6 Month Braces for Adults
Braces in six months? It sounds incredible, but is it really possible? At Lewisporte Dental Clinic, it is! In fact, here's how Six Month Braces benefited a special patient of ours ...
Lisa's smile had always bothered her, and she was especially worried about how she would look at her upcoming wedding. About eight months before the big day, she visited her dentist to ask about her options. Porcelain veneers would have been fairly aggressive to compensate for the degree of crookedness of her teeth. And traditional braces would have taken two years. The perfect solution for Lisa was Six Month Braces, and they came off just in time for her wedding — leaving her with a beautiful smile.

Are you a candidate for Six Month Braces? If you answer "Yes" to any of the following questions, talk to us today!
- Are you unhappy about your smile, but not sure what to do about it?

Our Lewisporte Dental Clinic office is the first in Newfoundland to be certified by Six Month Smiles™ to offer Six Month Adult Braces. In the past, your only choices for correcting a crooked smile were traditional comprehensive orthodontics or porcelain veneers.
Today, you can have crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth straightened cosmetically with Six Month Braces.
Six Month Braces are nearly un-noticeable. Here is a photograph of someone with Six Month Braces with a silver wire (tooth-coloured wires are available):

Are Six Month Braces the same as regular braces?
Well, yes and no. Six Month Braces are very similar to conventional adult orthodontics, as it pertains to brackets and wires being used. The mechanism of moving the teeth is the same. The difference between the Six Month Smiles™ technique and conventional braces is the focus of the treatment.
With Six Month Braces, we focus only on the teeth that show in your smile. The goal is to give you a smile you can be proud of in a reasonable amount of time.
Most people have no trouble chewing while wearing Six Month Braces. Their teeth function well, and their bites work fine. Six Month Braces can be finished more quickly than traditional braces because we aren't focused on changing your bite, like traditional braces would. Instead, we are focused on what you want — improving the appearance of your smile!
Will it really only take six months?
Most Six Month Braces cases will take about six months — some a little less, some a little more. A "long" case may take up to nine months, but that's rare.
Will Six Month Braces be uncomfortable or painful?
Most patients tell us that they feel some temporary "tightness" in their teeth. Dr. Cuff recommends over-the-counter medications such as Advil or Motrin (Ibuprofen) for those rare cases that need some relief. But, so far, none of our patients have actually needed to use any medications. They tell us they "get used to them" very quickly — and the six months fly by before they know it!
What about those "invisible braces" I hear about on TV? What's the difference?
Naturally, there is no "magic bullet" treatment that applies to everyone. Each method has its own advantages. The advantage of the "invisible plastic braces" is that they are, well ... invisible.
The disadvantages of "invisible braces" are:
- Treatment takes longer
- The cost is significantly higher
- You have to remember to put the trays in and take them out
- Fine-tuning the result is more difficult and time-consuming
The advantages of Six Month Smiles™ are:
- Shorter treatment time
- Lower cost
- You don't have to remember to do anything — except see us once a month for an adjustment
- Fine tuning the result is easier and faster
- They are nearly invisible
How much will this cost?
The cost of Six Month Braces varies, depending on your needs. However, it is comparable with traditional braces — perhaps a bit lower — and considerably less than "invisible braces." Six Month Braces also cost far less than porcelain veneers. Call us today to discuss patient financing options.
