Teeth straightening for healthier, confident smiles
Straighter teeth are healthier is because they’re much easier to clean.
This means that food is less likely to get trapped between them which reduces your chances of decay and gum disease.

six month smile braces for straight teeth in less time
Are you self-conscious and scared to show your teeth?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to actually being complimented by others on how great your teeth look?
And wouldn’t it be great to achieve that beautiful smile without having to endure a long period (up to two to three years in some cases) of wearing metal, unsightly braces?
Six Month Smiles is a safe, effective and affordable teeth-straightening treatment that will provide you with a beautiful smile in as little as six months. Not only that, but for those six short months you won’t have to suffer the embarrassment of wearing unsightly braces.
Instead, the Six Month Smiles treatment utilises a discreet tooth-coloured fixed brace system and modern technology that prevents any pain and adjusts the position of the teeth quickly. It concentrates purely on the front six to eight teeth that are visible when we smile.
Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked, or have spaces between them, the Six Month Smiles programme will enable you to go from uncomfortable and embarrassed when smiling in public to being immensely proud of your straight teeth.
six month smiles treatment – fixed or removable?
Six Month Smiles offers both fixed (bonded), clear aligners and removable braces options.
The “Invisible Aligners” are removable for eating, drinking, and cleaning. However, the traditional Six Month Smiles clear brackets are bonded to teeth and fixed, though they are removed by a dentist after treatment is complete.
Regardless of the method used, a retainer (which can be removable or bonded) is required afterward to maintain results.

FAQ

Some orthodontists are open on weekends, but availability varies by practice. Sunday appointments are less common, however Mayfield Dental operates Monday to Sunday, with weekend appointments to accommodate patients with work or school commitments.
The average orthodontic treatment time is between 12 and 24 months. However, this varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of appliance used, and how well the patient follows instructions. Minor alignment issues may be corrected in under a year, while more complex bite problems can take longer.
Invisalign can be faster than traditional braces for mild to moderate alignment issues, with some cases completed in 6 to 18 months. However, for more complex tooth movements or significant bite correction, fixed braces may work more efficiently.
The speed of treatment ultimately depends on the individual case rather than the appliance alone.
Very few people are completely disqualified from having braces. However, untreated gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or insufficient bone support may delay treatment until these issues are resolved.
In some complex cases, alternative treatments or specialist care may be recommended to achieve the safest and most effective outcome.
Evenly-spaced teeth are more effective for biting and chewing food with pressure evenly distributed across the teeth. Where teeth are uneven, specific areas are often subjected to much more pressure and this can lead to fractures, broken teeth and side effects like jaw pain and headaches.
