Faqs

Q: My teeth are overlapping and some are twisted. Can they be straightened in only six months?

A: The goal of six month smiles is to give you a great looking smile in a reasonable amount of time. Using special wire technology and focusing on the teeth that show, we can straighten teeth in an average time of six months.

Q: Will I have a to wear metal 'train-tracks' during the treatment.

A: No. The six month smile braces are tooth coloured and very discrete.

Q: Is the treatment painful?

A: As with all braces there may be some initial discomfort which usually subsides after a week. The six month smile treatment uses LOW force to gently guide your teeth into a more harmonious position.

Q: Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?

A: Yes, all cosmetic tooth straightening treatments require retainers. We want you to continue enjoying your new smile once your teeth are straight and even. There are a variety of retainers to suit your lifestyle.

Q: What are my chances of me needing an extraction?

A: We seldom extract teeth. For crowded and overlapping smiles we schedule an extraction for only one in twenty treatments.

Q: Do I have to change dentists for my routine care?

A: No, you can maintain your dental care with your regular dentist.
