Six Month Smiles® Clear Braces – Dayton Dentists Discuss the Fast, Discreet New Orthodontic Treatment
Drs. J. Otis Hurst and Amar Mistry say Six Month Smiles® can give patients a way to straighten the teeth and correct common orthodontic issues with greater comfort, less noticeability, and in much quicker time than traditional metal braces.
Dayton, OH – Advances in orthodontic technologies and treatment techniques have given many patients the opportunity to improve the appearance of crooked and crowded teeth, bite issues, and other problems without the need for noticeable metal braces on their teeth. One of those advances is the Six Month Smiles® treatment, and two general dentists in Dayton believe it’s a procedure that offers patients a variety of benefits as an alternative to traditional braces. Dr. J. Otis Hurst and Dr. Amar Mistry say Six Month Smiles® is one of the most innovative orthodontic techniques to come along in quite a while, and is becoming a popular treatment option at Preferred Family Dental.
The Six Month Smiles® cosmetic braces system is designed to move the teeth into a more desirable position using less force than traditional braces techniques. Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires made of biocompatible nickel titanium, Dr. Hurst says the braces offer patients greater comfort during the treatment process without sacrificing the efficacy of the procedure. Plus, he notes, the braces are less noticeable on the teeth, helping patients feel less self-conscious when they smile.
Dr. Hurst and Dr. Watwe say candidates for Six Month Smiles® include adults who are over the age of 16 and those who wish to straighten the teeth, close gaps and spaces, improve mild bite alignment problems, and address other common orthodontic issues. While the procedure may not be ideal for everyone, Dr. Hurst says most adults are candidates and the treatment can often serve as an alternative to Invisalign® for patients who have more severe signs of crowded or crooked teeth. He also notes that dental insurance policies that cover orthodontic treatments likely cover Six Month Smiles® as well.
Dr. Hurst and Dr. Watwe say the best way for individuals to find out if Six Month Smiles® is a good orthodontic option for their needs is to see a reputable dental professional who can evaluate their teeth and determine their candidacy. He says this treatment is indicative of some of the major advances in orthodontics that have been made over the years, helping patients more comfortably attain their goals while not having to hide their smiles from others.
