What are 6 Month Smiles?

6 Month Smiles is a series of clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires that align the front six teeth — the ones most visible when you smile. Treatment is delivered by a general dentist with specific training, and is only offered for cases that can realistically be completed within six months. It is ideal for mild to moderate cosmetic cases, not complex bite corrections.

Benefits of 6 Month Smiles

  • Short treatment time — typically 4 to 9 months
  • Discreet tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets
  • Lower cost than aligners, lingual braces or veneers
  • Comfortable due to lower forces and shorter treatment
  • Fewer appointments compared to longer braces treatments

Cost in St Albans

6 Month Smiles treatment in St Albans typically costs between £2,150 and £3,250. The exact price depends on complexity. We provide a clear written quote at consultation and 0% finance is available.

Things to consider

  • Only suitable for simple cosmetic cases — not bite corrections
  • Tooth-coloured wires can discolour with poor cleaning
  • Some cases may take slightly longer than six months
  • Retainers are required afterwards to maintain results
