FAQs: What are 6 month braces all about?
Q
Can I really have straight teeth
in 6 months?
A Yes! Most adults can have straight
teeth and a smile they are proud of in 6 months.
Q Is this new? I have never heard of this before.
A No a few dentists in the
Midwest have been using this technique
for over 20 years. It is, however, fairly new to Southern California.
We proudly provide SpeedSmiles in our dental office in Orange.
Q
How can teeth be moved so fast?
A We use very light continuous
movements that move your teeth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This moves
teeth
quicker than the heavy interrupted forces of traditional braces.
Q
Can everyone have 6 month braces?
A Most adults can, but there are some
conditions that need more extensive treatment.
Q
This sounds expensive, how much
does this cost?
A The cost of 6 month braces in our
office is much less than half the cost of traditional braces. See our
special for an incredible price. We offer the most competitive pricing throughout Southern California.
Q
Braces are so ugly, do I have to
have a metal mouth?
A No we use tooth colored braces
wires and ties. See what they look like on some of our
patients.
Q
I had braces before and now my
teeth are crowded again - can I have 6 month braces?
A Yes. This
is a perfect use for 6 month braces.
Q
How is this different than the cleat tray braces like
Invisalign?
A 6 month braces aren’t removable so they are
quicker, more
predictable and easier for you to comply. The clear
tray systems like
Invisalign, Clear Correct and
Red, White and Blue take much
longer and take very motivated patients
to succeed.
Q Can I
have my
child treated with 6 month braces?
A We can treat some teenagers that
are 16 or older with 6 month braces.
Younger children are better off with traditional treatment.
Q
Does Dr. Marcus provide regular
braces?
A Yes, for those that aren’t good
candidates for 6 month braces Dr. Marcus provides
comprehensive braces. We use Tip Edge braces, a modern system
that use very light forces.
Q
What is the difference between SpeedSmiles, PowerProx 6 month
Braces and 6 Month Smiles?
A They all involve a similar technique, but are simply branded differently.
