Six month smiles

There are many different factors that can affect the aesthetics of your smile and make you unhappy about the look of your teeth. Orthodontics is involved in straightening your teeth and improving the aesthetics of your teeth but also improving your overall oral health in general by addressing the factors which are affecting your smile. Issues with your teeth can include misalignment and crookedness, your teeth may be wonky and point in different directions, or you may have protruding teeth which cause you embarrassment when you smile. Misaligned teeth can also cause bite disorders such as overbite, underbite or crossbite if you have not undergone orthodontic treatment when you were younger. Not only do these issues affect the aesthetics of your smile but also they create hard-to-reach areas in your mouth so even if you think that you are brushing and flossing your teeth effectively bacteria can still build up in those hard to reach areas and lead to the buildup of plaque and the formation of tartar which are are key factors in many complicated and a serious dental issues.

We understand that as an adult, orthodontic treatment that consists of highly visible metal wires and brackets can be off-putting but there are now many different options available. Here at Byfleet Dental, we use Six-month smiles to help improve the aesthetics of your teeth. This is a popular choice of cosmetic Orthodontics at your dentist in West Byfleet and includes two different treatment methods consisting of clear braces and invisible aligners. The braces are discrete and although they consist of wires and brackets, these are matched to the colour of your natural teeth which make them an appealing and attractive alternative to conventional metal braces. Six-month smiles are also used for straightening misaligned teeth and as the name suggests the treatment aims to reach your desired effect in 6 months. This not only helps improve the appearance of your smile but when your teeth are aligned properly brushing and flossing will become more effective and this helps improve your oral health at the same time. Speak to your dentist in West Byfleet to find out more about how six-month smiles can be beneficial to you.
