Six Month Smiles in Miami

What is Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles is an innovative orthodontic treatment that aims to straighten teeth and improve the patient’s smile in a relatively short period of time, typically around six months. This treatment uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to gently move teeth into the desired position. Six Month Smiles is an ideal option for those who have mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues and want to achieve a straighter smile in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, Six Month Smiles brackets are designed to be comfortable and nearly invisible, which means that the patient can go about their daily activities with confidence, knowing that their braces are discreet and won’t detract from their smile.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles

  • Lower cost: Compared to other orthodontic treatments, Six Month Smiles may be a more cost-effective option due to the shorter treatment time and the fact that it only focuses on the visible teeth in the patient’s smile.

The process of Six Month Smiles Treatment

Smiles
  1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, Dr. Flores will examine the patient’s teeth and determine if they are a good candidate for Six Month Smiles. They will also discuss the patient’s goals and expectations for the treatment.

  2. Treatment planning: If the patient is a good candidate for Six Month Smiles, the dentist or orthodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs. This may involve taking X-rays, photographs, and impressions of the teeth.

  3. Fitting of braces: Once the treatment plan is in place, the dentist or orthodontist will fit the patient with clear brackets and tooth-colored wires. The brackets will be attached to the teeth using a special bonding agent, and the wires will be secured to the brackets using small elastics.

  4. Adjustments: During the course of the treatment, the patient will need to visit the dentist or orthodontist regularly for adjustments to the braces. These adjustments will help to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.

  5. Removal of braces: After around six months, the braces will be removed and the patient will be fitted with a retainer to help maintain the new position of the teeth.
