Since they are clear, and tooth colored the brackets are discreet Six-Month Smile makeovers are virtually invisible to people nearby. The average case takes just six months.

  • How does it work?

    The teeth are guided by the gentle forces of the memory wire to a level well-aligned position which not only straightens the teeth but also restores a proper, dental arch.

Most patients will need 3-7 adjustments depending on your specific needs.
