What Is Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles is an orthodontic alternative that can benefit adults who want a cosmetic improvement as quickly as possible. Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, this treatment method focuses on aligning the front teeth that are on display when you smile.

The Six Month Smiles Process A Treatment Timeline

Treatment may be completed in as little as four months and will require no longer than nine months.

Consultation

During your initial consultation at any of our offices in the greater Jackson area, one of our dentists will examine your bite and ask questions about your aesthetic goals. If you and the doctor agree that Six Month Smiles is right for you, the doctor will provide an estimate of how long you will need to wear the clear braces.

Impressions

To begin Six Month Smiles orthodontic treatment, we create a precise impression of your bite that will be used to fabricate your custom brackets in a specialized lab. Creation of the brackets should only take a few weeks.

Braces Placement

Once your custom brackets and wires are completed, you will return to our office. At this appointment, one of our dentists will place your braces and tooth-colored wires to exact specifications to ensure optimal results.

Wearing the Braces

Over the next four to nine months, you will return to our office every four or five weeks so we can tighten the wires and monitor your progress. As with any orthodontia, some soreness is to be expected after the wires are tightened, but discomfort is generally manageable with over-the-counter medication.

Noticeable Results

You will begin to see results very quickly as your teeth move steadily into symmetrical alignment.

Braces Removal

At the end of your treatment period, our dentists will remove the brackets and wires to reveal your straighter, more beautiful smile.

Maintaining Your Results

In order to maintain the results of Six Month Smiles, follow all instructions provided by our dentists, and also:
