Of the many brands of orthodontic treatment offered by Kent dentists, 6 Month Smiles is one that is relatively new and growing fast as a dental job. Essentially similar to conventional wire and metal braces, there are a couple of changes to the system which make 6 Month Smiles a unique product.
The first and most obvious difference is the appearance of the braces, which rather than being metallic are coloured to blend in with teeth. This doesn’t make them quite as hard to spot as the clear Invisalign aligners, but certainly makes them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Secondly, there is the time period for treatment, the name gives you a clue as to the rough time you can expect to be wearing the braces for which is far less than the up to three years which may be necessary with normal orthodontic braces. This is because this dental treatment focuses on aligning only those teeth which show when you smile, rather than adjusting your full set of teeth, it is specifically geared towards cosmetic alteration rather than being concerned with the complete correction of any and all misaligned teeth.
The reduced time and amount of work taking place mean that 6 Month Smiles tends to cost roughly half what you might expect to pay for more extensive treatments like traditional braces or Invisalign treatment. Though, you should care to manage your oral health to ward off the need for treatment like root canals which can affect the workings of braces.
So with roughly one appointment a month for six months you could have a more attractive smile without the obtrusiveness or cost of full orthodontic correction.
