Braces aren’t for everyone, and adults especially are put off by the idea of wearing them for an extended period of time.
Not only can it be embarrassing getting food stuck in them, but it can completely lower someone’s confidence in social situations, during a meeting at work and on dates.
Luckily, the 6-month smile Reading treatment can close gaps and straighten out teeth in less than a year. And the best part is, you’ll barely notice them!
About 6-month smiles
Using fixed braces, the teeth are straightened over a period of 6 months.
Due to the tooth-coloured appearance and state-of-the-art bracket system, there is minimal friction and pain, making them a much more comfortable option – compared to traditional braces.
The barely there look and feel means 6-month smiles are convenient, safe and easy to clean and maintain.
How are 6-month smiles possible?
Focusing only on the visible teeth, 6-month smiles don’t make changes to your bite or jaw structure, but they have the power to improve your smile cosmetically with just a few small tweaks.
Benefits of teeth straightening
Improving the look of teeth can have many benefits, including:
- Increased confidence
- Improved speech
- Make eating easier
These benefits combined can improve the overall quality of a patient’s life, with many noticing an improvement in their professional, social and romantic relationships as a result.
6-month smile eligibility
When it comes to teeth straightening, there are a few options available, based on what the patient wants to achieve and the current state of their teeth, jaw and gums. Because of this, not everyone is suitable for the 6-month smile treatment Reading we offer.
The treatment is solely for minor adjustments in the front of the mouth – the teeth that show when you smile.
For more specialist orthodontic work, longer treatments with fixed braces will be more beneficial.
The only way to find out if a 6-month smile is possible for you is to book a consultation with an expert.
Here at Gipsy Lane Advanced Dental Care, Dr Eety Jain is our resident 6-month smile expert and has been building on her skills and experience since 2006. Dedicated to spending her time expanding her knowledge of new techniques, she regularly treats patients looking to improve their smiles and confidence.
The road to a straighter smile
Most patients think that getting their dream smile is a lengthy process to get started, but this isn’t the case.
After your initial consultation, you’ll undergo a full checkup and your teeth will be X-rayed and photographed. We also carry out an Itero AI Smile Simulation during your consultation to show before and after results. You’ll then have the chance to talk to your dentist about the look you’d like to achieve before being deemed acceptable for a 6-month smile – if not, you will be given some suitable alternatives.
The tooth-coloured wires and brackets will then be fitted to your current smile, helping you to achieve your dream smile.
To finish off your treatment and make sure the results last, your dentist will fit a permanent retainer behind the teeth to keep them in position and prevent movement as much as possible.
6-month smile braces have to be adjusted and tightened regularly, but far less regularly than traditional braces. This is simply to apply force where and when required and how often this needs to be done will be discussed with your dentist.
