Straightening smiles in California with six month braces

Are you embarrassed by your smile? Are you the grumpy-looking one in every photo, because you're hiding crooked teeth? Drs. Alex and Nina Basti, of Mission Viejo, California, have a solution. Six Month Smiles is a revolutionary orthodontic system that achieves fast results with discreet braces.

What's different about Six Month Smiles

Crooked teeth can be detrimental to your self-esteem, social interactions, personal life, and even professional success. Although making esthetic improvements to your smile is important on several levels, many adults are unwilling to wear braces for purely cosmetic reasons. Even considering the fact that straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease, many avoid braces. “Metal mouth” can be more embarrassing than crooked teeth, and traditional orthodontics can take years to complete.

With Six Month Smiles, the length of treatment is measured in months, not years. As the name implies, average treatment time with these braces is just six months, sometimes less! Does that mean you will be wearing metal braces for a few months? No! The brackets are clear, and the wire is tooth colored, so that when you smile, people will notice your smile, not your braces.

How Six Month Smiles works

The design of these braces is very similar to the metal variety; brackets are bonded to your teeth, with a wire attached to them. However, traditional braces are meant to correct bite problems, jaw development, severe malocclusion, and all crooked teeth. This is a slow process, and largely unnecessary when you only want cosmetic straightening. Six Months Smiles braces target your front (visible) teeth, eliminating extra steps.

Are you a good candidate?

Six Month smiles are not appropriate for adolescents, or for correcting severe orthodontic issues. However, we also offer Invisalign clear aligners, which can correct most orthodontic problems, with no metal in your mouth. For those who need or prefer metal braces, we provide an advanced version of this traditional orthodontic. Today's metal braces are lightweight, comfortable, and broken wires are rare.
