Do you want to feel proud of your smile? Did you say ‘no’ to braces as a child and now regret it?

You are not alone!

While there are benefits to undertaking orthodontic treatment earlier in life, if you missed that window, it is no longer the end of the road. Today, many adults and teenagers are choosing to undertake braces and aligners later in life and, unlike traditional orthodontic braces for children, there are so many options to choose from!

When you come to Farnham Road Dental, our dental team will discuss with you the benefits of each adult-targeted brace and help you decide which one is best suited to your individual needs. One of our more popular adult braces is the Six Month Smiles in Guildford, which, as the name suggests, can give you a straighter smile in just 24 weeks!

But what are the benefits of choosing Six Month Smiles in Guildford? Read on to find out!

Discretion

When thinking of a fitted brace, you would be forgiven for envisioning the traditional, metal braces that are commonly worn by children.

Although this brace is also fitted to the teeth, the brackets and other components are tooth coloured, making this brace visually discreet and easy to conceal if desired; perfect for adults and teenagers!

Treatment of multiple conditions

Another benefit of this brace is its power!

Like traditional braces, Six Month Smiles in Guildford can treat a variety of dental problems, ranging from overcrowding, or excessive spacing to over or underbites!

Although you will require a consultation with one of our orthodontists to determine suitability, of all the adult braces available, this brace is the most versatile as well as being fast working.

Comfortable

Another misconception in relation to braces is discomfort; we all remember that one child at school who was forever complaining about dental discomfort after having their braces tightened.

While it is true that there may be an adjustment period required for you to get used to wearing this brace, overall, wearers have deemed it extremely comfortable.

Unlike traditional braces that move the crown and the root of the tooth separately, this brace moves them both at the same time, reducing feelings of discomfort and pressure in the jaw.

Management

One reason our dental team at Farnham Road Dental Practice enjoys working with this brace is that it offers them a greater range of clinical management.

If you have protruding teeth or a couple of teeth that are misaligned, this brace allows our dentists to target the treatment of moving those specific teeth, while leaving the rest in place.

This makes the treatment easier for both you and our dental team, and also speeds it up!

Time!

Of course, the main reason this brace is so popular among adults and teenagers is its treatment time frame.

Compared to other adult braces like Invisalign, which offers an average treatment time of 9 months, this brace’s average is 6, meaning you can get that straighter smile in practically no time at all! Perfect!
