What is Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wiring. It is suitable for patients over the age of 16, and it works in roughly six months to perfectly align and correct your smile’s placement. Whether you have never been in braces before or if you’ve had orthodontic work done in the past, Six Month Smiles is a great alternative to some other options. Treatment is quick, simple and highly effective in terms of correcting your smile and bite.

You might need Six Month Smiles if your teeth are crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced. The treatment involves applying clear brackets to the teeth and a tooth-colored wire that adjusts your teeth over the course of the next six months. The system is virtually invisible to the naked eye. It is most suitable for older teens and adults who need quick, effective orthodontic treatment.
