Dentist near Asheville, NC describes the benefits of Six Month Smiles clear braces

Patients near Asheville, NC who are interested in rejuvenating their smile and addressing misalignment that may have been bothering them for years are often interested in learning about alternatives to conventional orthodontics. The idea of covering the smile with metal brackets and wires is often a huge turnoff to patients who truly want to rejuvenate the way they look. Instead, they want to learn about clear braces, a less "unsightly" solution.

Dr. Christopher Port and the team of the Asheville Smile Center work together with patients to determine if they are appropriate candidates for clear braces such as Six Month Smiles. Six Month Smiles is gaining popularity as patients are realizing how amazing this method of orthodontia can be. Six Month Smiles are often called clear braces because the brackets and wires used are tooth-colored and provide a much more discreet method of treatment versus conventional braces. The idea is the same—the brackets hold the wires which provide gentle repositioning of the teeth. However, Six Month Smiles comes with many other benefits.

Six Month Smiles uses self-ligating wires which can provide faster results. These wires gradually move the teeth into better alignment with the care and attention of a professional. Dr. Christopher Port can help patients through this journey of achieving a more beautiful smile without the need for many months—or years—of traditional braces.

Six Month Smiles is also discreet. Many patients avoid traditional orthodontics because of the metal brackets and wires which can be embarrassing, especially for adult patients in high-powered careers and positions in which they speak face-to-face with clients and coworkers. The wires and brackets used with Six Month Smiles are tooth-colored, allowing them to blend in better with the smile throughout treatment while still providing effective results.

Dr. Christopher Port is excited to offer Six Month Smiles to patients who are unhappy with the idea of working with a traditional orthodontist and covering their smile with unattractive wires and brackets for many months. At the Asheville Smile Center, we can determine if patients are appropriate candidates for treatment and can benefit from this particular solution for misalignment.
