Six Month Smiles
Discreet short-term orthodontics designed to straighten the teeth that show most when you smile, in as little as six months.
Fast, Discreet Teeth Straightening
Six Month Smiles is a cosmetic orthodontic system that uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to straighten your front teeth. Unlike conventional braces, which address bite as well as alignment and take much longer, Six Month Smiles focuses exclusively on the cosmetic zone: the teeth that show when you smile.
Treatment typically takes four to nine months, with an average of six. It's a highly effective option for adults who have mild to moderate crowding or spacing and want quick, discreet results without aligners.
Six Month Smiles is ideal if you
- —Have visible crowding, spacing or misalignment of front teeth
- —Want a discreet, fixed brace option
- —Prefer a quicker result than traditional orthodontics
- —Want to improve your smile before a special occasion

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Six Month Smiles work so fast?
Six Month Smiles focuses tooth movement on the teeth that show when you smile, the front six to eight teeth. By targeting only these cosmetic teeth and using gentle, constant force, movement is faster and more comfortable than comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Are the braces really invisible?
They're very discreet. The brackets are clear and the wires are tooth-coloured, so most people won't notice them at normal conversational distances.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Six Month Smiles is ideal for adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or alignment issues. It's not designed for complex bite correction. We'll assess your suitability at a free consultation.
Will it affect my speech?
There may be a short adjustment period of a few days where you notice the braces slightly, but most patients adapt very quickly.
What happens after treatment?
We provide retainers to maintain your results. Wearing your retainer as instructed is essential, without it, teeth naturally tend to shift back over time.
