London dentists offer Six Months Smile to give patients stunning new look

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

Wearing a traditional metal brace is an effective way of dealing with alignment and straightening issues you might have with your teeth. But all of the metal brackets and wires, not to mention the long treatment time (often around two years) can fill people with dread. Thankfully a new product is on the market that is already creating a popular buzz in the United States for the way it avoids these pitfalls.

As the name suggests, Six Months Smile can rectify problems with overbite, spacing, crooked and overcrowded teeth in only six months. And, even more miraculously, the cost is roughly the same as most traditional orthodontic treatments.

Perhaps the greatest bonus for image conscious young people is the fact that Six Months Smile is far more discreet than traditional metal braces. It uses only nickel titanium wires which can be matched to the colour and shade of your teeth. Not only are they discreet but they lose nothing in terms of durability and many American patients have been delighted with the results.

Once undergoing the Six Months Smile procedure, you need only see your dentist every month or so. This is so that adjustments can be made to ensure that your teeth are being moved into the right places, leaving you with a perfectly straight smile at the end of it all. These appointments take just fifteen minutes so are compatible with the busiest of schedules.

If you are concerned about the look of your smile abut are concerned about the length of treatment and the appearance of metal braces, talk to your London dentist about the possibility of undergoing the Six Months Smile treatment.

6 Months Smile in the City of London

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

If you consider you have an ‘ugly’ smile in the city of London, you don’t have to resign yourself that you have it for life, because there are treatments available to get your teeth fixed, whatever your age. One such imported treatment from the U.S is called the 6 months smile designed to cure overcrowding teeth, gaps, teeth that stick out and teeth that do not meet when you bite. And it’s as quick as it says in the title. Initially, the dentist will assess your smile with x-rays and photographs and decide if you are suitable for the treatment. Once you have cleared this hurdle, you will be fitted with the brace that is tailor made back in the States, consisting of small white brackets and special, unobtrusive wires to hold everything in place. As the treatment develops, you will visit the dentist once a month for adjustments and monitoring until the treatment is finished. The advantage of this treatment, other than the time, allows you to plan around any major events that you may have coming up in your calendar and even more attractive is the price. It comes in a lot cheaper than other treatments and in half the time, but then, can you put a price on looking good and smiling with confidence?

Getting a 6 month smile in the city of London

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

We live in a very fast world and we like to have our demands met- we see things and we want them here and we want them now and that attitude extends to how we look and how we smile. Well, when it comes to teeth, help is on hand in the city of London. There’s a new kid on the block from the U.S.A. called the 6-month smile. It’s a brace procedure designed for a quick fix. Imagine…you’re getting married in the year but, will that buck tooth spoil the wedding photo? This is the treatment for you. Like any fitted brace, the process requires consultation followed by x-rays and photos to assess your requirements. The treatment will correct alignment, teeth that stick out and gaps, but it’s not overly concerned with the occlusion (bite) of the mouth like other braces- it does what it’s designed to do in six months. Initially you will be fitted with small tooth coloured brackets connected by wires- this may cause discomfort at first. Monthly visits to the dentist will be required to make constant adjustment until the treatment is complete and a retainer used afterwards to prevent the procedure reversing itself. It’s quick and it’s painless and all over in time for the big event……….say cheese!

Revolutionary teeth straightening with Six Month smile from City of London dentist

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Six Month Smile braces are a revolutionary new form of orthodontic straightening device that combines proven and traditional straightening methods with new materials and techniques to produce stunning results in just six months. For many years, orthodontic straightening was dominated by the fixed metal brace, which though effective had many obvious and unpleasant side effects. These ranged from the aesthetic impact to the irritation they often caused and painful tightening appointments.

Six Month Smile treatments are based on tried and tested methods but they have made improvements that have significantly improved the treatment. Most obviously is the time factor. Traditional braces could take as long as three years to be fully effective. This treatment time has been slashed by the Six Month brace. Six Month braces have also improved on the aesthetic appearance of braces, using clear and white coloured plastic and ceramic materials to make the brackets and wires. They are also smaller and so look a lot less intrusive in the mouth.

The brace also uses a lower level of force which means they are not as painful and don’t require as many tightening appointments. The reason Six Month is able to achieve all this is because they focus their attention on the parts of the dental arc that can be seen when smiling. This makes them perfect for teenagers and young professionals keen to put the finishing touches to their smiles. For more information, make an appointment to see a City of London dentist. They can provide you with more details about how the braces work and give you some idea of your suitability and cost.

See for yourself how far brace technology has come with the Six Month Smile brace from a City of London dentist.

Fast acting braces from City of London dentist

In the past, straightening teeth almost inevitably meant having to wear the traditional style metal fixed braces, commonly known as train track braces. While effective, these braces also had several very noticeable drawbacks. Not only were they not the most pleasant to look at, but they also posed problems when it came to teeth cleaning. Regular tightening sessions made the braces painful and the metal could also cause irritation to the soft tissue lining of the cheek. However, by far and away the most common complaint was that the length of treatment was often excessive. In some cases, patients had to wear the braces for up to three years, which is a substantial period of time.

However, in recent years there have been major developments in the field of orthodontic teeth straightening. New braces have come on to the market that have addressed all of these old issues and more. Braces such as the Inman aligner for example, offer a more discreet straightening experience with the incredible bonus being the treatment time is only a quarter of the average time with fixed metal braces.

Other braces such as the Six Month Smile offer similar incredibly fast straightening. Braces such as the Damon system and Invisalign are not quite as speedy in the straightening stakes but they still beat the traditional braces by a comfortable six months. They also have other benefits in terms of incredible discretion and comfort. You can learn more about all these orthodontic devices and more at your next appointment with a City of London dentist.

