[Glasgow, 05/09/2017] Many adults are looking for more than just teeth straightening when they decide to get braces. They also want something that doesn’t dominate their mouths and works quickly and efficiently. That’s why Six Month Smiles is such a popular treatment at Park Orthodontics.

What is Six Month Smiles?

At Park Orthodontics, Six Month Smiles is a braces system based on tried and tested teeth straightening mechanics that have been around for decades. Although the mechanics of Six Month Smiles is the same as always, the actual materials have been updated and the mechanics are applied in a different way.

Six Month Smiles uses much smaller brackets that are made of clear ceramic. At Park Orthodontics, these are stringed together with Six Month Smiles tooth-coloured wire. Together brackets and wire blend in with the teeth rather than overwhelming them.

The reason Six Month Smiles at Park Orthodontics is able to use smaller braces is that this system is designed to move the front 6 social teeth only. These are the teeth that people see the most others are talking and smiling. These teeth have only 1 or 2 roots, as opposed to 3 roots, as the back molars have. Fewer roots means less force required for movement. It also means that the Park OrthodonticsSix Month Smiles system can move the teeth more quickly than traditional braces, with an average time of only 6 months rather than 2 or 3 years.

This is the ideal system for adults who are embarrassed by their misaligned teeth, but do not have serious issues with their bite that Park Orthodontics would need to correct.

When patients come to Park Orthodontics for Six Month Smiles, they will only treat them with this system if it is the right one for the patient. Six Month Smiles is designed to make small movements on the front teeth only. Park Orthodontics uses over 40 years of experience to make sure patients receive the best treatment possible for their needs.
