Short-Term Braces



Some smiles have more structural flaws than others. While some may need upwards of two years of orthodontic treatment to correct severe issues, other may not need a long time at all. If you are looking to correct a few minor to moderate orthodontic flaws, you might want to talk to our 6 month braces dentist.

6 month braces are called such because that is generally how long they require to show full results. They work just like regular treatment with braces works, with brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire threaded to them. The wires are periodically tightened throughout treatment in order to pull the teeth into place.

This treatment can address minor cases of gapping, crowding, and crooked teeth. Any issues with bite misalignment or rotated teeth will likely be best corrected with a full form of treatment. Many patients are interested in this option as a way to perfect their smile before a major life event, such as a wedding, reunion, or graduation. You can also talk to our Rocklin orthodontists about this treatment as part of a smile makeover.

If you believe your smile could benefit from 6 month braces, schedule a consultation appointment today.
