Would six month smile braces take longer time?

Q. Thank you for your very useful earlier advice. With regards to the ‘six month smile’ braces – do they really only take six months or can they end up taking longer? How reliable are they long term, i.e. would my teeth move back afterwards? Many Thanks.

A. Thanks for your questions, the average treatment time for these braces is six months, although some cases can take a little longer. As with all orthodontic treatment, your teeth will naturally want to return to their pre brace position, and so it is necessary to wear a retainer on completion of the treatment. This can be a removable retainer to wear at night, or a fixed retainer, but your dentist will advise you of the best option for you. I hope this will help you.
Kindest Regards
