Are you unhappy with your smile or self-conscious and embarrassed to flash your teeth? Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they smile, talk or laugh. It&#8217;s common for an adult who has an imperfect smile to feel stuck, as they don&#8217;t want to wear metal braces or undergo other teeth straightening procedures that can be quite invasive or costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We proudly offer adults the revolutionary Six Month Smiles\u00ae braces at each of our convenient office locations in Brandywine, Hockessin, Middletown, Wilmington, Millsboro, and Ocean View, Delaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Six Month Smiles\u00ae?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six Month Smiles\u00ae are clear, ceramic braces which are aesthetically pleasing to those who are worried about wearing conventional metal braces. Not only are the brackets clear and nearly undetectable, but the wires used with these braces are tooth-colored to provide the wearer with even more discretion when improving their smile! Most people won&#8217;t even notice that you&#8217;re having your teeth straightened when you&#8217;re wearing Six Month Smiles\u00ae, providing complete confidence throughout the short treatment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six Month Smiles\u00ae are changing how adults are having their smiles improved. The tooth-colored wires made of nickel titanium provide the right amount of low force necessary to move teeth into the desired positions. These braces focus on moving the teeth that are visible when you smile and not on correcting your bite pattern. The great news is that the average treatment time is just six months, hence the name Six Month Smiles\u00ae!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact One Of Our Six Offices Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like to find out if you&#8217;re a candidate for Six Month Smiles\u00ae, please contact us to set up an appointment time at our <span id=\"gc-number-0\" class=\"gc-cs-link\" title=\"Call with Google Voice\">Brandywine office at (302) 477-4900, our Hockessin office at (302) 239-5917, our Middletown office at (302) 378-8600, our Wilmington office at (302) 658-9511, our Millsboro office at (302) 934-8005, or our Ocean View office at (302) 537-4500<\/span>.
