We will send the impressions to the 6 Month Smiles processing centre, from where a 6 Month Smiles technician will take up the work.
\nA stone model of all your teeth will be created and 6 month smiles clear brackets will be placed on the model teeth to simulate bracket placement in the mouth and the measurements recorded. Using these measurements, a custom bonding tray is fabricated so that the brackets can be placed in those exact same positions by your dentist. A 6 Month Smiles patient tray kit (PTK) comprising the custom bonding trays, is then sent over by the lab to your dentist for initiation of the treatment.
\nThe unique selling point of the patient tray kit (PTK) is the customized bonding trays, which can be used to pre-position the 6 Month Smiles brackets, for easy and one-step seating. The dentist only has to etch the teeth, coat the adhesive provided in the PTK on the brackets and position the custom bonding tray on the teeth.
\nOnce the adhesive is set and the brackets are securely attached, the tooth-coloured wires and elastic ties can be placed and adjusted. The wires used in the 6 month Smiles Treatment have shape memory property and align the teeth into preset positions. Wire bending which is seen in conventional braces is not required. However, monthly wire adjustments and tightening, similar to conventional braces, need to be done. At the end of 6 months, once the desired alignment has been achieved in the patient’s mouth, the wires and brackets are removed and retainers are provided.” font_size=”lg:18″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\t\t
