Are You a Candidate for Six Month Smiles® Clear Braces?

Posted on February 16, 2015 in Practice News, Six Month SMiles

Six Month Smiles® is one of the most innovative orthodontic treatments available. Utilizing an advanced design, Six Month Smiles® is able to gently correct a variety of teeth misalignment issues in about six months – whereas traditional braces can take as much as two years or more to accomplish many of the same goals. Even better: Six Month Smiles® is composed of clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, making the braces much less noticeable on the teeth.

Here at Preferred Family Dental, our experienced general dentists can evaluate your teeth and determine if you are a candidate for Six Month Smiles®. This procedure is often a good option for patients who have:

• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Spaces and gaps between the teeth
• Issues with bite alignment
• More severe orthodontic issues for which other discreet orthodontic treatments, such as Invisalign®, may not be able to correct

Patients must also be 16 years or older to have Six Month Smiles® treatment, and individuals who require significant bite alteration may not be candidates. Although most adults are candidates for this procedure, Dr. J. Otis Hurst and Dr. Amar Mistry can recommend alternative options for those who are not.

The best way to find out if you are a candidate for Six Month Smiles® is to come in for a comprehensive oral evaluation. Once our general dentist has determined this treatment is the best option for your individual needs and goals, we will create a customized treatment plan designed to provide you with straighter teeth and a more beautiful smile in about six months!
