Why El Dorado Hills Patients Choose Six Month Smiles
Patients choose Six Month Smiles because it delivers noticeable results on a timeline that fits real life. Whether you have a wedding, reunion, or milestone event coming up, this treatment moves quickly without disrupting your daily routine. The system uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that are less noticeable than traditional metal braces, so you can feel confident during treatment. And because the focus is on the teeth that show when you smile, you get the improvement you want without the commitment of comprehensive orthodontics.
How Six Month Smiles Works
Step-by-Step: Your Treatment Timeline
Your journey starts with a consultation at our practice. We take digital impressions and photos to map out your current alignment and your desired outcome. A custom set of braces is created for your specific case. You wear the braces for approximately six months, with periodic adjustments at our office to guide your teeth into place. After active treatment, a retainer helps keep your smile in position.
What Six Month Smiles Can and Cannot Address
Six Month Smiles is designed for cosmetic alignment of the front teeth. It works well for crowding, gaps, and minor rotations. It cannot correct bite problems (like overbite, underbite, or crossbite) or move back teeth in a significant way. For patients who need functional bite correction, we may recommend Invisalign or traditional orthodontics instead.
Six Month Smiles vs. Your Other Orthodontic Options
The table below compares three common approaches so you can see which one fits your needs.
| Feature | Six Month Smiles | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment duration | About 6 months | 12–18 months | 18–24 months |
| Visibility | Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires | Clear aligners (nearly invisible) | Metal brackets and wires |
| Cost range | Moderate | Moderate to higher | Moderate to higher |
| Candidacy | Adults with mild to moderate front tooth crowding or gaps | Teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues | Patients of all ages with complex alignment and bite issues |
| Focus area | Cosmetic front teeth only | Full arch (can address some bite issues) | Full arch and bite correction |
If your goal is a faster cosmetic improvement, Six Month Smiles may be the right choice. If you need more comprehensive alignment, Invisalign or traditional options could be a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good candidates are adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or rotation of the front teeth. This treatment is designed for cosmetic improvement and works best when bite alignment is not a primary concern. A consultation at Mantena Dental will confirm your candidacy.
Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that blend with your teeth, focusing only on the visible front arch. Traditional braces move all teeth and correct bite issues, often requiring 18 to 24 months. Six Month Smiles is strictly cosmetic and much faster.
Over time, misaligned front teeth can gradually shift more, causing uneven wear, enamel damage, and increased self-consciousness about your smile. Addressing the issue sooner with a short-term solution like Six Month Smiles can prevent these problems and protect your confidence.
