At Advanced Dental, Dr. Mike Maroon and Dr. Jadee Abbott offer the innovative 6-Month Smiles system, a fast and discreet way to achieve a straight, beautiful smile. Designed for adults with mild to moderate alignment issues, 6-Month Smiles can straighten your teeth in as little as six months. Patients in Berlin and Cromwell, CT, can enjoy the benefits of a quick and effective orthodontic treatment with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

What is 6-Month Smiles?

6-Month Smiles is a short-term orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting the visible front teeth (the "social six"). Using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, 6-Month Smiles provides an aesthetic solution for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. This system is ideal for those who want to correct crowding, gaps, or slight misalignment issues quickly and efficiently.

Benefits of 6-Month Smiles

The 6-Month Smiles system offers several advantages over traditional braces and other orthodontic treatments:

  • Short Treatment Time: As the name suggests, most patients achieve their desired results in approximately six months.
  • Discreet Appearance: Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires make this system much less noticeable than metal braces, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
  • Comfortable: The system uses low-force pressure to gently shift teeth, making it more comfortable than traditional braces.
  • Targeted Treatment: Since 6-Month Smiles focuses on the front teeth, it provides faster results compared to comprehensive orthodontic treatments.

The 6-Month Smiles Process

When you choose 6-Month Smiles at Advanced Dental, your journey to a straighter smile includes the following steps:

  1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Maroon or Dr. Abbott will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if 6-Month Smiles is the right treatment for you. They’ll also explain the process and answer any questions you have.
  2. Custom Treatment Plan: After determining you’re a candidate, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan using digital scanning to ensure precise measurements and accurate results.
  3. Treatment: Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires will be carefully placed on your teeth. These will apply gentle pressure to guide your teeth into their desired positions over the next several months.
  4. Follow-Up Appointments: You’ll visit our Berlin or Cromwell office for periodic adjustments and to monitor your progress.
  5. Completion & Retainers: Once your treatment is complete, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their new position, preserving your new smile.

6-Month Smiles vs. Traditional Braces and Clear Aligners

While both traditional braces and clear aligners can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, 6-Month Smiles is designed specifically for cosmetic improvements to the front teeth. Here’s how it compares:

  • Traditional Braces: These can take 18-24 months to fully straighten the teeth and correct bite issues. 6-Month Smiles is faster and more discreet for patients who only need cosmetic corrections.
  • Clear Aligners: Aligners like Invisalign are removable and can address both cosmetic and functional concerns. However, 6-Month Smiles works faster and is fixed, so you don’t have to worry about compliance or losing aligners.
