A Smarter Way to Straight Teeth
It's no secret that everyone wants that perfect smile, but that doesn't just mean having sparkling white teeth. For many, straight teeth with no gaps and healthy gums are something we long for. However, many people are put off by the seemingly lengthy time required to achieve the smile they've always wanted. This means that thousands of people across the country avoid the dentist, but why?
Now more so than ever before, modern dentistry allows us to achieve what was once deemed impossible. Traditionally, conventional braces would be worn for 2 years in order to straighten teeth. However, it is now possible to have perfectly straight teeth in as little as 6 months! Six Month Braces are now one of our most popular treatments here at Seapoint Clinic, which means we are one of the most experienced clinics in delivering natural looking smiles in record time.
The added benefit of Six Month Braces is that we can offer both metal and see through braces. By opting for see through braces, you can undergo treatment without people even noticing you have braces, they are that discreet! This treatment focuses solely on the front teeth, meaning they are for cosmetic appearance only. If you require your back teeth or bite adjusted, conventional braces will be necessary.

Six Month Braces
Can anyone get 6 Month Braces?
Unfortunately no. As they focus on correcting any issues with the front teeth, any over-crowding of the back teeth and overbite issues cannot be fixed with six month braces.
How can treatment work so quickly?
As Six Month Braces solely targets a certain amount of teeth, results can be achieved far quicker than traditional braces. By aligning certain teeth, the pressure required is more specific to that area as opposed to spread across your entire mouth. However, the pressure used is barely noticeable and many of our staff have had Six Month Braces treatment themselves!
Are they really unnoticeable?
As Six Month Braces can be made using see-through or white braces, they are far less noticeable than traditional braces. By consisting of clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, they look much more natural.
