Is It Possible to Straighten Teeth in Half a Year?

Most people already know that orthodontic treatments take at least one or two years to complete. But now, thanks to the continuous advancements in dentistry, people can have straighter teeth in as fast as six months! Thanks to the availability of Six Month Smiles.

What is Six Month Smiles?

As its name implies, it is a type of orthodontic approach that straightens teeth in an average of six months. Aside from having a shorter treatment time, Six Month Smiles differs from traditional braces by being:

• Less noticeable. Instead of metal, Six Month Smiles use clear or tooth-colored materials for the brackets and wires.
• More hygienic. Since the treatment time is shorter, the risk of developing complications due to plaque and bacteria buildup, as well as foods getting stuck on the teeth and appliance is lesser.
• More affordable. Aside from being hygiene friendly, the short duration of wearing the orthodontic appliance makes its cost much less than traditional braces.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the Treatment?

Most adults are good candidates for Six Month Smiles, especially those people who experience teeth rotations, extrusions, intrusions, or tripping. Other issues that can be corrected by the treatment includes overbites, open bites, diastemas, spacings, overcrowding, crooked, and overlapping teeth.

If a patient is not too familiar with these terms, the best way for them to know if they are qualified is to book an initial consultation with us at Liberty Lake Smile Source. By doing so, our dentist can determine if the dental issues affecting a particular patient can be fixed through Six Month Smiles.

How Does the Procedure Work?

After knowing if a patient is a candidate, a treatment plan will be formulated based on their preferences and needs. Once the braces are, the patient would need to schedule an appointment for its placement.

During the first month, patients would notice that their teeth are already moving to their ideal places. From the first to the fifth month, adjustments would be performed to make sure that the teeth will continuously straighten. In the sixth month, this is the time when braces finish up with the alignment of the teeth before the dentist removes the orthodontic appliance for good.
