Q: How can teeth straighten in as little as six months?
A: The Six month braces" technique employs the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to move your teeth quickly and safely. The key components of the treatment are the use of special nickel titanium wires and a primary focus of moving the teeth that show when you smile.

A: No! With Six month braces" we can use tooth-colored braces that are barely visible. The wires can be tooth-colored as well.

A: Six month braces" use low force to move teeth more comfortably. Six month braces" utilizes standard orthodontic mechanics, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.
