Six Month Smiles is an innovative solution for adults who want straighter teeth in just a few months. The treatment is based on a system of discreet braces, with clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to make them almost undetectable in your mouth. Six Month Smiles focuses on the front six to eight teeth that show when you smile, giving an excellent cosmetic result.

The Six Month Smiles system works in a similar way to traditional fixed braces, with brackets bonded to the teeth and wires placed through and adjusted to align teeth over a short period of time. We are able to offer both clear braces and metal finish braces. The white braces are tooth-coloured and, whilst they do cost slightly more, they are very discreet.
Your Six Month Smile journey starts with a personalised consultation to discuss your goals and expectations. We explain the treatment process in detail and create a custom plan tailored to your specific needs.
Using advanced digital technology, we take precise impressions of your teeth. These are used to design and create your discreet, custom-made braces. When ready, we gently bond your braces to the front of your teeth, with a thin wire threaded through to guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
Throughout your treatment, we’ll monitor your progress closely with regular appointments. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
Once your treatment is complete, we carefully remove your braces and reveal your stunning new smile. To finish, we provide you with a retainer to help you maintain your beautiful results.
The Six Month Smile technique uses the latest technology and specialised low force wires to move teeth quickly and safely. The goal is to provide a great smile in a faster time, focusing on the teeth that show when you smile. We do not try to alter the bite or back teeth as this is usually unnecessary for cosmetic improvements and adds to treatment time.
Six Month Smiles uses low forces to move your teeth gently, meaning that you’ll experience minimal discomfort throughout the process.
Generally, you will see your dentist once a month for adjustments that will gently move your teeth into position.
As the name suggests, treatment usually takes around six months. However, your individual treatment plan will depend on the complexity of your case.
Yes, after any orthodontic treatment it is necessary to wear a retainer to keep the teeth in their new straight position. You can opt for a removable retainer or a permanent retainer bonded to the back of the teeth.
If you are 16 years and older with crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major alteration to your bite, Six Months Smiles could be the solution for you! Please talk to us for more information and to book a consultation.
As with all of the orthodontic treatments available at Holmes Dental Care we offer a free, no obligation, virtual consultation so you can discuss how you feel about your teeth and what you want from teeth straightening treatment. During the consultation we will help you decide whether Six Months Smiles braces is the most suitable option and advise on the likely treatment costs as well as the likely time frame.
