Your smile is one of the first things that people notice and remember about you. If your smile is not leaving the impression that you want it to, you may be a good candidate for Six Month Smiles. A modern approach to traditional orthodontic treatment, Six Month Smiles uses the tried and true technology of orthodontics combined with a cosmetic approach to fit your lifestyle.

Many orthodontic candidates above the age of 16 can find success with Six Month Smiles. This orthodontic technology is designed specifically for those with crooked or spaced teeth but who do not need to have a major alteration to their bite. Six Month Smiles provides shorter overall treatment time, making the entire process of having your teeth put in proper alignment more comfortable, convenient, and less expensive than traditional braces. At Pure Dental Health, we are proud to offer this orthodontic treatment to teens and adults.

Many adults feel that they are too old for braces. They have a difficult time seeing past the “metal hardware” of traditional braces, and they are convinced that they must simply go through life with a smile that they are unhappy with. However, Six Month Smiles offers a visually appealing approach to orthodontics. In fact, the brackets that are used with Six Month Smiles are virtually invisible so that people will barely notice that you are even wearing them! Six Month Smiles uses Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and Chameleon® tooth-colored wires while your teeth are being straightened as a part of their revolutionary technology. This “invisible treatment” alone is enough to make many people jump at the chance to gain straighter teeth.

Another added benefit of Six Month Smiles is that the average treatment time is only six months! Adults and older teens often do not have two to four years to devote to their orthodontic treatment. College, work, travel, and life are too busy to worry about orthodontics for years. Six Month Smiles provides the convenience that you are looking for to work with your busy life, not against it.

Brackets and adjustable wires have been used for decades to straighten people’s teeth into their desired positions. This is the most effective method for moving the teeth effectively and safely, while also encouraging the teeth to stay in their new positions. With the use of low force, your smile can be transformed into one that you are proud to show off confidently. Six Month Smiles focuses on the placement of the teeth that are visible when you smile. This reduces the amount of force that is used during orthodontic treatment, and this low force actually means that teeth seldom need to be extracted before or during treatment. This is a huge benefit from traditional braces, which often require a more invasive approach to straightening the teeth and moving them around inside the mouth.

Even during your treatment process, you will not feel the need to hide your smile. Traditional metal brackets and wires can have a negative social impact on wearers. Metal against the natural color of your teeth is hard to hide, meaning that you may feel embarrassed or self-conscious in both your professional and personal lives. Yet, with the cosmetic approach used with Six Month Smiles, you will enjoy the “invisibility” of your braces as they move into their beautiful positions.

As with all orthodontic treatments, you will be required to wear a retainer once your braces are removed in order to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. There are different options available for retainers, the two most popular being a removable retainer or a bonded retainer that is placed on the back surface of the teeth. Retainers hold the teeth in their new places so that they will not shift back into their old positions. Retainers are essential after your orthodontic treatment has been completed. Many people find that they will require another round of orthodontics when they do not wear their retainers regularly – a huge disappointment after the investment of their time and money.

At Pure Dental Health, Dr. Justin Scott offers an outstanding option for adults in Atlanta who desire to have a straighter, more beautiful smile.
