What is The Six Month Smile Treatment?

Six Month Smiles is one of the orthodontic treatments we offer here at Clear Lake Dental Care. Six Month Smiles is a revolutionary teeth straightening method that is as effective as metal braces and as discreet as Invisalign. The straightening treatment uses virtually invisible brackets and tooth-colored wires to slowly move your teeth to their ideal position.

Benefits of Six Month Braces

With Six Month Braces you can get results in as little as six months because the force is strategically focused on certain teeth only. Six Month Smiles provides patients with benefits such as:

• Moving your teeth gradually and comfortably
• An affordable alternative to conventional braces
• Typically does not require tooth extraction
• Reducing treatment time
• Discreet clear wires instead of metal

Six Month smile Candidates

Patients that are 15 years of age or older and want to straighten their teeth without years of work are candidates for the Six Month Smile treatment. Six Month Smiles is ideal for treating misalignment problems and cosmetic problems concerning your front teeth including spacing, overbites, crowding and overlapping teeth, and asymmetry.

A consultation with one of our highly skilled dentists at Clear Lake Dental Care will determine if you are a candidate. During your consultation, our staff will examine your mouth and jaw. In addition, they will take digital impressions or molds of your teeth to design the custom braces and start your six-month process.

The Six Month Smiles Process

Six Month Smiles is basically a tweak on traditional metal braces that change the treatment time to an average of six months. Based on the impressions from your consultation, we will calculate the movement path for your teeth and the placement of the braces. Six Month Smiles uses tooth-colored brackets that are placed on your teeth and wires that connect each bracket just like traditional metal braces.

At your appointment, the brackets and wires will be placed using a bonding agent. Once bonded, we attach the arch wires and adjust for the proper fit. After this appointment, we see patients about once a month for tightening and adjustments until treatment is complete. Finally, at the end of six months, the brackets and wires are removed. Patients will need to wear a retainer so that the teeth don’t move back to their original position. You’ll love your smile after going through the quick and easy treatment with Six Month Smiles

Caring for your Braces

It is important throughout your entire treatment process, as well as afterward, to maintain proper oral hygiene. In order to do so, patients should brush at least twice a day and floss. For additional cleaning, patients can use a water pik under the arch wires. Clear Lake Dental Care also recommends avoiding sticky food, such as gum, or hard food, such as apples. Both items and those similar, can damage the brackets and wires.
