Request an AppointmentA Faster, More Discreet Path to Straighter Teeth
Many people want a beautiful smile that adds confidence and self-esteem, but they do not want traditional braces. Six Month Smiles® focuses on straightening the teeth that show when you smile rather than making major changes to your bite. This targeted, cosmetic approach allows treatment to be completed much faster than conventional orthodontics, typically in about six months, although some cases may take a little longer.
How Six Month Smiles® Works
The system uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that blend in with your natural teeth, so most people will not notice you are in treatment. Gentle, consistent forces move your front teeth into better alignment, and you visit us periodically so we can monitor your progress and make adjustments.
Benefits of Six Month Smiles®
- Shorter average treatment time than traditional braces
- Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires for a discreet look
- Gentle, comfortable tooth movement
- Often more affordable than comprehensive orthodontics
- Improved oral hygiene once teeth are better aligned
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Six Month Smiles® is ideal for adults and older teens with cosmetic concerns such as crowding, spacing, or crooked front teeth. Patients with significant bite problems may benefit more from comprehensive options like FastBraces®. Those who prefer removable aligners can consider Invisalign®.

Before and After Treatment
Before treatment, we complete an exam and digital X-rays and make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. After your braces are removed, a retainer keeps your teeth in their new positions. Many patients complete their transformation with Zoom! teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry treatments.
