Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a revolutionary adult braces system that straightens crooked teeth, and has been designed to do so in six months, which is significantly less time than conventional teeth straightening methods take. This is because Six Month Smiles doesn’t make any significant changes to your bite but instead focuses on straightening the front teeth that are visible when you smile.
Six Month Smiles use either clear aligners or discreet braces to straighten your visible smile, straightening only the front portion of your teeth. As Six Month Smiles only corrects minor orthodontic issues it is not suitable for everyone.
The positive benefits of Six Month Smiles:
- Clear brackets and tooth coloured wires make them barely visible
- The final results are predictable
- Cost-effective due to a shorter treatment time than traditional braces
- Minimally Invasive
- Excellent results achieved within 6-12 months
Complimentary teeth whitening is also included in your Six Month Smile Treatment.
Do Six Month Smiles Really Take Six Months?
When choosing Six Month Smiles it is important to remember that it is a minor cosmetic treatment that is not designed to treat large orthodontic issues. As it treats minor issues the treatment time is much faster than that of traditional braces.
Will Six Month Smiles Hurt?
Six Month Smiles is a routine procedure that slowly alters the angle and appearance of your teeth. Because of this there may be some slight discomfort, but they will not cause any pain.
Invisalign clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners with no need for traditional fixed braces.
Invisalign aligners:
- Are comfortable to wear and almost invisible.
- Gently and continuously move your teeth in small increments.
- Can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.
Invisalign
If you’re looking to transform your smile without using fixed braces, we can help. We are one of the dentists in Bristol that offers Invisalign; a discreet alternative to traditional adult braces.
Invisalign is used in cases where the crowding of the teeth is milder or if patients are not happy with having brackets on their teeth. Custom made clear aligners will gently move your teeth into the desired position over an average time of 12-18 months.
Dr Steven Ho is a registered Invisalign Comprehensive provider, correcting the most challenging and complex crowding problems.
The positive benefits of the Invisalign system are:
- Comfortable & Discreet
- Easily Removable for eating and cleaning
- As a digital treatment plan is constructed before treatment, you are already aware of what to expect at each stage and how long the treatment will take prior to starting treatment.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Invisalign takes slightly longer than Six Month Smiles, around an average of twelve months depending on how well the treatment plan has been followed.
What’s The Difference Between Invisalign or Six Month Smiles?
Invisalign and Six Month Smiles are both discreet braces that help to straighten your teeth.
Whilst Six Month Smiles is faster, it is only for the front most teeth, whereas Invisalign is able to treat more complex cases, and takes approximately twelve months.
