Six Month Smiles is an adult cosmetic brace system which is fast becoming one of the most popular methods for straightening adults who want straight teeth without having to have years of orthodontic treatment. Our journey at Smile Essential Dental Practice started when Gemma a Leicestershire Dental Nurse at our Narborough road clinic decided to get her teeth straightened. Heres what she said:

“I had always had reasonably straight teeth but as I got older they seemed to get more crowded and then my front teeth started to cross over, unfortunately the first time I noticed how bad it had got was on my wedding photos! To be honest I was quite upset here were the photos of my wedding day with everything looking amazing apart from my teeth! After that I stopped showing my teeth when I had to smile in photos and it kind of made me sad. Being a dental nurse teeth are important to me and I get to be part of patients journeys to improve their smile all the time. To see people’s increase in confidence is one of the best things about my job as a dental nurse. After we completed one particular smile makeover for a woman around my age and how great her teeth now looked I knew I had to do something to sort out my crooked teeth and get my confident smile back. Smile Essential Dentist work closely with a few Leicester Orthodontists (brace specialists) and I went for a couple of consultations to see what options I had to have fixed (train tracks) cosmetic braces but I thought the brace treatment was expensive (nearly £4000!) and for me it was a huge commitment to wear braces for 2 years. I thought the alternative might have been an invisible brace system for adults called Invisalign, but was disheartened again by the cost, the 2 year commitment and the inconvenience of taking them in and out everytime I ate or have a cup of tea! I discussed my disappointment with my dental colleagues and this is where I learnt about a new revolution in straightening teeth called Six Month Smiles. To be honest it sounded to good to be true! Straight teeth in just 6 months and it was cheaper?! But I went for a consultation and as you can see from my video I had the treatment carried out. I started in November 2012 and finished in time for my romantic holiday in May 2013 with my new straight teeth! Ever since the treatment I literally dont stop smiling! I wanted to share my photo from my holiday after the treatment to show just how great my smile makeover has been and how confident I am in smiling for photos now. Six Month Smile was definitely the best option for me. Straighter teeth in just 6 months and a life time of now smiling confidently.”

Six Month Smiles is different from conventional brace systems offered at Orthodontic (braces specialists) Practices, because it works by moving or straightening the teeth that are visible when you smile and not adjusting the bite on the back teeth treatment can be completed anywhere from 4-9 months with the average smile taking 6 months. Watching Gemma’s teeth straighten with this simple yet effective brace system inspired all of the dentist to learn more about this exciting cosmetic treatment and all 3 dentists at Smile Essential Dental Clinic under went the relevant advance training in London and liaising with the Six Month Smiles Specialists so that they could offer this incredible treatment to their Leicester Patients. Six Month Smiles has proved to be very popular and understandably so. As one of Leicestershire’s leading private cosmetic dental practices we like to be at the forefront of new advances in dentistry and Six Month Smiles is certainly changing the face (literally) of the easy way for adults to straighten teeth in dentistry.
