6 Month Smiles Cosmetic Braces

I love doing braces. I love seeing teeth move. It amazes me how fast I can straighten people's teeth sometimes and give them beautiful smiles that they have wanted their whole life. Not only that, but doing so in about 6 months. Anyhow, a picture says a 1000 words.

Patient #1 wanted braces her whole life. Finally decided it's time. Here is before:



Here is 4.5 months later! I wanted them on a little longer (after all I am a picky dentist), but she was thrilled with them and wanted to take an awesome vacation. Who could blame her?




Here is patient number 2 that I am seeing right now. Once again, she has wanted braces for a long time and consulted with several doctors. Here is before:



Here is a picture of treatment ONLY 2 MONTHS IN!!! Look at the dramatic movement! Also note how the brackets are clear. Not only are they fast, but they are clear!

Straight teeth + Adult Braces!

So everyone wants straight teeth. Who doesn't?? But most people - and I don't blame them - don't want to spend 2-3 years in full metal braces as an adult! So what options are there to straighten your teeth? Let's go over them:

1. Veneers. If you absolutely want the fastest way to straight teeth, then veneers are your answer. Major downsides include 1. you are shaving down possibly perfectly healthy teeth which can increase risk of root canals and also nothing is stronger than perfectly healthy teeth and 2. any dental work doesn't last forever so your veneers will need to be replaced down the line.

2. Comprehensive Orthodontics. You would typically visit an orthodontist where you spend 2-3 years in metal braces to move your teeth as close to the ideal position. In orthodontics, there is a position of how teeth fit together that is considered "ideal." If you are considering braces for your kids, this is the way to go. In adults, this is also a great option if your goal is to get your teeth straight and as "perfect" as possible. Obvious negative is length of treatment.

3. 6 Month Smiles Braces. With adults, often times they want straight teeth and see value in braces versus veneers, but don't want to spend 2-3 years as metal-mouth. Here steps in limited orthodontics. My philosophy with adults is to treat adults realistically and kids idealistically. Kids that want braces, go to the orthodontist to have comprehensive braces done. Adults, we can straighten your teeth in typically 6 months! How is that possible? In comprehensive orthodontics, teeth are moved into "ideal" positions; this means moving large multi-rooted molars through the jaw. With 6 Month Smiles braces, if your bite is alright, you don't have jaw pain, problems chewing etc, we do not focus on movement of your back teeth. All we focus on are the movement of your front teeth into a straighter position. It gives you the look you want in a MUCH shorter time!
