Five FAQs about Six Month Smiles at Farnham Road Dental"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Are you an adult with misaligned teeth? Are you\nworried that the window to straighten them has passed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"straighter-teeth\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While in years gone by this may have been the\ncase, in dentistry today, there are many options available to help you. The\nworld of adult orthodontic procedures is booming in popularity and, depending\non your unique clinical presentation, there is almost certainly a brace that\ncan help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nFarnham Road Dental<\/strong>, our team of\ndentists and orthodontists are proud to be able to offer all of our adult\npatients a range of different braces and aligners. Everything from the\nworld-famous Invisalign aligner to Six Month Smiles\nin Guildford<\/a> is\navailable at our surgery, helping you to get that straighter smile you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you book a consultation with us, you will\nhave questions about our braces. In this article, we have compiled the five\nmost commonly asked questions about our Six Month Smiles\nin Guilford<\/strong> to give you more insight into this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can this brace work in only six months?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering Six\nMonth Smiles in Guildford<\/strong>, it is important to know how this brace\nworks as a dental device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional orthodontic braces that move\nthe top of the tooth (crown) and the bottom of the tooth (root) separately,\nthis targeted brace moves both at the same time. This enables a shorter\ntreatment time and provides a much more comfortable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it uncomfortable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you may require a slight adjustment period\nonce this brace is fitted, throughout the treatment, there should be minimal to\nno discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team at Farnham Road Dental<\/strong> will need to see you on average every 2 weeks to make adjustments to the brace, but once again, this should not be uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have an overbite – can it help me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As over or underbites are exceedingly common in\ndentistry, we cannot say for certain if you are a suitable candidate without\nperforming an examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our trained providers will assess your\nteeth for suitability at your initial consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t it just the same as Invisalign?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a word, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many differences between these braces\nand the Invisalign aligner, a primary one being that this brace is fitted to\nyour teeth, whereas Invisalign is removable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, while the Invisalign brace is targeted\nto correct only mild or moderate misalignments in the mouth, the Six Month\nSmiles braces can correct a wider array of dental issues; everything from\nsevere spacing to a pronounced underbite! Although both orthodontic options\noffer an accelerated treatment, the average time each aligner is worn for\ndiffers; Invisalign treatment takes on average nine months, whereas, in\nrelation to the Six Month Smiles braces, the average treatment time is in the\nname!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much will it cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, this is difficult to answer without\nactually examining your teeth.\n\nGenerally, this treatment is less expensive than\ntraditional orthodontic braces and our team at Farnham Road Dental <\/strong>may be able to offer you a treatment plan or an\nindividual financing option.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
