6 month smiles
The ability to achieve straighter teeth in only 6 months is a sure sign of how far orthodontic treatment has advanced in recent times. And as one of the foremost 6 month smile clinics in Oxford, we at The Smile Practice feel it is our duty to ensure patients know the ins and outs of such an advanced treatment.
How does 6 month smiles work?
6 month smile brace use small, tooth-coloured wires of similar style to traditional braces, but with one major difference: Discreetness. The way the braces work is unique in that they aim to only improve the aesthetics of the front teeth, which is the reason for the fast treatment time.
6 month smile braces are ideal for those with crooked teeth, small gaps or mild overcrowding. The braces are designed to fix misaligned teeth as quickly as possible, hence their name.
There will be some discomfort when you begin treatment, but this is the same with any other orthodontic treatment. In time this, and other initial factors like affect on speech and excess saliva, will alleviate. You will have to make frequent visits to the dentist to have the braces adjusted, usually every 4-5 weeks, but we will endeavour to make the visits as swift and straightforward as possible.
