Six Month Smile
Your big day is coming up in a couple of months. Maybe you are getting married or graduating from college and anticipating lots of job interviews. Self-confidence is vital. You simply have to look your best and make a terrific impression. You feel like you’ve planned for every detail. But, have you thought about your smile?
It’s not too late to get a great looking smile with attractive, straight teeth in about six months (of course, treatment time varies by patient). And you can do it without the discomfort and embarrassment of a mouthful of metal. This is a cosmetic solution that fits an adult lifestyle.
Dr. Staci Blaha at Platte Valley Dental Care is trained and experienced in administering the Six Month Smiles system. This method gently, effectively, and economically focuses on the teeth you see when you smile. (If you have serious bite or alignment problems with back teeth, Dr. Blaha may refer you to an Orthodontist).
Six Month Smiles uses brackets cemented to six or seven adjoining teeth. The braces are similar to traditional metal ones, except that these are clear. And, the wires are made of tooth-colored nickel-titanium, so they are barely visible. Wires are simply replaced as you progress through treatment, with none of the conventional and painful tightening. The low-force process of tooth straightening is comfortable and safe, with no damage to teeth, roots, or gums. Short treatment time helps to ensure good oral hygiene.
Since teeth are moved into place rather quickly, retention is critical. We’ll fit you with clear Invisalign aligners or use retaining bars invisibly cemented to the back of your teeth (bonded retainers) for a period of time after straightening, to be sure your beautiful, new smile lasts a lifetime.
Six Month Smiles is a conservative, affordable, and very efficient way to attain a great looking smile. The effect can be life changing. And getting there won’t be noticeable.
