The Quickest Option

The Six Month Smiles system consists of patented Lucid-lok clear brackets and Chameleon tooth-colored wires. Adolescents, teenagers, and especially adults appreciate the invisibility of this technique. To qualify as a candidate for this process, you will have to be in need of teeth straightening as opposed to looking to repair a misaligned bite. Because of the specific criteria, Six Month Smiles can be completed in a shorter time frame than traditional braces. Some patients mistakenly assume that shorter treatment time means that a higher force is used to straighten the teeth. The opposite is actually true. Since we are not be focused on repairing a bite issue with this system, gentler forces are used, so comfort is maximized.

A Force to be Reckoned With

You may want a little more explanation on just what we mean by force. When it comes to orthodontics, you may hear terms such as lower force, gentler force, harsher force, or higher force. Traditional metal braces utilize higher forces in order to straighten teeth and correct the bite at the same time. When we say “bite” we are referring to the way the upper and lower arches of your teeth fit together. When a patient’s bite is misaligned, the clinical term a dentist will use is malocclusion. Traditional braces call upon higher or harsher forces to repair malocclusion and straighten teeth. Six Month Smiles supplies maximum comfort during treatment by using lower or gentler force to focus on cosmetic issues.

Straighter Teeth are Cleaner Teeth

The most obvious benefit of orthodontics will be your gorgeous and straight teeth. Smiles are a huge advantage when developing a social or romantic life. They release endorphins, making you feel energized and happy. Frequent smiling can even improve your physical health. When your teeth are straight, they’re easier to keep clean, which means better breath for close interactions with others. Overlapping teeth can harbor food particles and bacteria, but that will be a thing of the past when orthodontics provide you with even spacing that’s a cinch to brush and floss.

Straighter Teeth Fast

Maybe you’re thinking this all sounds great, but you’re still going to have to weather the holidays with a tin grin. Not necessarily. If metal braces seem out of the question to you, Six Month Smiles or Invisalign are potential answers. You can still enjoy all of your social interactions without worrying about offending your date with food particles stuck in the brackets and wires. Invisalign, in particular, puts problems like these in the past since you can take the invisible alignment trays out to eat and brush your teeth. Six Month Smiles have a similar structure to traditional braces but work faster and are designed to blend in with your teeth.
