Are you one of the many adults in the UK who wish they had straighter teeth? You are? So, how would you feel if someone told you that in only half a year you could finally have those straighter teeth? And what if they also told you that the treatment wouldn’t break your bank balance, or hurt like mad or put so much metal in your mouth that no one could understand what you were saying?

Well, at Farnham Road Dental Practice in Guildford, Six Month Smiles offers all of those things. It is of one of the world’s most popular braces treatments, having taken all the best elements of traditional braces and updated them with both the latest materials and techniques.

If you grew up without getting your teeth straightened, and are now regretting it, or maybe you did and they’ve gone out of alignment again, then Six Month Smiles in Guildford might well be the solution for you.

This discreet braces system is aimed especially at adults like you, whose front six teeth, known as the ‘social teeth’ because they are the ones most on view, need some straightening, but who have no other serious problems with their bite.

In Guildford, Six Month Smiles braces straighten the teeth using discreet fixed braces (which achieve results faster than removable aligners) that consist of clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured titanium-nickel wires. The brackets are fixed to the teeth at particular angles and, along with the wires, use standardised mechanics to move the teeth. However, because, with Six Month Smiles the aim is only to straighten the teeth, and not alter the bite, the forces needed are much gentler, and therefore less painful. Gentler forces also mean less chance of damage to the tooth roots.

Because there is no alteration to the bite, the whole process usually takes between four and nine months rather than two or more years. And a quicker treatment means fewer visit to the dentist and therefore a lower cost for you.

Once the teeth have been straightened, you will need to wear a removable retainer to anchor them into their new place in the jaw. If you find that you keep forgetting to put that retainer in, you can have a bonded retainer fitted. This is also invisible.

Here we are in January again, the month of the resolution. Most people’s resolutions are driven by a desire to make their lives flow more smoothly, and be healthier, both mentally and physically. And so they join the gym, or start looking for a new job, or take up a new hobby to make new friends.

However, if you are one of the many adults who wish they had straighter teeth, investing in Six Month Smiles in Guildford could address many of the needs mentioned above.

Feel happier

Having a great smile means that you smile more often. And when you smile, your body releases feel-good chemicals called serotonin and beta-endorphin. These chemicals fit into receptor cells throughout the body and, when they lock into place, they tell you to feel happy and connected. Of course, when you feel happy and connected, you tend to smile more, and so a positive feedback loop of smile, feel happy, smile, feel happy, begins to take place. You may find yourself smiling more than you ever thought possible.

Improve your social connections

Of course, people are going to notice and respond to all this smiling you are now doing. We are hard-wired to respond to genuine smile with feelings of warmth towards the smiler, and with wishes to connect and be of service to them. So, you may well find that somehow your days glide more smoothly as you smile at everyone from the bus driver to the bank clerk to your boss and that gorgeous person across the room. Difficult situations could become easier, work challenges resolve themselves more easily, new friends could start appearing in your life.

Feel healthier

Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which means that not only do you have a healthier mouth, but that, in the long-run, you will be helping yourself to avoid other health issues that can be made worse by poor oral health, such as heart disease.

In Guildford, Six Month Smiles is a discreet braces system that works on straightening the front six social teeth in between four and nine months. It uses gentle forces to move your teeth in a very short period of time, compared to traditional metal braces.

With Six Month Smiles in Guildford, you get an unobtrusive braces solution. The brackets are clear and the wires are tooth coloured so they blend in with the look of your mouth making them less noticeable.

How long will I need them for?

Teeth straightening takes longer than many dental treatments. However, by changing the primary focus of their system of braces, Six Month Smiles have shortened the amount of time it takes to get from start to finish while still getting the result you want. For many people, the main concern is the teeth you can see when you smile and this is where the work is done with Six Month Smiles. In Guildford, at Farnham Road Dental Practice, we assess and measure you, order and fit the braces all within a short space of time so you can get going within a matter of weeks.

How much will they cost?

Six Month Smiles is comparable in cost to regular braces and, in some cases, can be less because the treatment time is shorter. The exact amount depends on what you want to achieve but your dentist will ensure you have the full cost breakdown before treatment starts so that you can make an informed choice.

When you visit your dental practice, it is important that you have a range of dental treatments to choose from. At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we think that there are so many variables in life to consider when getting a extensive treatment like teeth straightening that, the more you have to choose from, the more likely it is to be harmonious with your life.

You do have options when it comes to straightening your teeth and one of these is Six Month Smiles. In Guildford, at Farnham Road Dental Practice, we offer this solution because it is swift and discreet. This system was developed so that patients who required a moderate level of treatment or even a slight adjustment could have the option to have tooth coloured braces. Six Month Smiles focus on the teeth that are visible when you smile meaning that they can get the results you want in a short amount of time.

How do I get Six Month Smiles in Guildford?

When you come to see us at Farnham Road Dental Practice, your dentist will make a thorough assessment of your mouth and listen to the details of what you want. Although they will make suggestions, it is important that you tell them if you are particularly self-conscious about any particular features such as a gap or crooked tooth. They will take impressions of your teeth, get your clear braces ordered and they will be sent back to our clinic in Guildford. Six Month Smiles are fitted using a tray that places the clear brackets precisely onto your teeth. Your dentist will then fit the wires and anything else required.

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we will see you regularly to ensure that you are making the progress you want to. Most treatments with this method take between four and nine months to complete but the average is around six months. After that, as with all braces, you will need to wear either a fixed or removable retainer for around a year to allow the effects of the braces to stabilise. Sometimes it is only necessary to wear your retainer at night but your dentist will talk to you about this.
