Six Month Smiles™ is a cosmetic orthodontic system designed to straighten the teeth that show when you smile, typically in about six months, using tooth-colored brackets and low-force wires. The treatment focuses on quick, comfortable alignment rather than full bite correction. The result is a faster, more discreet smile improvement, more quickly than with traditional braces.
Six Month Smiles is known for providing faster cosmetic alignment, but patients often ask whether the treatment also means fewer appointments or easier upkeep. While the system does streamline treatment, it still requires consistent monitoring to ensure your teeth move safely and predictably.
What to Expect During Six Month Smiles Treatment
Most patients visit the office every 4–5 weeks during Six Month Smiles. These visits are short and focused on making small adjustments, checking progress, and keeping everything on track. For as simple as they are, however, these visits are crucial. As for at-home care, because the treatment uses low-force brackets and wires, maintenance is generally simple: consistently brushing, flossing, and avoiding sticky foods will typically keep your braces secure.
