Six Month Smiles at Riverside Dental

At Riverside Dental, we understand that a straight, beautiful smile can make all the difference in your confidence and daily interactions. That’s why we offer Six Month Smiles, an innovative orthodontic treatment designed to quickly and efficiently align your teeth in an average time of just six months. If you’re looking for a fast, effective solution to straighten your teeth, discover why our patients and Wichita KS dentists trust and recommend Six Month Smiles.

What Is Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles is a modern take on traditional braces, focused primarily on correcting the teeth that show when you smile. This system uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, making it a discreet option compared to traditional metal braces. The primary appeal of Six Month Smiles is its efficiency, specifically targeting the cosmetic appearance of your teeth to significantly reduce the treatment time.

Ideal Candidates for Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is particularly suited for adults and older teenagers who have cosmetic concerns with their teeth. It is ideal for those looking for a quick fix to minor to moderate dental misalignments such as spacing, crowding, or overlapping teeth. If you’re seeking a cosmetic improvement in a short time frame for an upcoming event such as a wedding or graduation, Six Month Smiles could be the perfect solution.

However, if you have major orthodontic issues or need significant bite correction, traditional braces or other longer-term orthodontic treatments might be more appropriate. Our Wichita KS dentists can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine if Six Month Smiles is the right choice for your specific needs.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles

Choosing Six Month Smiles from Riverside Dental offers several advantages:

• Speed: As the name suggests, the average treatment time is only about six months, which is significantly shorter than traditional braces that can take two to three years.

• Aesthetics: The clear brackets and white wires are less noticeable than standard braces, making this a discreet option for adults.

• Comfort: Six Month Smiles uses low force to move teeth gently and focuses only on the teeth that show when you smile, enhancing comfort.

• Cost-Effective: The shorter treatment time often results in a cost-saving compared to traditional braces or aligners.

The Process of Getting Six Month Smiles

The process for getting Six Month Smiles at Riverside Dental is straightforward and begins with a consultation with one of our experienced Wichita KS dentists. Here’s what you can expect:

• Initial Consultation: This visit involves a thorough examination of your teeth, discussion of your cosmetic goals, and determination of whether Six Month Smiles is suitable for you.

• Custom Treatment Plan: If you are a good candidate, we will take impressions of your teeth to create the custom brackets and wires. Each set is tailored to fit your dental anatomy perfectly.

• Fitting: Once your braces are ready, you’ll come back to our office for fitting. Our dentists will attach the brackets and wires and make any necessary adjustments to ensure they fit comfortably.

• Regular Adjustments: You will need to visit our office periodically for adjustments to ensure your teeth are moving correctly and to address any discomfort.

• Completion: In about six months, you’ll see the final results. We will remove the braces and provide a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their new position.

Caring for Your Six Month Smiles

Maintaining your Six Month Smiles braces involves regular brushing and flossing to keep the brackets clean and free of food particles. Avoiding hard and sticky foods can prevent damage to the wires and brackets. Regular follow-up visits are crucial to adjust the braces and monitor progress.

When to Consider Other Treatments

While Six Month Smiles is an excellent option for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. If your dental issues include significant bite problems or require major movement of the back teeth, other treatment options like traditional braces or clear aligners might be recommended. Our Wichita KS dentists are committed to finding the most effective treatment to meet your individual needs.
