What Is 6-Month Smiles?

6-Month Smiles is a short-term orthodontic treatment designed to quickly and safely straighten the teeth that show when you smile — typically the front six upper and lower teeth. The system uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires for a discreet appearance.

It’s ideal for adults with mild to moderate crowding or spacing who are primarily concerned with improving aesthetics rather than correcting bite issues.

Key Benefits:

  • Average treatment time of 6 months
  • Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires for subtle appearance
  • Focuses on visible teeth only
  • Typically fewer office visits than traditional braces
  • Comfortable and efficient

This treatment is best for adults (16+) who:

  • Have mild to moderate crowding or gaps
  • Want a cosmetic improvement without long-term braces
  • Are not seeking major bite correction
  • Are looking for faster results for events like weddings, photoshoots, or career milestones

If you’re unsure whether this option is right for you, our team will also review alternatives like Invisalign or ceramic braces during your consultation.
