If you have crooked, gapped or misaligned teeth, you can now get them aligned with an alternative solution to traditional metal braces: Six Month Smiles clear braces in Beaconsfield. Our experienced dental team at Garden View Dental Care will be happy to introduce this teeth straightening method to you and answer any questions you may have.

How do clear braces in Beaconsfield work?

Six Month Smiles clear braces move your teeth into their desired position by using a combination of clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires. These clear braces in Beaconsfield focus on your front teeth. Six Month Smiles clear braces use gentle pressure to move the teeth into alignment.

Do Six Month Smiles really only take six months to work?

This treatment is suitably named because on average it only takes six months to produce the desired results. Some patients may see results in four months, while others may require treatment for nine months. However, on average most patients will straighten their smile in just half a year. Treatment time depends on many factors such as each patient’s dental needs and the extent of the misalignment treated. Since Six Month Smiles treatment is customised, different patients will experience different treatment lengths.

Why do clear braces work so quickly?

Unlike metal braces, Six Month Smiles clear braces focus only on the front teeth. These teeth only have a single tooth root, unlike the teeth further back in the mouth that have three tooth roots each. Consequently, less force is needed to move these teeth and they can be shifted along faster.

Am I a candidate for this treatment?

Six Month Smiles clear braces are a great option for adults who wish to straighten their teeth and fix minor to moderate misalignment issues without spending years wearing metal braces. However, if you have bite problems, then this treatment is not the right option for you. Talk to our dentist and we can arrange an alternative teeth straightening treatment for you, taking into consideration your dental needs and lifestyle.

This sounds great. Are they hard to take care of?

Braces must be treated with a certain amount of respect, and mouths can take a lot of wear and tear during normal daily living. You may need to curtail or alter some activities when you are wearing your braces in Beaconsfield (and everywhere else too!) Here are some suggestions for taking care of your braces: Certain foods should be avoided as they can break or loosen your braces. These foods include hard or tough-to-bite foods such as apples or crusty bread; chewy foods such as toffee and caramels; corn on the cob; hard, crunchy foods such as nuts, carrots, and popcorn. It is also not advisable to chew ice or chewing gum as these can break or stick to your braces.

I like playing sports. Will that affect my braces?

You can continue to participate in any sport if you have braces. When playing sports where there is a possibility of getting hit in the mouth, you’ll need to wear a specially designed mouth-guard. The mouth-guard, made of durable plastic, is designed to fit comfortably over braces and will protect the soft tissues inside your mouth.

How do I find out if braces are right for me?

If you are an adult (15 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this could be the solution for you! Most adults are candidates for Six Month Smiles braces.

Cleaning your teeth with braces on

But during those six months, it is important to follow a good oral hygiene routine as braces, wires, springs, rubber bands, and other appliances can attract food and plaque, which can stain teeth if not brushed away. Brushing after every meal or snack with toothpaste and carefully removing any food stuck in your braces. You can also use a fluoride mouthwash to rinse around your braces. Mouthwash is good because it can get into places in the mouth that a toothbrush cannot reach. A waterpik or air flosser is also sometimes helpful to flush out stuck behind your braces.

How do I floss when wearing braces?

To floss teeth if you have braces, feed the short end of the floss through the space between the main arch wire and the upper portion of the tooth closest to the gum. Use a gentle sawing motion to work the floss on each side of the two teeth the floss is between. Be careful not to pull with too much force around the arch wire of your braces. Begin brushing teeth by using a regular soft toothbrush. Brush down from the top and then up from the bottom on each tooth with braces. Next, brush your teeth with a proxabrush or “Christmas tree” brush. This brush is specially designed for cleaning between two braces. Insert the brush down from the top and then up from the bottom between two braces. Use several strokes in each direction before moving on to the next space between two braces. Repeat the procedure until all teeth have been cleaned.

Braces do more than brighten up smiles

Braces are not purely a vanity option. They are fitted to improve an incorrect bite, which can lead to tooth damage, strain on the jaw muscles, joint problems and sometimes even headaches.

What are braces?

“Braces” are the name given to appliances that are placed in the mouth to slowly and gently guide crowded and misaligned teeth into a straighter position. In Beaconsfield, braces are available using a variety of systems. They are available for adults as well as children.

Different kinds of braces in Beaconsfield

A fixed brace is temporarily stuck to the teeth and you cannot take it out yourself. It has brackets and bands,and a flexible wire joins all the brackets, so that the teeth can be moved. Fixed braces are made of metal, plastic or ceramic.

Removable braces are used for simple treatments. A removable brace uses delicate wires and springs to move the teeth using gentle pressure. You can take it out and clean it.

Six Month Smiles braces are barely noticeable tooth-coloured wires that blend in with your teeth. The technology provides safe, comfortable and efficient tooth movement, which involves light forces to gently move your teeth to their new position.

On completion of treatment you may be provided with a removable retainer, which you will be expected to wear every day and night to keep the teeth in their position. You will also have the option of having a custom made, gold plated, fixed retainer which is bonded to the back of the front six teeth.
