Brace Yourself. Winter is Coming!
Six Month Braces

During the winter months, most of us spend a little more time indoors keeping out of the weather. Why not use some of that spare time to correct crowded, crooked, and gapped teeth?  Braces can help fix these problems, but most people don’t want a mouthful of metal for two years or more. This is why South Tampa Smiles offers Six Month Braces to those who want to straighten their teeth and have a more beautiful smile in a fraction of the time.

We can straighten your teeth in only a matter of months. Using a series of invisible retainers instead of traditional metal brackets. Six Month Braces gets its name because most people obtain their desired results within that time. It may take a little less or more than 6 months, depending on the extent of repairs needed. Traditional braces can take two years or more to get the same results that Six Month Braces will also also achieve.

Traditional braces have metal wires that becomes loose after a few weeks and must be tightened by your dentist causing soreness and pain. The Six Month Braces use a memory wire that provides constant pressure during your treatment. As your mouth warms the wire, it tries to pull itself back into its original position. This aligns your teeth in the process. The brackets are clear and less noticeable on your teeth. Also, six month braces are more affordable than traditional braces due to the shortened treatment span.

Give your confidence a boost this winter! Don’t keep putting off a more beautiful smile because you don’t want unsightly and painful metal brackets. Contact South Tampa Smiles at (813) 289-0560 if you have been wanting a straighter smile or for more information about the Six Month Braces treatment.
