Six Month Smiles

The 6 Month Smiles technique employs the latest technology to move your teeth quickly and safely. The key components of the treatments are the use of special nickel titanium wires and a primary focus on moving only the teeth that show when you smile.

No! 6 Month Smiles dentists use tooth coloured braces that are barely visible. The wires are tooth coloured as well. These are nothing like metal braces.

6 Month Smiles braces use low force to move teeth more comfortably. Many people think that the accelerated treatment means simply "tightening" regular braces to get the teeth moving, but that is not true. 6 Month Smiles utilises standard orthodontic mechanics, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.

There are no more risks of root damage or other tissues than those associated with traditional orthodontics. Since the forces used with 6 Month Smiles braces are lighter and teeth are seldom extracted, there are actually even fewer risks involved with 6 Month Smiles orthodontics.

If you don’t want to wear a removable retainer you can have a bonded retainer placed. There are a variety of options you can choose from according to your preference and situation.

Yes. We also offer Invisalign and Quick Straight Teeth cosmetic systems. Following your initial consultation the dentist will advise which system would be most suitable for you. If comprehensive orthodontic treatment is required we can refer you to a specialist orthodontist.
