6 Month Smiles - Resources
Overview of 6 Month Smiles
At Grove City Dental, we're delighted to introduce our patients to 6 Month Smiles, an innovative orthodontic treatment designed to enhance your smile in a remarkably short time. Leveraging the latest in dental technology, this solution aligns your teeth efficiently and discreetly.
How 6 Month Smiles Work
6 Month Smiles utilizes clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, making the braces less visible than traditional metal braces. The treatment focuses on adjusting the teeth that show when you smile, without significantly altering your bite. This method allows for a quicker treatment process, often completed in just six months.
Benefits of 6 Month Smiles
The benefits of choosing 6 Month Smiles are substantial. Patients appreciate the speed of treatment, the discreet appearance of the braces, and often find them to be more comfortable than traditional braces. Moreover, the shorter treatment time means fewer visits to our office, saving you time and inconvenience.
Comparison of 6 Month Smiles with Traditional Braces
When compared to traditional braces, 6 Month Smiles stand out for their aesthetic and time-saving advantages. While traditional braces can take two to three years to achieve desired results, 6 Month Smiles significantly reduces this timeline. Additionally, the clear brackets and tooth-colored wires of 6 Month Smiles are far less noticeable, offering a subtler option for adult patients.
Cost of 6 Month Smiles Treatment
Understanding the cost is crucial for our patients. The cost of 6 Month Smiles treatment can vary depending on individual needs but is generally comparable to, or less than, the cost of traditional braces. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
Candidacy Requirements for 6 Month Smiles
Not everyone is a candidate for 6 Month Smiles. Ideal candidates are adults with crooked, spaced, or misaligned teeth without significant bite issues. A consultation with Dr. Scott Schumann and our team will determine if this treatment is the right option for you.
Maintenance and Aftercare for 6 Month Smiles
Maintaining your new smile after treatment is straightforward yet essential. We recommend regular dental check-ups, along with diligent brushing and flossing. Additionally, wearing a retainer as prescribed will help maintain your results long-term.
