General information about Six Month Smile
Achieve a straighter, more confident smile in as little as six months with Six Month Smiles at Vogue Dental.
Six Month Smiles is a discreet orthodontic system designed to straighten the teeth that show most when you smile. Unlike traditional braces, which move all the teeth and jaw into new positions, Six Month Smiles focuses primarily on the front teeth, making it a faster and more cosmetic-driven solution for suitable patients. The braces use clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, helping them blend naturally with your teeth for a subtle appearance throughout treatment.
Comfortable to wear and easy to maintain, this treatment is ideal for adults seeking an efficient way to correct mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or uneven teeth without committing to long-term orthodontics. With its targeted approach and predictable results, Six Month Smiles offers a convenient path to a beautifully aligned smile in a shorter timeframe.

Questions you may have about this treatment
Six Month Smiles is ideal for patients who want to straighten their teeth quickly and discreetly. It is particularly effective for crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, and mild to moderate alignment issues affecting the front teeth. It can also help correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites (where the teeth don’t touch when biting down), and overjets (where the upper front teeth protrude).
Because it focuses mainly on the teeth visible when you smile, this treatment is especially popular with adults who want fast cosmetic results, such as for weddings, professional reasons, or special occasions. Suitability will be confirmed during a consultation at Vogue Dental.
Your journey begins with a consultation to confirm whether Six Month Smiles is right for you. If suitable, we will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a specialist dental laboratory where your custom brace is designed using the Six Month Smiles tray kit technique.
Once ready, your clear braces will be fitted to the appropriate teeth. You will attend monthly appointments so we can monitor your progress and make small adjustments as needed. After treatment is complete, your braces will be removed, revealing your new, straighter smile.
As the name suggests, most patients complete treatment in around six months, although this can vary depending on the starting position of the teeth and the complexity of the case. Some patients finish sooner, while others may need slightly longer. Because the system focuses on cosmetic tooth alignment rather than full bite correction, results are often achieved much faster than with traditional braces.
You may experience some pressure or mild discomfort when the braces are first fitted or adjusted, which is normal with any orthodontic treatment. This usually settles within a few days and can be managed with standard pain relief if needed. The brackets and wires are designed to be lightweight and discreet, making them more comfortable than traditional metal braces for many patients.
As with all orthodontic treatments, we strongly recommend wearing a retainer once your braces are removed. This helps prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original position and ensures your results last long-term. We will advise you on the most suitable type of retainer and how often it should be worn to protect your new smile.
Even if you are registered with another dentist, you can still attend Vogue Dental for Six Month Smiles or any of our cosmetic and orthodontic treatments. We welcome patients from Bromley, Orpington, Sidcup, Foxbury, Avery Hill, Bexleyheath, Bexley, Beckenham, Elmstead, Swanley, Kent, and surrounding London areas.
