‘Social Six’ Teeth Straightening

A great looking attractive smile in just six months (or less).

One of the most visibly obvious aesthetic problems with a smile is when the teeth are crooked and uneven. This problem is quite common and often has its origins in the past, when patients may have avoided wearing braces when they really needed to.

Old style metal “train track” braces resulted in a significant number of younger patients opting to ‘take their chance’ with crooked teeth, rather than suffer the potential embarrassment of having to wear highly visible braces. This can leave problems in the adult years with teeth that protrude or overlap, consequently spoiling their smile.

At Alexandra Dental Care, we understand the reluctance of some patients to have worn  braces but also realise the huge benefits of having straight teeth. To this end, we offer a selection of discrete, almost invisible orthodontics which are particularly suitable for adults.

Six Month Smiles

As a recognised provider of Six Month Smiles, we are pleased to offer this system to our local Ashby and Swadlincote patients to allow them to straighten their visible teeth effectively and in a short period of time. Unlike some other orthodontic systems, these braces are not designed to straighten all of your teeth, but just the ‘social six’ which are the visible ones that people see when you smile. As the name of these cosmetic orthodontics suggest, they can achieve their aims in around six months. In fact though, this is an average time and, where relatively minor adjustment is needed, they can work in much less time than this. We will be able to give you a more accurate time estimate once we have examined your teeth during the initial consultation.

Discretion

Although this system does use wires and brackets, in the conventional manner of traditional braces, the materials used are much finer and also made using tooth coloured materials. This means that your new braces are much  more discreet and many people will not even notice that you are wearing them. You will need to be extra vigilant while you wear your braces, in order to keep your teeth and gums clean. There is little point in having your teeth straightened if you end up suffering from decay and gum disease. As cleaning can be a little trickier when wearing braces, we do recommend that you see our hygienist to help you to keep your teeth and gums as clean as possible.

If you would like to talk to us about having your teeth straightened, whitened or any other cosmetic dental treatment, you can contact Alexandra Dental Care by calling our reception team on 01283 216347. We look forward to helping you on the road to a beautiful new smile!
