It may seem odd to consider the advantages of any kind of brace or aligner.
Of course, in the long term, you get a straighter, healthier looking smile but in the short term, is there really anything good about them?
When most people think of the word brace, they immediately picture the traditional, metal orthodontic aligner. Let’s face it, that brace is far from flattering although it is highly effective. If you are an adult with misaligned teeth, this style of brace is probably going to be the lowest on your list of braces you will consider.
Luckily, in adult dentistry today, there is a myriad of orthodontic treatments to choose from and many of them offer an accelerated treatment time too – perfect! This article will explore one of the rising stars of adult orthodontics; the brace known as the Six Month Smiles in Northern Ireland and discuss six advantages of this aligner over other options.
Faster
Well, the treatment time is in the name!
Six Month Smiles in Northern Ireland is a simple and fast treatment, to help correct misalignments and protrusions in under six months.
While this type of brace may not be suited to everyone who has misaligned teeth, when you use this brace to get that straighter smile your treatment could be completed in under six months; perfect if you want a more appealing smile for an imminent wedding!
Discreet
This style of brace is also extremely visually discreet.
Unlike traditional braces, it is fitted to the front of your teeth with tooth-coloured or clear brackets and has a thin wire across the front. This, while not completely invisible, is hard to see once fitted and will help to provide you with a more resilient orthodontic brace.
Custom fitted
Fitted specifically to create your smile, this brace is not uncomfortable and aims to keep any discomfort to a minimum.
This allows your dentist to target treatment with this brace specifically to your unique, clinical requirements.
Comfortable
What’s the catch? Is the treatment with this aligner really uncomfortable? No!
As it is custom-fitted and the brace itself is exceedingly thin, any tightenings that occur throughout the treatment should not create prolonged discomfort. If you are concerned about how much pain you are experiencing post tightening, contact your dentist immediately.
Also, as the brackets are smaller than traditional braces, there should be no uncomfortable rubbing against the inner cheek or tongue during the day or while you sleep.
Precise
More targeted than invisible braces, this aligner allows your dentist to resolve more complex dental issues quickly and effectively. If you have a crossbite with spacing and a single protruding tooth this brace is the perfect fit to straighten those crooked teeth out!
Cost-effective
Faster treatment time means less overall cost.
As you will only require check-ups, tightenings and other services for six months (or less), then that is all you will pay for!
