Six Month Smiles®

Six Month Smiles is one of our favorite new treatment options for adults and teenagers looking for a fast way to straighten teeth. This short term ortho system utilizes clear brackets and natural tooth colored wires, and although they are not as “clear” as clear aligners, they don’t stand out and the results are nothing short of amazing.  We found much better compliance simply because patients don’t have to swap out aligners during the treatment process.  The use of wires and brackets also give us much more control of the tooth movement, resulting in successful treatment a shorter time frame.

Six Month Smiles® can:

• Straighten your teeth in a shorter time frame

• Help you save money, since it’s less expensive than Invisalign

• Close eye-catching gaps

• Correct overlap/crowding issue

Something For Everyone

While this treatment works for 90% of straightening cases, some tooth movements may not be possible. Or you may simply prefer the security of fixed braces. More choices than ever exist for many procedures in dentistry allowing customized care for your situation. Dr. Herring can help you discover the path to a straighter smile.

You may discuss adding whitening to your plan, removing years of yellow stain accumulation. In some cases, the beauty of porcelain lifts a straight smile to another level or may even offer an alternative to orthodontics. And you may be pleasantly surprised to find a flexible payment option or undiscovered insurance benefits that make treatment closer than you think.
