If you have slightly crooked teeth then you might have already looked into ways of straightening them, and perhaps quickly discounted wearing braces due to the hassle and time required. However there have been huge advances in orthodontics in Wimbledon over the past few years, and nowadays treatment is often quick, discreet and very effective. If you think braces means wearing highly visible \u2018train tracks\u2019 then we have some extremely good news for you; now you can straighten your teeth with braces that are much less noticeable. Wimbledon Dental Care<\/a> is an accredited provider of Six Month Smiles, arguably one of the fastest orthodontic systems in the world.<\/p>\n

Why Choose Six Month Smiles?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six Month Smiles is what is known as a cosmetic braces system. This means it concentrates on moving the teeth you can see when you smile or talk, the so-called \u2018social six.\u2019 For many adults, this is often all that is required to create a beautiful smile and it can be particularly good for people who perhaps had orthodontics as a child and have since had an orthodontic relapse. An orthodontic relapse can occur when retainers are not worn as recommended, enabling teeth to shift their position slightly. Six Month Smiles can soon correct problems with rotated or crooked teeth and can close up or minimise unwanted spaces.<\/p>\n

Treatment Is Much Faster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conventional orthodontics often focus on correcting problems with the way teeth bite together which involves moving multiple teeth including those right at the back of the mouth. Six Month Smiles only concentrates on moving the front teeth so the overall treatment times are far quicker, taking an average of just six months. The great thing about having fixed braces such as Six Months Smiles is that the brackets can be positioned to precisely move teeth, and unlike removable aligners they are continually working to straighten your smile. You will also find these braces pretty comfortable to wear as they are specially designed to use mild but effective forces to gently move teeth.<\/p>\n

Less Visible Than Conventional Orthodontics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conventional fixed braces often use heavy and highly visible metal brackets whereas Six Months Smiles uses tooth coloured brackets and wires that are virtually invisible. In addition, you\u2019ll only be wearing them for a very short while so it\u2019s unlikely that very many people won\u2019t notice you are wearing braces.<\/p>\n

What Is Treatment like<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Our dentist in Wimbledon, Dr Kultej Sihra,<\/strong> will need to examine your teeth to decide if Six Month Smiles is suitable. If he thinks you will benefit from more comprehensive treatment then you can be referred to an orthodontic specialist. Otherwise we will take impressions and photographs of your teeth and these are used to fabricate your braces. The next step is for the braces to be bonded onto your teeth. You\u2019ll need to visit our surgery every four or five weeks so we can make any necessary adjustments. In no time at all you\u2019ll begin to see the results as your teeth moved into predetermined positions, creating a beautifully straighter smile. After your braces are removed, you\u2019ll need to wear a retainer. This is a comfortable device that is bonded permanently onto the inside surfaces of your teeth, ensuring you maintain the benefits of having Six Months Smiles in Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