Orthodontic teeth straightening is not the same process it was twenty or even ten years ago and a whole new range of more effective and less intrusive products are now widely available to give you the smile you have always wanted.

Originating and manufactured in the US, Six Month Smile braces offer straightening up to 75 per cent faster than other conventional braces and by utilising tooth coloured wires and smaller brackets, they are as discreet as they are fast-acting.

Six Month braces are suitable for most crowding, spacing or bite problems occurring in the front teeth of the mouth. Patients opting for the Six Month treatment will first undergo a smile assessment with a City of London dentist to ascertain exactly what they desire from their treatment plan. The smile assessment usually involves digital x-rays and dental examinations to gain an understanding of exactly how much movement will be possible with the braces.

Once fitted, the Six Month braces may cause some initial discomfort but this is common to all orthodontic straightening devices and is no cause for concern. Patients will require short ten minutes appointments every four to five weeks to check progress and make any necessary alterations to the brace.

Wearing a brace can be a big decision for people who may have serious reservations about the visual impact. The discreet and incredibly fast treatment offered by Six Month Smile braces represents a genuine solution for these patients and many others desiring the perfect smile.

Six-Month Smile braces from London dentist creates dream smile

Teeth straightening technology has advanced in huge strides over the last twenty years. A few decades ago, patients would have been limited to one sort of metal brace, more than likely of the iconic ‘train-track’ variety, to straighten their teeth. These uncomfortable and let’s face it, ugly, metal brackets were effective but came with the obvious drawbacks. It was also true that in most cases braces were fitted to patients during the teenage years which is probably the last time you would want to stand out from the crowd.

Thankfully, since then the improvements in technology have meant that there has been an explosion in the amount of choices available to patients. Whatever your lifestyle there will be a brace that will best suit you. One of the newest braces to hit the market is the Six-Month Smile treatment. By correcting only teeth that are visible when smiling the focussed approach of Six-Month Smile can straighten teeth in, that’s right, only six-months. This is a reduction in treatment time of up to 70 per cent on other more conventional treatments.

Six-Month Smile works by using special nickel-titanium alloy wires to reposition teeth, focusing on the teeth that show at the front. The wires are tooth coloured, which means they are very discreet and only visible when up close to the patient. Six-Month Smile treatments are also especially designed to reduce discomfort, which as any brace wearer can tell you, is a major factor when they are initially fitted and tightened.

Six-Month Smile braces are mostly suitable for patients with minor overcrowding issues. Any serious overcrowding or alignment problems may need to be corrected with other braces before the Six-Month Smile brace can be used to add the finishing aesthetic touches. They are perfect for patients wishing to create a perfect smile in a discreet and comfortable way. Ask a London dentist about the Six-Month Smile braces and you could have the straight teeth you have always wanted.

For patients who require their teeth straightened there are now far more options than there ever were previously. Twenty years ago it would have been ugly and uncomfortable metal braces or nothing at all. Metal braces worked, but having to have a mouthful of metal brackets and wires for months on end was often too much for some patients. It was also unfortunate that braces are for the most part fitted when patients are in their difficult and emotionally sensitive teenage years.

Thankfully, advances in technology means that there are now several alternatives to metal braces. Whether it is discretion or speed that you desire there will now be a brace to fit around your lifestyle and not the other way round.

One of the latest straightening methods on the market is the Six-Month smile treatment. By focussing solely on the teeth that can be seen when smiling, Six-Month smile braces are able to achieve incredibly fast results. They aim to completely straighten teeth in, that’s right, just six-months. This is a reduction of up to 75 per cent on other forms of straightening.

By using special nickel-titanium wires, overcrowding issues can be solved by repositioning teeth at the front into more natural places. The wire is usually tooth coloured meaning that the Six-Month smile brace is also very discreet. They are also said to cause far less discomfort to patients than most other orthodontic appliances. If you are suffering from overcrowding or feel that your teeth could do with that final bit of straightening to give you perfectly straight teeth, ask a Central London dentist about the Six-Month smile treatment and bring a beautiful smile back to your face.

Six-Month Smile braces from London dentist straightens teeth in record time

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

For patients who have always dreamed of straight teeth put couldn’t face the prospect of having to wear ugly and uncomfortable braces or retainers for as long as three years, there is finally another option. Patients will now be able to achieve the perfect smile they have always wanted in as little as six months, with the aptly named Six-Month Smile treatment.

Six-month Smile can be used to treat orthodontic concerns such as overcrowding, spacing and problems arising with bite. It is able to achieve incredible results in such a short time because, unlike more conventional braces, the treatment focuses on only correcting the position of teeth that show when you smile. Using specially designed nickel titanium wires, the teeth are repositioned so that those at the front are able to move into more natural looking positions. Because of this more focused approach, treatment time can be reduced by as much as 75 per cent compared to regular braces.

Other advantages that the Six-Month system has over regular metal braces are that the wires are small and tooth-coloured meaning that they are far more discreet than metal ‘train-track’ braces. The levels of discomfort felt by the patient are also reduced when compared to conventional metal braces, and even Invisalign clear braces.

It must be said, that although Six-Month braces are discreet, they cannot compete in this department with the virtually invisible Invisalign braces. However, treatment will be significantly shorter and the accompanying cost is greatly reduced. Two more reasons why more and more patients are opting for Six-Month Smiles.

Six-Month Smile braces, like all orthodontic treatments, may involve a small a mount of discomfort but this will be a great deal smaller than with other straightening systems. Once fitted, the patient will require ten to fifteen minute appointments every four weeks to adjust the wires.

A London dentist will be able to provide you with further information about the advantages of Six-Month Smile braces. If they are suitable for you, you could have the beautiful straight smile you’ve always wanted, in under six-months.
