Six Month Smiles® short-term braces are a great option for quickly straightening your teeth. Six Month Smiles can give you a straight, beautiful smile in just a few months — the average treatment time is only six months compared with the 18 to 30 months typically needed with traditional orthodontics. This unique process uses tried-and-true techniques with a modern twist to give you excellent results in less time. Because your orthodontic treatment time is shorter, the procedure is more comfortable and hygienic, so your smile will stay healthy.
