One of the most common questions patients ask about orthodontics is how long treatment will take. Our dentist, Dr. Michael T. Smith, and our team offer Six Month Smiles®, which can improve the alignment of your smile in a much shorter time frame than traditional braces.
Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to gently move the teeth that show most when you smile. The system focuses on cosmetic alignment of the front teeth rather than more complex bite corrections, which is part of why treatment time can be shorter than comprehensive orthodontic treatment. During a consultation, Dr. Smith will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether Six Month Smiles, Invisalign, or another treatment is the right fit for your goals.
Benefits of Six Month Smiles
- Discreet appearance: Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
- Focused treatment: The system targets the teeth that show most when you smile.
- Shorter treatment timeline: Because treatment focuses on cosmetic alignment, many cases move more quickly than comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
After your consultation, Dr. Smith places clear brackets and tooth-colored wires on your front teeth. You will visit our office periodically so he can adjust your wires and monitor your progress as your teeth move into their new position. Once your treatment is finished, he will typically recommend a retainer to help hold your teeth in their new position.
