Whether you have an overbite, underbite, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or over spaced teeth, you’ve probably heard of Six Month Smiles. But for those of you who haven’t, here’s a quick introduction.
This treatment is a short term orthodontic treatment that is used to align teeth, for all adults and teens over 16 years of age. It helps with a wide range of common dental issues, like:
Six Month Smiles offers a range of clear braces and invisible aligners, that help straighten the front six teeth in an average of just 6 months. This is a popular and highly sought-after treatment for most adults these days. And not just because of the “6-month average treatment time” for a flawless smile.
Or because they offer discreet clear braces with tooth-coloured wires, that save you months of extra self-conscious smiles. But because it’s one of the most affordable dental treatment programs for that level of quality. So let’s cut to the chase.
Well, like most dental treatments the price varies depending on the scale and complexity of treatment you need. But one can get a Six Month Smiles treatment starting at just £2500, and going up to £3800. This estimated price covers everything from the start to the end of your dental treatment. It includes:
While you have a better picture of the costs involved, you’re probably still left wondering, “Is Six Month Smiles worth it?” Well, the choice is really up to you (and your dentist). But we’re going to give you a more comprehensive picture that might help you make a more informed choice.
Six Month Smiles vs Metal Braces vs Invisalign vs Lingual Braces. To ensure we give you a clear picture, we will be comparing the cost, treatment style, treatment time, and effectiveness.
Traditional metal braces are still one of the most popular brace options in spite of the grey metal standing out on your pearly whites. What this treatment lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for in impact, success rate, and cost. A treatment with classic metal braces can take anywhere from 6 months (in very mild cases) to 24 months to straighten teeth. But, it can be used to treat even the most complex cases, unlike Six Month Smiles.
And unlike Six Month Smiles, which fixes only the front few teeth, metal braces fix all the teeth, and the overall bite of the patient. As for the cost, a standard metal brace treatment usually costs between £1500 – £2500. They are the most affordable solution in this range, as long as you are willing to compromise on visual appeal and have the patience.
Invisalign is a leading range of transparent, plastic aligners that appear almost invisible when worn. Apart from that, they are removable and easy to clean too. But the average Invisalign treatment needs around 12 months to be fully effective. And again the Invisalign treatment corrects full-mouth orthodontic problems, while Six Month Smiles remains more cosmetic in nature. With the well-designed, transparent aligners comes a higher price tag too. An Invisalign treatment can cost you anywhere from £2,500 to £5,500.
These braces are perhaps the most discreet and unconventional braces of the lot. While they have similar wiring as regular braces, they sit behind the teeth instead of in front.
This means, even when you are in close quarters with other people, your braces will not be visible at all. Lingual braces can also be used to treat the more complicated cases, unlike Six Month Smiles and Invisalign. But treatment times for lingual braces are also much longer than that of Six Month Smiles. It can take anywhere from 1 year to 2 years for the entire treatment to be completed with the incognito lingual braces.
In terms of cost, they rack up the biggest bills amongst all the mentioned types of braces. Even the most simple cases will cost around £2,000 – £3,000 in the UK. More complicated needs or custom brands can send the cost spiralling up, from £4,000 to even £10,000. So with all this information in mind, whether a Six Month Smiles treatment is worth it or not – really depends on your specific dental needs, budget, time available and preferences.
