<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWant to know more? Here, our team answers the most commonly searched queries about Six Month Smiles Guildford<\/strong>, so enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are six month braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Six Month Smiles Guildford<\/strong> is a cosmetic orthodontic treatment that uses clear or tooth-coloured braces and wires to straighten teeth in an average time of 6 months. Unlike traditional braces, This brace focuses on correcting the visible teeth that show when smiling rather than the bite and overall alignment of the jaw. This approach to orthodontic correction makes it a popular option for people who want to improve the appearance of their smile without a long treatment period or noticeable braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does it differ from traditional braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, it’s in the name! This brace is designed to be a quicker orthodontic solution with an average treatment time of 6 months, while traditional braces can take anywhere from 18 months to 36 months to complete. It also uses clear or tooth-coloured brackets and wires that blend in with the teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike metal braces, this option focuses solely on straightening the front teeth that are visible when smiling, while traditional braces address overall bite and jaw alignment, so it is not suitable for correcting misalignments with the molar teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it a comfortable brace to wear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is tough to answer, as discomfort experienced by orthodontic patients is subjective. You also have to remember that even aligners like Invisalign need to move teeth, so it would be odd if there was no sensation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most patients report that this type of brace is more comfortable to wear. Since the brackets and wires used in this option are smaller and lighter than traditional braces, they put less pressure on the teeth and gums. Additionally, the low-force technique used in this type of realignment reduces discomfort during the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, some patients may experience some initial discomfort or soreness as the teeth begin to move. This is normal and should resolve within a few days. If it doesn’t, call our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any restrictions or limitations with this brace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned before, this brace is designed to correct mild to moderate dental issues, so it may not be suitable for patients with more severe misalignment or bite problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, it is not designed to address all orthodontic issues, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. If you have any of these issues, you will likely need to wear a standard fitted brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it a hard brace to care for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As it is fitted, to keep it clean and to keep your teeth healthy, you are going to need to do some maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brushing your teeth at least twice a day with an electric toothbrush and flossing daily is crucial for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing plaque build-up when wearing this brace. As it is fitted, you should avoid hard or sticky foods, as these can cause damage or secondary issues with your teeth. But our team will be able to give you a more customised guide about how best to care for this brace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever wanted to straighten your teeth in 6 months?
