Six Month Smiles is a short-term orthodontic treatment that uses clear and tooth-coloured brackets and wires to discreetly straighten teeth, focusing mainly on the front teeth that show when you smile.
Treatment typically takes around six months, although this can vary depending on how much movement is needed.
Small, tooth-coloured brackets and wires are fitted to your teeth and gently move them into a straighter position over a shorter period than traditional braces.
Six Month Smiles braces are designed to be as discreet as possible. The clear and tooth-coloured brackets blend in with your teeth, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Six Month Smiles is ideal for adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or crooked front teeth. It’s not suitable for more complex orthodontic cases, which your dentist will assess during a consultation.
You may feel some mild pressure or tenderness when the braces are first fitted or adjusted. This usually settles within a few days and is generally very manageable.
Most patients don’t notice any change to their speech. Any minor changes usually resolve quickly as you adjust to the braces.
You’ll need to avoid very hard or sticky foods to prevent damaging the brackets or wires. Your dentist will give you full guidance on what to avoid.
Good oral hygiene is essential. You’ll need to brush carefully around the brackets, floss daily, and attend regular check-ups and hygiene appointments.
After treatment, you’ll be given a retainer to wear to keep your teeth in their new position. Wearing your retainer as advised is key to maintaining your results.
Yes. Six Month Smiles focuses on cosmetic tooth alignment and works more quickly using discreet materials. Traditional braces are better suited for complex bite and alignment issues.
The cost varies depending on your individual treatment plan. A consultation will allow your dentist to confirm suitability and provide an accurate quote.

Smilelign® is a clear orthodontic aligner system that has pioneered the integration of advanced software with 3-D CADCAM technology to produce invisible aligners and highly precise treatment plans. Using the latest technology on the UK dental market, Smilelign® produces predictable results through wearing progressive aligners.
We understand your desire to improve your smile without the embarrassment of traditional braces, with their metal wires and teeth bands. Smilelign® is an exceptional adult orthodontic solution that allows you to pursue straightening your crooked or gapped teeth discreetly. The only thing anyone will notice is how your smile becomes more and more beautiful each day.
Your dentist will conduct an evaluation of your unique teeth straightening issues to determine if clear aligners are the recommended treatment option. Utilising a 3-D scanner, your treatment plan is developed from an analysis of the range of movement required to effect optimum results.
Once the number of aligners necessary to complete treatment is determined, they will be created based on the precision 3-D digital images.
A unique element of the Smilelign® clear aligner straightening system is the Pre-Aligner, which is a clear aligner made of the same high quality materials as your treatment aligners, but are “passive-fit”. This means that they are not designed to move your teeth, but rather give you the opportunity to experience how it will feel to wear your treatment aligners. This pre-treatment ‘trial’ usage can allow you to more quickly adapt to your upcoming treatment period.
Your Smilelign® treatment will consist of wearing multiple clear aligners that will progressively move your teeth to the prescribed alignment. Each aligner is worn 2-3 weeks – or until the aligner slips on and off with ease, as your teeth will completely match the aligner’s configuration. Treatment times can range from 6 to 12 months, depending upon your unique straightening needs. Your clear aligners straighten your teeth through small, incremental movements that allow you to experience your treatment plan comfortably.
From your initial teeth straightening consultation and evaluation through to the completion of your treatment, you will have the continual support of your dentist and our professional staff to ensure that you are informed, comfortable, and happy with your treatment.
Smilelign® clear aligners offer you the ability to undertake straightening your teeth with the confidence that you will look your best throughout your treatment – and at completion will enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, healthy smile.
