Six Month Smiles Essex

There are many benefits for the Six Month Smiles braces system:

• Average treatment time of 6 months
• Six Month Smiles Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires are barely visible
• Cosmetic clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires
• Less invasive approach compared with veneers and crowns
• Comfortable and safe treatment
• Allow you to maintain good hygiene
• Cheaper than a specialist or clear aligner treatment

The braces when attached are hardly noticeable and very easy on the eye. They are very closely matched to the natural shade of teeth.

These newer orthodontic systems use special wires and bracket designs to safely move teeth faster than older, more conventional systems. The increased speed makes treatment more efficient however maintains safety.

These systems – Six Month Smiles and Quick Straight Teeth – are mainly focused on improving your smile, i.e. cosmetic concerns. This is partly why treatment is quicker as correcting the back teeth and your bite is more complex, time-consuming and often referred to a Specialist Orthodontist.

Most patients report very little pain or discomfort as the teeth move gently.

Retainers are essential after successfully completing your orthodontic treatment. Retainers will keep your teeth in their straightened position and avoid relapse (teeth moving back to their original position). We offer fixed or removable retainers and often recommend both where possible. Failure to wear your retainer will likely result in relapse.

We only provide braces treatment for patients above 18 years old. Generally, we only aim to improve the smile and manage more cosmetic concerns. If you require bite correction or more complex/advanced straightening treatment, we may decide to work with a local Specialist Orthodontist.
