Six Month Smiles
We offer Six Month Smiles clear braces, and yes, it is possible to straighten crooked teeth in just six months. Of course, each person has different needs, which makes it hard to say exactly how long treatment will take before we can examine your teeth. In most cases, though, it usually takes between six and nine months.
Six Month Smiles work like regular braces, but they just straighten the teeth that show when you smile. Regular braces are designed to fix problems with your dental bite (the way your teeth come together when you close your mouth). Many people who go through treatment with regular braces need to have their dental bite corrected before their teeth can be straightened.
Six Month Smiles clear braces are not designed to change your dental bite – they just straighten your front teeth. They work quickly because your front teeth are easier to straighten than your back teeth.
The first step is to call our Houston dental office to arrange a free consultation with Dr. Missonne. He’ll answer all your questions, talk to you about what’s involved with the process, and describe the results you can expect to see. Please give us a call to learn more about treatment with Six Month Smiles clear braces.
