Six-Month Braces
Many patients come to our office wanting straighter teeth and believe that they only have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing and just live with their crooked teeth
2. Go through 2-3 years of braces
3. Have a Smile Makeover done
The good news is that there is now another option: Six-Month Braces. Also known as Fast Braces or Adult Braces, usually in only 6 months, we use invisible aligners or almost invisible tooth-colored brackets and wires to straighten your teeth fast.
For even more information, on Six-Month Braces:
Renee wanted a couple things corrected - she hated the ugly old silver fillings in her back teeth, and she was embarrassed by both the shape her teeth and the crooked front teeth. However, she did not want any healthy enamel removed to do porcelain veneers, and she wanted a more affordable Smile Makeover than with veneers, too.
The ugly old silver fillings, which were 20+ years old and had cavities under them, were replaced with beautiful and strong all-porcelain crowns, and then we placed the clear brackets for about 7 months to straighten her front teeth.
Renee is a good example of why it is so important to wear your retainers regularly - her teeth just shift very fast, and if she doesn't wear them, she could end up needing braces again after only 6 months.
Please wear your retainers!
Jeremy had been told that the only way to fix his bite and crowded teeth was to get braces for 3-4 years and have jaw surgery. He wanted something fast and more affordable, so he came to see me for 6-Month Braces. Our goal was not to fix his bite completely, but to give him a smile he wasn't embarrased about.
Jeremy's treatment literally only took FOUR MONTHS. Even faster than I thought would happen. Needless to say, Jeremy is thrilled.
Many of our patients used to hide their smile by covering it with their hand whenever they laughed or smiled, simply because they were too embarrassed for anyone to see their teeth. 6-Month Braces gave these patients straight teeth and a beautiful smile FAST!
