Questions about Six Month Smiles in Leicester?
How does Six Month Smiles work?
Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to gently move your front teeth into a straighter position. It focuses on the teeth that show when you smile — not on changing your bite — which is why treatment can often be quicker than traditional braces.
Is Six Month Smiles cheaper than Invisalign?
It can be, depending on your case. Six Month Smiles is often more affordable because treatment is shorter and focused on fewer teeth. We’ll always give you a clear breakdown of costs for both options so you can make an informed decision.
Is it really done in six months?
For many people, yes. Most cases take between 4 and 9 months, depending on how much movement is needed. We’ll give you an accurate estimate once we’ve seen your teeth.
Who is Six Month Smiles best for?
It’s ideal for adults and older teens who want cosmetic straightening — fixing crooked, gappy, or uneven front teeth. It’s not designed for major bite changes, but it’s a great option for subtle, visible improvements.
Will people notice I’m wearing braces?
Not easily. The brackets are clear and the wires are tooth-coloured, so they’re much less visible than traditional braces — especially in day-to-day conversation.
