What are the benefits of receiving Six Month Smiles in Essex?

There are many advantages to having Six Month Smiles as your chosen dental treatment, and we’d like to take you through a few of these to give you a good idea of the benefits that you may be receiving after beginning to undergo treatment with us.

Traditional metal braces have been present within the field of dental care for a multitude of years; they have, therefore, been deemed as extremely successful when resolving some of the most severe dental cases. Despite their success however many patients are now looking for a more rapid and discreet orthodontic alternative. The Six Month Smiles system concentrates on the front teeth and is therefore faster to gain results. The nickel titanium wires used in this fixed appliance are subtle as they can be tooth coloured too, therefore having less obvious impact on appearance during treatment.

Why choose our dental clinic to receive your orthodontic dental treatment?

Located within Essex, we not only place our patients’ oral health at the forefront of our minds at all times, however we also have a wide variety of cosmetic, orthodontic, and preventive dental care available for our patients. Unlike many other dental clinics, we not only offer a variety of more conventional orthodontic appliances as well as those that are newer, but we also work to evaluate your goals and lifestyle factors to help choose the right orthodontic treatment for your individual dental case.

Have you ever wanted to straighten your teeth but were not feeling confident enough to tackle the huge undertaking that this kind of treatment appears to be? The cost, the length of time and the discomfort can all be factors that lead us to put it off for another time.

Thankfully, there has been a massive surge in the amount of different devices that have become available in the past years that gives those of us who have misaligned teeth or an incorrect bite the opportunity to streamline our treatment in order to directly achieve the results that we are looking for.

Traditional braces are brilliant and still in common use today. However, for cases that are not so severe but rather cosmetic in essence, they can be full of unnecessary features that are, if anything, cumbersome to the job at hand. By speaking with a dentist about the specific devices that will benefit your personal situation, you may very well be pleasantly surprised at the way in which we can help you to achieve the smile of your dreams quite effortlessly.

One such device is Six Month Smiles in Essex. This treatment is known to take the best of braces and streamlines the procedure to enable it to be completed in a matter of months, as the name suggests.

How does this treatment work?

Six Month Smiles in Essex works like a fixed device, with brackets being attached to the front of your teeth and wires are attached to these brackets to move your teeth over time into their correct position.

The unique aspect of Six Month Smiles in Essex lies in the wires. They have a kind of memory and gradually shift back into this original position after being placed into a crooked alignment to attach to the brackets on your misaligned teeth. This movement takes at most 6 months to complete, hence the promise that comes with the name.

This consistent and gradual movement is a lot more gentle than sporadically tightening wires like dentists must do with more traditional devices or when changing from one removable device to the next stage. Because there is no need to go in to see one of our professionals during your teeth straightening journey, you can benefit from a more independent experience, perfect for those individuals who are working and find it difficult to find time to get off work to come into our practice.

Because they are fixed, the issue with motivation that is commonly seen in those wearing removable aligners is eliminated as well. We find that this treatment really does enable the best of the many different treatments out there and allows you to quickly and effectively complete your teeth straightening transformation and to happily move forward with your life.

So many people delay getting themselves this opportunity of a lifetime, to perfect their smile and allow it to be healthier and more confident. We would love to be able to speak with you about how straightening your teeth with a convenient and fast system such as this one can make a difference to your physical and emotional health.

What are Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles in Essex has an average treatment time of just six months, using the very latest technologies and techniques. The Lucid-Lok uses clear brackets and tooth coloured braces, resulting in a barely visible look. The discomfort is usually minimal and the cost is less than traditional braces, veneers, or aligner therapy.

How does it work?

The Six Month Smiles technique uses special nickel titanium wires, applying a low pressure force to move teeth more comfortably. Its focus is primarily on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite. You still wear a retainer, as with any treatment for aligning teeth, which will aid in straightening your smile. However, if you don’t wish to wear a removable retainer, then you can opt for a bonded retainer. It all depends on your level of comfort and preferences.

In what situations may I need Six Month Smiles?

Teeth straightening can visibly improve the appearance of your smile, resulting in a more confident and healthier set of teeth. Crooked teeth, or tooth gaps can be problematic for both chewing and feeling confident. Six Month Smiles in Essex can help you to achieve a smile that you can feel confident in and proud of.

Why choose Six Month Smiles?

Braces are proven to have the most consistent and predictable results when it comes to straightening teeth. The traditional braces – ‘train-tracks’ – have a similar result, but they also mean that you have a visible strip of metal for the duration of your treatment. The average treatment lasts six months; however, we typically say that the duration can be between four and nine months, depending on your situation.

For this period, you would have a visible strip of metal using traditional braces. However, with Six Month Smiles, the clear brackets and tooth coloured braces mean that the braces are barely visible. You can go about your day with more confidence, attend meetings, school, or go to the office, safe in the knowledge that the braces are working in the background, but are almost undetectable.

Six Month Smiles are generally cheaper options, as discussed, meaning that not only can you get the smile you desire without the look of metal across your teeth, but you can achieve a better, more confident smile at an affordable price, with minimum fuss.
