What are six months smiles?

Six months smile is a quick and effective alternative to conventional braces; they are becoming a recent treatment process in the field of orthodontics, focused towards moving the teeth into better alignment position within 6 months, by utilising clear braces for the treatment procedure. The treatment is specifically more suitable for patients interested in a shorter treatment period.

Who should consider a six-month smile orthodontic braces

Most adults are good candidates for six-month smiles, especially patients with extrusions, rotations, intrusions or tipping. However below are common issues that can be easily rectified with a six months smile;

• Crowding: crowding occurs in the teeth when there is disharmony in the tooth to jaw size relationship or when the teeth are larger than the available space.
• Spacing: dental or tooth spacing is a very complicated but simple complication which requires technical knowledge about the different types of spacing and the required treatment plan. Tooth Spacing generally occurs when there are unnatural gaps between the teeth.
• Overbite: overbite is often caused by the excessive protrusion of the upper jaw, or an underbite when the lower jaw protrudes forward causing the lower jaw and teeth to extend out beyond the upper teeth.
• Underbite: a dental underbite is a term for a dental condition usually characterised by lower teeth which may extend outward farther than the upper front teeth.
• Crossbite: a crossbite is a form of malocclusion where a tooth or a set of teeth has a more lingual position than its corresponding antagonist tooth in the upper or lower dental arch. In other words, it is generally referred to as a lateral misalignment of the dental arches.
• Open bite: an openbite is simply referred to a dental situation, where teeth do not come together in a bite
• Overjet: a dental overjet is often confused with an overbite. It occurs when there is a general protruding of the front teeth.

We are often asked questions regarding how feasible it is for your teeth to get straightened within six months. However, with the incorporation of cutting edge technology into the field of orthodontics, coupled with experienced orthodontics professionals and a community of dentists all over the world, your smile can be easily revitalised within six months. Nevertheless, the procedure has exploited the benefits of other treatment procedure, by utilising clear wires and braces, primarily focused towards moving the set of teeth that are displayed when you smile.

What are the treatment procedures?

The treatment will normally follow the following process below:

• Consultation: as ever, every orthodontics treatment starts with a visit to your dentist in order to ensure you are a perfect candidate for a six-month smile.
• Teeth impressions are taken: during this process, your teeth impressions will be thoroughly checked and taken, with x-rays, intraoral and facial photographs of your teeth. More so, you can have a discussion with your dentist with regards to how you would like your teeth to appear and how much of an improvement is required.
• Impressions are sent off to the laboratory: your teeth impressions are taken and sent off to a lab for your clear customarily made braces.
• Customised braces are made: after the models have been calculated and impressions have been taken, your orthodontist will use the models and impressions to create clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires needed to fix your dental issues.
• Fitting the braces: the next step is to fit in the braces, which are tooth coloured and barely noticed. In some cases, space needed to relieve crowding is created, by polishing between the teeth or by removing a tooth, to create sufficient space. You will also need to return to your dentist for retightening at least every four to five weeks to keep the teeth in position.
• Retainers fitted: removable or fixed retainers are fixed to the teeth to guard against the teeth moving back to its pre-treatment position.
