Please contact us today to find out more about the Six Month Smiles® braces technique.
A New Way of Straightening Your Teeth
Traditional braces have been an effective method of straightening patients' teeth for decades. However, there are significant drawbacks to wearing braces. Metal braces can be uncomfortable, can make you self-conscious every time you smile, and often take at least a year or two to have the desired effect.
Six Month Smiles® is an orthodontic treatment that can cut the time it takes to straighten your teeth by half, or even more. The braces themselves are clear and less noticeable, and the technology uses less force to move the teeth, which can make the process more comfortable.
There are numerous benefits to having your teeth straightened with the Six Month Smiles® technique, including:
- Less time between placement and removal of the braces, usually only six months
- Clear braces and tooth-colored wires
- Less force used by the braces while shifting the teeth into straighter position, helping you experience greater comfort
- Typically less expensive than orthodontic treatment with traditional braces or aligner therapy
The Six Month Smiles® technique aims to give you less treatment time, greater comfort, and treatment that is less noticeable than metal braces.
How the Six Month Smiles® Technique Works
Advanced technology in dentistry and orthodontics makes it possible for the Six Month Smiles® technique to straighten your teeth in less than half the time it takes for traditional methods. Using special components like wires made out of tooth-colored, biocompatible nickel titanium, Six Month Smiles® braces can move your teeth more quickly.
The process involves no added risk of root damage or other issues that are associated with long-term orthodontic treatments. The technique moves your teeth into better position using a low amount of force, while the design and components allow safe teeth straightening in a reduced amount of time.
Please contact Imagine Advanced Dental Arts for more information on this innovative orthodontic technique. With Six Month Smiles®, your teeth can look straighter and more beautiful in a matter of months.
Six Month Smiles FAQs
+What is Six Month Smiles?
Six Month Smiles is a short-term cosmetic braces option that focuses on the front teeth that show when you smile. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we use it to straighten visible teeth quickly and discreetly.
+Does Six Month Smiles always take exactly six months?
Treatment averages about six months, but timing depends on your teeth, bite, and goals. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.
+Is Six Month Smiles full bite correction?
Six Month Smiles is designed for cosmetic alignment of the visible teeth, not full bite reconstruction. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we will recommend ClearCorrect or another option if you need broader correction.
+Are the braces noticeable?
They are subtle. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we use clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, so Six Month Smiles braces are far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
+Is Six Month Smiles comfortable?
Yes. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we find the lower forces used by Six Month Smiles make treatment more comfortable than conventional braces for most patients.
+Who is a good candidate for Six Month Smiles?
Adults and older teens with crowding, spacing, or minor bite issues affecting the front teeth are often great candidates. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we confirm your candidacy with a quick exam.
+How much does Six Month Smiles cost?
It is typically less expensive than full braces or aligner therapy. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we provide a clear estimate and offer financing through CareCredit and Lending Club.

Yes. To protect your results, a retainer is recommended after treatment. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we provide one and show you how to wear it.
+Does Six Month Smiles damage teeth?
No. The technique uses gentle force over a short period, which at Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we consider a safe, conservative way to straighten the visible teeth.
