How Do 6 Month Braces Work?

Six month braces offer fast orthodontic results to patients whose bite irregularities are minor. While the construction of six month braces is similar to that of traditional braces, they work in just one-quarter to one-half the time. Here is more about how these braces work and what they can do.

 

Basic Workings of Six Month Braces

 

Brackets and wires are the main components of six month braces. At the beginning of treatment, our orthodontists in Rocklin bond the brackets to the fronts of the teeth. Wires are threaded through these brackets and tightened appropriately. Throughout the six-month treatment period, patients return to have their braces tightened again.

 

What Six Month Braces Can Do

 

Six month braces are designed to work on minor forms of the same issues that traditional braces correct. These issues include slight overcrowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and gaps. Because of their fast action and range of abilities, six month braces can be ideal for patients preparing for a special event or experiencing orthodontic relapse.

 

Patients who need only minor orthodontic adjustments can save significant time and money by choosing six month braces over traditional braces. At a consultation with our 6 month braces dentist in Rocklin, patients can find out if they are candidates for this treatment.
