Gone are the days of waiting two to three years to attain the smile of your dreams. That is typically the treatment length of traditional metal braces. However, thanks to advances in dentistry and orthodontics, patients can attain straighter smiles in just 6 months. Another benefit is during treatment it is unlikely anyone will notice the brackets and wires. The name of this innovative orthodontic treatment is Six Month Smiles. It is available to patients in Hendersonville, NC and beyond at Family Dental Health of South Asheville. Highly respected dentist Dr. Christopher Port is happy to provide reviews of Six Months Smiles.
In contrast to traditional orthodontics, Six Months Smiles is designed for the teeth that show when smiling. The treatment is not for malocclusion or misaligned teeth in the back of the mouth. However, it can be ideal for patients who are preparing for reunions or weddings. Dr. Port and our team use Six Month Smiles to treat mildly to moderately misaligned, crowded, or overlapping teeth.
Gently moving the teeth into proper positions, the emphasis is placed on the appearance of smiles. The brackets are clear and the wires are designed to match the natural color of patients’ teeth. Treatment can last four to nine months, but typically six months. Patients 16 and older enjoy many benefits of Six Month Smiles.
To determine your candidacy for Six Month Smiles, we will examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. We will review your medical history and take impressions of your dental arches. We send these molds to the Six Month Smiles laboratory where customized kits are created. These ensure proper placement of the brackets. Once the kits arrive, we will place the brackets and wires on your teeth.
Over the years, we have noticed that beautiful smiles are confident smiles. Patients are more inclined to laugh and socialize when they love their smiles. Six Month Smiles may be the treatment you need to go after the job you have always wanted or look your best on your wedding day.
