Transform Your Smile in Just Six Months with Six Month Smiles® at Post Falls Family Dental

by Dr. Erin Elliott | 23 December, 2024

Your smile is one of your defining features—it conveys confidence, warmth, and joy. But you're not alone if you’ve spent your life hiding your smile due to crooked or misaligned teeth. At Post Falls Family Dental, we’re proud to offer Six Month Smiles®, an innovative and efficient orthodontic solution designed for adults who want a straighter smile without the lengthy treatment time or visible braces associated with traditional orthodontics. In as little as six months, you could smile confidently and easily.

What Is Six Month Smiles®?

Six Month Smiles® is a modern orthodontic treatment tailored for adults who want to enhance the appearance of their smile quickly and discreetly. Unlike traditional braces that may take years to achieve results, Six Month Smiles® focuses exclusively on the teeth that are visible when you smile, ensuring faster and more predictable outcomes.

This system uses Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making the treatment less noticeable. By applying gentle, low-force pressure, Six Month Smiles® moves your teeth into their ideal positions comfortably and efficiently.

Benefits of Six Month Smiles® at Post Falls Family Dental

Six Month Smiles® offers several advantages that make it an ideal choice for patients looking for a quicker, more discreet path to a straighter smile.

1. Faster Treatment Times

Traditional braces often require 18 to 24 months to achieve results. In contrast, Six Month Smiles® focuses on the cosmetic alignment of your front teeth, allowing treatment to be completed in an average of just six months.

2. Discreet Appearance

With clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, Six Month Smiles® is a subtle alternative to metal braces. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.

3. Comfortable Experience

Using low-force pressure, Six Month Smiles® is designed with your comfort in mind. The treatment is gentle on your teeth and gums, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or irritation.

4. Affordable Option

Six Month Smiles® is often more affordable than traditional braces, clear aligners like Invisalign®, or cosmetic procedures such as veneers. It’s an effective and cost-efficient way to achieve your dream smile.

5. Improved Oral Health

Crooked or crowded teeth can be challenging to clean, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. By straightening your teeth with Six Month Smiles®, you’ll make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, benefiting your long-term dental health.

Who Is a Candidate for Six Month Smiles®?

Six Month Smiles® is an excellent solution for adults who are primarily concerned with the cosmetic alignment of their front teeth. It’s perfect for individuals who:

Have crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth
Feel self-conscious about their smile
Want a faster alternative to traditional braces
Desire a more discreet orthodontic option
Are preparing for a special event, such as a wedding or professional milestone
