear brackets and thin enamel-colored wires makes it easier for the braces to blend in with your natural teeth.
Your dentist also doesn't have to frequently "tighten" the clear braces like they may have to with metal braces. The Six Month Smiles clear braces system may be more affordable than conventional metal braces.
Are Six Month Smiles Braces Uncomfortable?
This type of treatment is relatively more comfortable than other orthodontic options since it uses low force to move teeth into better alignment.
The majority of our patients who decide to sign up for the Six Month Smiles clear braces system do not feel any discomfort, although it all depends on your teeth and how much movement is needed to make them straight. If you do feel uncomfortable, please consult your dentist as soon as possible.
Will I Need A Retainer After Finishing the Six Month Smiles Treatment?
Yes, you may need to use a retainer after participating in the Six Month Smiles program to maintain your new smile. You can discuss the options available to you with your dentist.
Does it Really Only Take Six Months?
Yes! Many patients only need six months to get an amazing smile, but some patients may need to use the system for a shorter or longer duration of time. Overall, the treatment duration will vary depending on your specific dental needs.
