When you want to have your teeth straightened as an adult, there are more options than ever that are available.

There are aligners for those who have milder cases of misalignment, with the most well-known aligner being Invisalign.

But, if you have a more complex case of misalignment, chances are, you will need to wear a fitted brace. Fitted braces have changed a lot in the last few years, and now, it is possible to get the realignment you want in an accelerated time frame and to have a fitted brace that is not as visible as its metal counterparts.

When you come to see our team at Farnham Road Dental, we will be more than happy to discuss the best brace for your orthodontic treatment, including our most famous fitted brace, Six Month Smiles Guildford.

So what are the advantages of using Six Month Smiles Guildford?

Quick results

As the name suggests, these braces are designed to produce results in a shorter time frame than traditional braces, typically taking only six months to a year to achieve the desired results. However, depending on the severity of your misalignment, our team may decide to use Six Month Smiles Guildford as part of a process, and you may have them fitted after wearing a set of standard braces.

Cosmetically appealing

You may not be aware, but this brace, even though it is fitted, has a minimal appearance. The braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets and wires, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

So, even when you are wearing this fitted brace, it will be very difficult for your friends and family to spot it! This is why it is so popular with adult patients.

Less discomfort

Most people are familiar with how standard fitted braces work. They are put on to the teeth, and then they are adjusted or tightened. These adjustments allow the teeth to move, but do so by pulling the teeth into the desired position, which can create a lot of pressure and soreness. However, this style of braces uses lighter forces than traditional braces, which can result in less discomfort for patients during treatment. Of course, if you notice excessive levels of discomfort, you should contact our team promptly for an assessment.

Efficient

When it comes to correcting more extreme cases of dental misalignment, metal braces are the best option. But for mild to moderate cases, the Six Month Smile braces are suitable. Any of our patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues are recommended to use this brace, as it is good for correcting crowding, gaps, and misaligned teeth.

Cost-effective

So, most orthodontic treatment that is undertaken by adults is going to be expensive. And many people assume it is simply because of the brace itself. But, in actuality, it is because of the brace being fitted, maintained or tightened and the length of time that it is worn for. These particular braces typically cost less than traditional orthodontic treatment due to the fact that they are not worn for as long, thus making them a more affordable option for patients seeking straighter teeth.
