Six Month Braces Give Patients a Flexible Way to Get a Perfect Smile

adult 6 month braces

In the past, getting crooked or misaligned teeth straightened out for a perfect smile was a painful experience. Getting straight teeth meant wearing braces that consisted of metal brackets, tiny elastic bands, headgear and more. Luckily, orthodontic technology has taken leaps forward in recent years for adults who need a more flexible orthodontic option. Rapid Braces in Brookline has been a offering different types of 6 month adult braces for a number of years so that we can give our patients the most flexible way to get a perfect smile.

More and more adults are choosing Rapid Braces for their orthodontic treatment due to our quick treatment process. Braces have traditionally taken more than two years to get taken off but not with our 6 month braces. With Rapid Braces’ 6 month braces treatment option we are able to complete over 90% of our orthodontic cases in 6 months or less. Adults are able to fit our orthodontic treatment into their busy schedules because of the manageable time commitment.

Another reason why so many adults are getting orthodontic treatment at Rapid Braces is the different types of modern braces alternatives that we offer. Unlike traditional braces, our braces will be tough to notice while you are wearing them and be comfortable to keep on. Lingual or behind the teeth braces are put in behind the teeth so that they can’t be seen from the outside. Behind the teeth braces offer a good amount of control over how your teeth are aligned. Invisible or clear braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear bands so that the braces will blend in with the rest of your mouth. Invisalign, Rapid Braces’ most popular treatment option, straightens teeth using clear aligner plates that must be recast multiple times during treatment to continue nudging your teeth into perfect position. Invisalign aligner trays can be removed at any time to make them the most comfortable braces option available.

Choosing which braces alternative for adults is right for you can be tricky. Every new patient that we see at Rapid Braces starts their treatment with an initial consultation so that Dr. G can get a good feel for how your teeth are aligned and what would be best to get a perfect smile.

Rapid Braces is the Cambridge Invisalign Expert

cambridge invisalign orthodontist

Rapid Braces is a leading provider of the Invisalign orthodontic treatment in the Cambridge area. Invisalign is a method for straightening teeth that cannot be seen from the outside because it is practically invisible. Invisalign treatment utilizes a series of clear plastic aligner plates that gradually shift teeth into the desired position. The aligner plates are all custom made to fit your mouth perfectly so Invisalign is far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Because of the comfort level and ease to keep hidden, Invisalign has become one of the most popular methods of orthodontic treatment in the world.

Invisalign aligners are made of FDA approved, medical grade plastic that are customized to fit your teeth perfectly. A new aligner will need to be made and put in your mouth about every two weeks to continue to move your teeth. Each new aligner will fit your teeth a little differently to gradually improve your teeth’s alignment without causing the patient any discomfort. Invisalign must be worn as close to as full-time as possible to get the best possible smile. The aligners can be removed in order to eat and clean your mouth.

Patients in Cambridge love the Invisalign orthodontic treatment because most can complete treatment without anyone noticing. The clear plastic aligners are incredibly difficult to see from the outside so many patients don’t have to go through any unwanted attention due to their braces. In the past, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment had to deal with clunky metal braces that everyone wanted to talk about. Patients can get Invisalign at Rapid Braces without changing the way they look. Invisalign braces can be worn by adults and teens to treat issues such as: overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowded teeth and big gaps between the teeth.

Another reason that so many patients in Cambridge are going to Rapid Braces for orthodontic treatment is the fast treatment time. Rapid Braces offers the 6 month braces treatment method and is able to finish over 90% of cases in 6 months or less. Dr. G developed the 6 month braces method over 20 years ago so he could offer adults orthodontic treatment that could be completed fast.
