What are 6 Month Smiles?

6 Month Smiles is a series of clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires that gently align the front six teeth — the ones most visible when you smile. Treatment is delivered by a trained general dentist in St Albans and is only offered for cases that can realistically be completed within the short timeframe. It is ideal for mild to moderate cosmetic situations, not complex bite corrections.

Benefits of 6 Month Smiles

  • Short treatment time — typically 4 to 9 months
  • Discreet tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets
  • Lower cost than aligners, lingual braces or veneers
  • Comfortable due to lighter forces and a shorter overall treatment
  • Fewer appointments compared to conventional longer brace treatments

Cost in St Albans
