Straighter Teeth in Less Time—with Subtle, Clear Braces

If you've always wanted a straighter smile but don’t want to spend years in traditional braces, 6-Month Smiles may be the ideal solution. This innovative orthodontic treatment is designed to align your teeth quickly and discreetly—typically in just six months. At Aesthetic Smiles, we offer this cosmetic-focused system to patients looking for fast, comfortable results without the look of metal braces.

What Is 6-Month Smiles?

6-Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to gently shift the visible front teeth into a more ideal position. Unlike conventional braces, which move all teeth including the molars and roots, this system concentrates on improving smile aesthetics rather than changing your entire bite. As a result, treatment is faster, more comfortable, and less noticeable.

Is 6-Month Smiles Right for You?

This treatment is perfect for adult and teen patients who:

  • Have mild to moderate misalignment in the front teeth
  • Are looking for a discreet orthodontic option
  • Want results in a shorter time frame
  • Have previously worn braces but experienced relapse
  • Are focused on cosmetic rather than complex bite correction

At Aesthetic Smiles, we’ll begin with a comprehensive consultation to determine whether 6-Month Smiles is the best fit for your goals. If another option like clear aligners or Invisalign is more appropriate, we’ll guide you through those alternatives as well.

Benefits of 6-Month Smiles

Patients throughout Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, West Boise, and the broader Treasure Valley choose 6-Month Smiles for several key advantages:

  • Faster treatment than traditional braces—typically complete in 4 to 9 months
  • Clear, low-profile materials for a discreet appearance
  • Targeted cosmetic correction of the teeth that show when you smile
  • Comfortable and conservative movement using low force
  • Often more affordable than other orthodontic systems

What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey with 6-Month Smiles starts with a personalized treatment plan crafted by Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling. After taking digital scans and X-rays, we’ll place clear brackets and tooth-colored wires on the teeth to be aligned. You’ll return every few weeks for quick adjustments and progress checks.

Most patients complete treatment within six months, though exact timing varies based on individual needs. Once treatment ends, a retainer is recommended to maintain your new alignment long-term.
