6 Month Braces. A new Smile by Summertime!

Dentistry now has more cosmetic options than ever before. People are also more aware that an unattractive smile is not a life sentence. You can change your smile!

The most common complaints about unattractive smiles usually include:
- dark or discolored teeth
- spaces or gaps
- crowding or crooked teeth
- worn down or chipped teeth
Every patient has different goals so treatments can vary to correct cosmetic issues you may have. Options include anything from simple whitening procedures to correct the color, to braces and/ or porcelain veneers to correct the alignment or shape of your teeth. A combination of treatments may also be right for you. If your only concern is the color of your teeth, simple whitening may be the solution.

If your teeth are misaliged or mishaped, orthodontics (braces) or percelain veneers may be what is needed.

Most people are familiar with braces (orthodontics). There is the traditional approach to braces, and today we also have 6 Month Braces. The way they work is very similar, the goals are different.
Traditional braces are intended to not only straighten teeth, but also to correct any bite discrepancies, thus making the treatment time is longer. Usually it's anywhere from 12 to 36 months. 6 Month Braces are intended to correct the alignment of the teeth in the "smile zone." 6 Month Cosmetic Braces straighten only the teeth that show in your smile. 6 Month Braces are a wonderful solution for adult patients who are not happy with their smiles because of spacing, crowding, or crooked teeth.

The advantage of 6 Month Braces over Traditional is that it is much faster and typically much less expensive, while being equally as safe.
The technique works due to the use of new advanced materials and techniques that put low force on the teeth and gradually move them into their most beautiful position.
