Six Month Smiles is an orthodontic alignment method that claims to achieve straighter teeth much faster than techniques that rely on traditional braces. It utilizes standard orthodontic mechanics with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of the teeth rather than their bite position.

Six Month Smiles is normally provided by general dentists, not orthodontists. It utilizes clear braces with tooth-colored wires that make it almost invisible.

The average treatment period for the Six Month Smiles system is six months, hence its name. Depending on the patient's orthodontic issues, it can take between 4-9 months, however.

While the treatment period can be much shorter than traditional systems, Six Month Smiles usually only concentrates on the most visible teeth in the front. This fact means there is less pressure placed on the teeth, which potentially reduces the risk of root damage. Overall, the benefit of the Six Month Smiles system is that it is a discrete alternative, has a shorter treatment period, is affordable, and reduces discomfort.

However, the downsides are that it can only target the front teeth and not the entire mouth. This could lead to future problems with the bite and jaw.

Patients need to understand the treatment's limitations and limit their expectations to results that are primarily cosmetic. As with any teeth-straightening treatment, patients need to wear a retainer to maintain the straighter position of their teeth.
