For many years, metal braces were the only available option for patients who wanted to straighten their teeth and improve the aesthetics of their smile. Metal braces are still used by many patients around the world and have proven to be very effective. However, adults are increasingly turning to alternative teeth straightening methods and Six Month Smiles is one of them.

Six Month Smiles clear braces in Beaconsfield are made of tooth-coloured brackets and wires and are fixed on the teeth just like regular braces. If you are interested in this straightening treatment at Garden View Dental Care, our dentists are here to help you. Six Month Smiles clear braces in Beaconsfield are comfortable to wear, barely visible and can straighten your teeth in six months – or less! How is that even possible?

A combination of traditional methods and new technologies

Just like regular braces, clear braces in Beaconsfield apply pressure to the teeth to help them move into alignment over a specific period of time. However, there is a major difference between these two treatments. Metal braces move both the root and the crown, whereas clear braces move only the crown of the tooth. Clear braces do not affect the position of your bite and can only move the front teeth, which are visible when you smile. This innovative treatment is discreet, effective and above all, speedy.

Will my teeth become crooked again after the treatment?

Clear braces have proven to be effective with many adult patients. However, adult relapse is a common phenomenon and sometimes it cannot be avoided. To limit the likelihood of your teeth returning to their crooked state, your dentist will recommend wearing a retainer to maintain the straight position of your teeth for longer.

Can everyone wear clear braces?

Clear braces are recommended for patients who have minor dental issues, mostly affecting the appearance of their front teeth. Heavily misaligned, rotated or twisted teeth need a different method.
