Treatments / Orthodontics / Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles.
Clear braces with tooth-coloured wires and average treatment times of only six months: conservative, predictable results with minimal visibility, focusing on the teeth visible when you smile.
Who it suits
Adults with crooked or spaced front teeth.
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. Special nickel titanium wires use low forces, so treatment is comfortable and safe, typically over 4 to 9 months.
Retainers are required after treatment, with removable or bonded options available.
