What Are Clear Braces?
Though many people may want beautiful, straight teeth, they may put off treatment due to concerns about wearing metal brackets. Traditional metal braces do get the job done, but they can be unsightly. Cleaning can also be a challenge with braces that do not come off, making brushing and flossing more difficult. At Martin Dentistry in Indianapolis, IN, patients can have a beautiful, new smile without traditional metal braces using Six Month Smiles®. Cosmetic and general dentists Drs. Martin, Martin, and Marshall can help patients determine which treatment is best for their needs.
Key benefits of Six Month Smiles:
- Average treatment time of six months
- Special clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that blend into the natural smile
- Fast and efficient dental visits using the special Six Month Smiles Patient Tray Kits
- Low force means comfortable treatment
- Often more affordable than traditional orthodontics

What to Expect from Clear Braces
For fast teeth straightening, Six Month Smiles uses clear, low-impact braces to gently push the teeth into place using traditional orthodontic methods. The braces remain on the patient's teeth at all times, but the clear brackets and tooth-colored wires allow them to appear almost invisible. After the braces are removed in six months, the patient will wear a retainer to prevent the teeth from shifting back.
Treatment Aftercare
Patients should continue to visit Martin Dentistry once a year for a dental exam and twice a year for a professional dental cleaning to ensure their new, straight smile remains healthy and bright. At the dental exam, the dentist will check to make sure the teeth have not shifted out of alignment. A good home oral care routine is also important, including brushing twice a day and flossing.
