Here are some frequently asked questions by people who are interested in the 6 month smile process

Q: How can my teeth be straightened in just six months?

A: The Six Month Smiles technique uses the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to shift your teeth quickly and safely. The key components of the process is the use of special nickel titanium tooth colored wires and focus on moving the teeth that show when you smile.

Q: Six months sounds great, but will I still have a mouth full of metal showing the whole time?

A: No, Absolutely not! The 6 Month Smiles system use tooth-colored braces that are barely visible. The wires are tooth-colored as well. These are nothing like metal braces used by other systems

Q: Are Six Month Smiles braces more comfortable to wear than regular braces?

A: 6 Month Smiles braces use low force to change the position of the teeth more comfortably. Many people think that the accelerated process means “tightening” regular braces to get the teeth moving, however that is not true. 6 Month Smiles utilizes standard orthodontic methods, but with an emphasis on the eshtetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.

Q: Can 6 Month Smiles braces damage the teeth, roots, or gum tissue?

A: There are no more risks of root damage or other issues than those associated with traditional orthodontics. Since the forces used with 6 Month Smiles braces are much lighter and teeth are seldom removed, there are actually even fewer risks involved with 6 Month Smiles braces.

Q: Will I have to wear a retainer afterwards?

A: Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer will be necessary to maintain the straightest position of your teeth. If you don’t want to wear a removable retainer, you can have a bonded retainer placed on the inside of the teeth. This retainer does not show and is very easy to get used to. There are a variety of options to choose from according to your personal preference and situation.

Q: What's the catch?

A: There is no catch. If you are an adult (18 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you're not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this may be the solution you have been looking for! Most adults ARE candidates for Six Month Smiles.
