Six Month Smiles uses clear braces and specialized techniques to straighten teeth quickly in only six months. The treatment focuses on moving the front teeth and uses tooth-colored brackets and wires that are barely visible. Most adults are candidates if they want to correct crooked or spaced teeth without major bite alterations. The process involves making molds, customizing a patient tray kit, and precisely bonding brackets during a single appointment followed by monthly adjustments.

o
only six months?

use of special nickel titanium wires and a
primary focus of moving the teeth that show
when you smile.

4. Who is a
candidate?
 If you are an adult (15 years and older) with
crooked or spaced teeth and you're not looking
for a major alteration to your bite, this could be
the solution for you!

5. The advantage…
 Six Month Smiles
dentists use tooth-
colored braces that are
barely visible.
 The wires are tooth-
colored as well. These
are nothing like metal
braces!

 Once you have
decided to get 6
month smiles,
molds are made and
sent off to the lab to
create the the
bracket bonding
trays.

7. Patient Tray Kit
 You receive your
patient tray kit on the
appointment when
braces are placed.
 This is customized for
each patient and has
all of the materials you
will need to treat each
particular patient.
This includes Six Month Smiles
brackets and wires as well as extra
ligatures and other materials.

8. Placing the braces
 The brackets are precisely
positioned on models by bracket
technicians and included in
bracket bonding trays to ensure
quick, predictable and delegable
placement of the braces on the
patients teeth.
 The only procedure part consists
of placing bonding material on
the back of each bracket for one
quadrant at a time, and then
curing each bracket.

9. Follow up appointments…
 After your braces are placed, you will visit
your dentist once a month for adjustments.
