6 Month Smiles. Are You Moving My Teeth Faster Than Normal Braces? Will It Damage My Teeth?
Six Month Smiles™ Fairfax uses very light and safe forces to move teeth at the same rate as traditional braces. We are not moving them faster. The difference between Six Month Smiles Cosmetic Braces and traditional braces is that we are simply ending treatment sooner. Your front teeth (that show when you smile) move faster than your back teeth. Traditional braces take longer because there is an additional goal of perfecting the bite in your back teeth. 6 Month Cosmetic Braces is not concerned with perfecting the bite in your back teeth, so we simply stop once the front teeth are positioned in a cosmetically pleasing arrangement. So, the rate of tooth movement is the same, but the total treatment time is faster - about 6 months. That's the difference in a nutshell!
So, there is no more chance for damage to your teeth or roots with 6 Month Smiles Cosmetic Braces than there is with traditional braces.
