Six Month Smiles for Adults
It’s never too late to improve your smile. That's why adult orthodontics in Healdsburg CA gives you the advantage of straightening your teeth through 6 Month Smiles. Your age is not a factor as long as the bone and gum tissue surrounding your teeth are healthy. Many adult patients obtain orthodontics treatment and are delighted with the results because they can straighten their teeth in a short period of time.
Six Month Smiles falls under the category of fixed braces and are discreet because they contain tooth colored brackets and wires. It is an orthodontic braces system that focuses on straightening only the front six to eight teeth, or more specifically, only the teeth that show when you smile. This means the treatment is much faster than conventional orthodontics, which focuses on all of your teeth. As the name suggests, Six Month Smiles is a quick procedure, with most results achieved in six to nine months.
During your initial consultation, we will examine your mouth and may take some photographs and x-rays. We will then discuss with you the likely outcomes, timeframes and possible problems you may experience during the treatment. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have and discuss the costs of your Six Month Smiles treatment.
The Six Month Smiles braces are attached to the teeth using special dental glue. The brackets and wires are tooth-colored and barely noticeable, making this a discreet and painless way of regaining a confident smile.
The position of your teeth will alter rapidly over a number of months, meaning that you will need regular check-ups. Your braces will need to be adjusted every five to six weeks. Once your treatment is finished and your teeth have moved to their final position you will be given a retainer, which is either a removable appliance to be worn at night or a thin wire fitted to the back of your teeth. A retainer ensures that your teeth do not move back into their previous position.
