6-Month Smiles | Dental Treatment Guide
This is an orthodontic treatment that only works on the teeth that are displayed when you smile. These are the teeth that are most visible to others when talking, eating and of course smiling and so will be the teeth that are located towards the front of the mouth. It may only make a small change to your teeth as a whole but usually this is a very noticeable change. When you smile the teeth that have been treated will be noticeably different in terms of their appearance and straightness.
This method is much faster than other orthodontic treatments. It works to start making significant changes to the appearance of your teeth quickly over a period of 6 months. Most other orthodontic treatments involve a much greater time frame and so produce results at a much slower rate. In addition to being more time effective, 6 Month Smiles is also a more affordable treatment. Unlike major orthodontic treatment it is not hugely expensive but a cost that can be justified by the end results. It is aimed at improving the appearance of the teeth for people who want to make a small but overall significant change without incurring massive costs.
6 Month Smiles is a relatively new procedure that has been introduced from the USA. It was developed at an American dental practice by a dentist who realised that many people were reluctant to undergo orthodontic treatment because of they could not afford the time or expense, and did not wish to wear unsightly and uncomfortable braces. Prior to the development of treatments such as 6 Month Smiles the majority of patients at this dental practice were not willing to have orthodontic treatment. However, as a result of the introduction of an alternative procedure in the form of 6 Month Smiles this figure has changed so that the majority of patients are now keen for such procedures.
