What Are Six Month Smiles® Clear Braces?
Six Month Smiles® is a process that allows us to shift your teeth to better positions in roughly six months. The treatment relies on clear braces that consist of transparent brackets and tooth-colored wires. Generally speaking, Six Month Smiles® is recommended to correct minor aesthetic issues, such as teeth that are slightly crooked or spaced too far apart.
How Does the Six Month Smiles® Process Work?
After we have confirmed that you are a viable candidate for Six Month Smiles®, we will carefully plan your treatment to make the desired orthodontic corrections. The clear brackets will be carefully attached to your teeth, after which they will be connected with thin wires. The brackets and wires will constantly put small amounts of pressure on your teeth in order to gradually guide them toward better positions.
Throughout the process, you’ll periodically return to our office so that we can adjust your wires and make sure that your teeth are moving as intended. Once your orthodontic goals have been achieved, we will remove your clear braces and give you a retainer to ensure that your teeth stay in their new positions.
Benefits of Six Month Smiles® Clear Braces
There are several advantages of choosing Six Month Smiles® to straighten your teeth:
- Faster Results: Traditional braces often need to be worn for about two to three years. The Six Month Smiles® process takes significantly less time.
- A More Discreet Treatment: Compared to traditional metal braces, clear braces are much less noticeable, which can help you feel more confident about showing off your smile during the orthodontic process.
- Improved Comfort: Many patients find that clear braces tend to be more comfortable than traditional braces.
Caring for Your Clear Braces
To keep the Six Month Smiles® process on track and maintain excellent oral health throughout your treatment, we will give you tips for taking care of your clear braces at home. Here are some of the steps you’ll need to follow:
- Continue to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Be sure to remove any food debris that may be clinging to your brackets and wires.
- Use dental floss to clean the area under your braces' wires.
- Stay away from hard or crunchy foods that might damage your braces. You should also make a point of avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages that could stain your brackets.
