Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a fixed brace system, which straightens the teeth in just six months. Six Month Smiles was developed in the USA and it has become very popular in the UK. Six Month Smiles braces are much lighter and more discreet than traditional fixed braces and they are ideal for people who are preparing for a special occasion, such as a wedding.

How do the Six Month Smiles braces work?

Six Month Smiles braces focus on the front teeth, as they can be seen when a patient smiles. The teeth are encouraged to move by the forces generated by the brackets and wires of the braces.

Treatment stages

Stage 1: One of our Six Month Smiles dentists will examine your mouth to check that you are the right patient for Six Month Smiles treatment; they will also talk about the braces with you and answer your questions.

Stage 2: Your dentist will create impressions of your teeth and send them to the laboratory in the USA. The impressions will be used to create your new Six Month Smiles braces.

Stage 3: Once your braces have been sent back to us, we will fit them and treatment will start. We will arrange check-ups with you throughout the treatment process to make sure that you are happy with your braces.

Why choose Six Month Smiles braces?

The major benefit of Six Month Smiles braces is that they work very quickly. The braces are also discreet, comfortable and painless. Six Month Smiles braces are usually less expensive than other orthodontic treatments.
