Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear adult metal braces for years or they are concerned that other corrective teeth straightening procedures could be too invasive or too expensive.
K2 Dental have introduced a treatment that’s effective, safe and affordable. It’s called “Six Month Smiles” and it is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment which can straighten teeth in just six months.
Quite understandably, crooked teeth make many people feel self-conscious, reserved, or even ashamed of their appearance.
There are various solutions to treat crooked teeth but most take between 18 months to 3 years to achieve results using conventional orthodontic treatment or clear braces. However, the Six Month Smile solution can give you the smile that you want in a fraction of the time taken with conventional treatments, without the need for old-fashioned, bulky metal braces.
The Six Month Smile brace is essentially a system of clear wires and brackets that gently straightens teeth. This is done by focusing only on the teeth that show when you smile.
After your initial examination where we will assess your general dental health and suitability for Six Month Smiles we’ll provide a written treatment plan complete with costs.
For your first Six Month Smile appointment we will fit your new brace. Over the course of the next six months we’ll meet with you a few times to make the necessary adjustments and discuss how you’re getting on.
Upon completion of the treatment we’ll carefully remove the brace and supply you with a retainer to be worn at your leisure to help maintain your new smile.
The solution has been designed using the latest technology. The braces are constructed from a special form of nickel and titanium which enable the teeth to move into the correct position quickly and without causing any pain or discomfort. The Six Month Smiles system has been designed to treat patients with minor orthodontic problems relating specifically to the teeth which are visible when you smile. This means the brace focuses only on the front teeth thus reducing treatment time.
Six Month Smiles is more suitable for orthodontic problems at the front of the mouth, where teeth are more noticeable. For more complex orthodontic problems or issues which affect the back teeth you may be offered an alternative option.
Initially you may experience some mild pain and discomfort. However, this should soon wear off as you start to get used to the braces. Pain relief medication will ease the pain and make you feel more comfortable.
We advise all orthodontic patients to wear a retainer for a period of time after treatment to ensure the teeth are held in the correct position and to reduce the risk of relapse.
Like any brace, you may find that your speech is mildly affected by wearing braces. However, this will soon subside and you will be able to speak normally.
