Advantages of 6 Month Braces

Six-month braces are quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional braces for patients who do not need extensive bite correction. Because these braces take far less time to straighten teeth compared to many alternatives, recipients enjoy major benefits related to comfort, convenience and affordability.

What Advantages Are Offered by Six-Month Braces?

Not only do 6 month braces give patients results more quickly, but they also provide a better aesthetic experience, more comfort and a smaller investment. In contrast to metal braces, which easily stand out to onlookers, six-month braces use clear brackets that are discreet. Tightening is fast, which minimizes discomfort. Finally, shorter treatment time costs less than traditional orthodontics.

What Can Six-Month Braces Correct?

This treatment can correct most bite irregularities addressed by conventional braces. These include crowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, openbite and spacing issues. However, an exam is necessary to determine whether specific problems can be addressed with six-month braces.

For eligible patients, there is no need to wear braces for up to two years when results can be obtained in just six months. This option is also available for many patients who cannot wear invisible braces. To learn more about six-month braces, patients can schedule a consultation with our Rocklin orthodontist.
