Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly With Clear Braces

Six Month Smiles Clear Braces are designed to straighten the teeth that show when you smile, offering results in a shorter time than traditional orthodontics.

These braces use clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, blending naturally with your teeth for a professional appearance.

The treatment focuses on cosmetic alignment, which means you can complete it more quickly without compromising comfort. Most patients finish within six months, though timelines can vary slightly depending on your needs.

Because the braces are fixed to your teeth, you'll enjoy continuous progress without having to remember to wear or change aligners. This makes them a convenient choice for busy lifestyles.

Enjoy Flexibility & Comfort With Removable Aligners

Six Month Smiles Invisible Aligners give you another way to achieve a straighter smile in less time. These custom-made, clear trays are designed to improve only the teeth that are most visible when you smile. This allows for faster cosmetic results.

The aligners are smooth, comfortable, and removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions. Each set of trays is worn for a prescribed period before moving to the next. This gradually shifts your teeth into place.

With regular check-ins, we monitor your progress to ensure your orthodontic treatment stays on track. This option combines speed, flexibility, and discretion. It's a great choice if you want quick results with minimal disruption to your daily life.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Short-Term Orthodontics

What is short-term orthodontics?
Short-term orthodontics focuses on straightening the teeth that show when you smile. By targeting only these teeth, treatment can be completed in a shorter time compared to comprehensive orthodontics, often in about six months, depending on your specific case and goals.
Are short-term orthodontic treatments comfortable?
Yes. Both Six Month Smiles Clear Braces and Invisible Aligners are designed with comfort in mind. You may experience mild pressure when adjustments are made or when starting a new aligner, but this typically subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for short-term orthodontics?
You may be a good candidate if your main concern is the appearance of your front teeth and you have no major bite issues. A consultation with our team will help determine the best treatment option based on your goals and overall dental health.
