Orthodontic treatment for a growing child is often split into two courses — an early phase to make room, a pause while the adult teeth arrive, then a second phase to finish — with each phase quoted separately. Both teenage cases here had the makings of that. They were treated as one continuous course instead, which is why they ran eighteen months and two years: longer than a single phase, and less than two.

Six Month Smiles is the name of the bracket system. It is not a promise about how long treatment takes. The system is built to align the front teeth; whether we stop there or correct the bite as well is decided case by case, with you. These three were treated comprehensively — the bite included — which is why they took twelve to eighteen months, longer than the name on the system implies.

Every case on this page was treated in this office, by our own doctors. These are photographs of our own patients, published with their permission. They are close-up photographs of teeth — not portraits of faces — so no patient can be identified from them, which is exactly why patients were willing to let us show them.
