Six Month Braces: Explained
Dreamed of having beautiful, straight teeth but don't like the idea of lengthy braces procedures? Tired of hiding your smile in photos? Well, Seapoint Clinic has just the right treatment for you. Thanks to our Six Month Braces, you can have natural looking teeth in as little as six months. This is ideal for those who don’t want to spend 2-3 years wearing braces. Our six month braces plan is by far our most popular treatment, meaning we are highly experienced in this life-changing treatment than any other dental practice in the country. By focusing on the front teeth only, we are able to give a patient a natural looking smile.
Where possible, we don’t try to alter the bite to any significant degree and the results we aim for are purely for cosmetic purposes only. If you are thinking of changing your bite, traditional steel braces may be required which will take longer.
With Six Month Braces, we can offer both see through and conventional metal finish braces. The white braces are tooth coloured and will cost slightly more, but are very discreet. Thanks to their inconspicuous appearance, white braces are almost unnoticeable on patients meaning they are ideal for those who want their braces to be as discreet as possible. We find that many of our patients who come in for Six Month Braces have been previously told by other dental practices that there only option was to wear traditional braces for two years or to opt for veneers. More often than not, this is not the case and a smile can be fixed withing a reasonable period of time.

More so, you can still eat most of the foods you love while wearing cosmetic braces. However, we do recommend avoiding overly sticky foods such as toffee and sweets. Braces can also stain after a while, so it’s best to cut down on staining foods such as coffee, curries and red wine. However, when your braces are adjusted, we change all of the parts that stain and replace them with white/clear ones. Also, Invisalign braces can be removed for eating and therefore does not to to stain and can be cleaned with ease.
In fact, many of our staff at Seapoint have had six month braces done on themselves and are delighted to tell you about their experience.
