Confused over duration taken for smile treatment
Q. Hi, I visited an orthodontist in Cambridge who was very helpful. He said my teeth have an 8mm gap from top to bottom, they are also quite crowded at the top.So i would have to have 2 teeth extracted. The answer to straightening my teeth was take 2 teeth out one each side at the top (premolars)and then have a fixed brace for 18 months. I am quite happy with his answers to my questions.The cost was £2800 which i thought was reasonable. When i got home i looked into it more on the internet and found out about 6 month smiles. Would that be more suitable for me. The orthodonist i saw does’nt fit 6 month smiles.I guess he knows about the procedure and probably thought it wasn’t suitable for me, but would it be worth me making an appointment with yourself or someone nearer to my town to see if that treatment would be better.
A. Thanks for your questions, it sounds like you could be a candidate for the six month smiles treatment. However it would be impossible to say for certain without a consultation. I would recommend that you search for a certified six month smiles provider and visit them for a consultation. If you decide the treatment is not for you, you can still proceed with the Orthodontists recommendation, so will have lost nothing. I hope this helps.
Many Thanks
