What Six Month Smiles treats
Six Month Smiles concentrates on the teeth in your smile line. If your concern is crowded, gapped, rotated or slightly protruding front teeth, this system moves them efficiently without attempting to reorganise your entire bite.
That focus is why treatment is measured in months rather than years. It also means it is not the right choice for every case — significant bite problems need conventional orthodontics or Invisalign, and we will say so at your consultation.
How discreet is it?
The brackets are clear and the wires are coated to match tooth colour, so from conversational distance the appliance is far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. It is fixed rather than removable, which suits patients who would rather not rely on their own discipline to wear aligners.
After treatment
Retention follows immediately after the brackets are removed. We will fit clear Essix or metal Hawley retainers at £100, and many patients follow with whitening or bonding once teeth are aligned — straightening first almost always produces a better cosmetic result.
Common questions
Six Month Smiles: your questions answered
Does Six Month Smiles really take six months?
Around six months is typical for the cases the system is designed for. Simpler cases can finish sooner and more complex ones take longer. We give you a realistic estimate at the free consultation rather than a marketing number.
Is Six Month Smiles cheaper than Invisalign?
It is usually less expensive because treatment is shorter and more targeted. We will quote your specific case at consultation, and 10% member discount applies to most general treatment.
Will it fix my bite?
No. Six Month Smiles is a cosmetic alignment system for the visible teeth. If your bite needs correcting, Invisalign or traditional fixed braces are the appropriate options.
