Swift, Comfortable
Treatment
Experience gentle tooth movement with minimal discomfort, using advanced orthodontic techniques that focus specifically on the visible teeth that matter most to your smile.
A popular choice for tooth straightening you can expect to have the results you want in 6 months or less. That makes it very popular with brides before their wedding or just busy people who don`t want to spend 2-3 years wearing braces.
These braces usually involve treating the front teeth only and the goal is to give the patient a great natural looking smile. Many patients also consider invisalign to straighten teeth without braces.
Six month braces are one of the most popular braces at Seapoint Clinic. We have more experience of this amazing treatment than any other dental practice in Ireland.
We do not try to change the bite to any significant degree and the results we aim for are cosmetic only. If your goal is to change your bite or move a lot of the back teeth you may still need to get conventional braces which may take longer.
With Six Month Braces we are able to offer both see through braces and metal finish braces. The white braces are tooth coloured and while they do cost slightly more, they are very discreet. These braces are much more inconspicuous than the metal finish braces and often go unnoticed on the patient. They are ideal for those who want their braces to be as discreet as possible.
Many patients who come in for Six Month Braces consultations have previously been told that their only option was to wear braces for two years or get veneers. Usually this is not the case, and the smile can be fixed in a reasonable period of time.
The Six Month Braces technique utilises the latest technology combined with time-tested techniques to move your teeth quickly and safely.
The goal is to give you a great smile and so we only treat the teeth that will benefit your smile. We do not try to alter your bite or back teeth as this is usually unnecessary for cosmetic improvements. Using specialised low force wires we can gently position the teeth in the right place.
Many of our staff at Seapoint have had six month braces done on themselves and are delighted to tell you about their experience. Six month braces are the one of the most popular way of straightening teeth we have today.
At Seapoint Clinic, we offer several options for Six Month Braces, each designed to suit different lifestyles and preferences while delivering excellent results in a shortened timeframe.
The most economical option, featuring modern, slim-profile brackets that are far more comfortable than traditional orthodontics of the past. These braces offer the most predictable results and are particularly effective for more complex alignment issues.
Nearly invisible brackets that blend with your natural tooth colour, offering the same effective treatment as metal braces but with enhanced aesthetics. Perfect for those who want a more discreet treatment option without compromising on results.
A removable appliance that uses a sophisticated spring system to gently guide front teeth into position, ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues affecting the visible front teeth. The Inman Aligner can be removed for important occasions and cleaning, though it should be worn 20 hours per day for optimal results.
A lot of our staff in the clinic have had or currently have Six Month Invisible Braces on their own teeth.
Check out our lovely hygienist Laura below during her treatment.
If you look closely enough, you might even be able to see her braces! Nearly invisible right..?!
Many people also consider the option of clear braces to straighten their teeth. Their main advantage is they are clear aligners and can be removed for eating and cleaning. The downside is straightening teeth is not normally as fast or as accurate. There are many tooth movements which can`t be carried out properly with clear braces.
I couldn’t be happier with the results and the overall professionalism of Dr Myers and the clinic.
James came to the clinic as he wasn’t satisfied with his smile. After meeting Dr Altona Myers, James opted for 6 month braces to straighten his lower teeth and porcelain crowns to correct his upper teeth. The results are beautiful and James couldn’t be happier with the overall experience.
“I actually loved having braces! Dr Alessandra made the whole experience so positive. I’ll miss them a little – but I’m so happy with my new smile.”
Florencia’s braces journey with Dr Alessandra was filled with encouragement, making the end result even more special.

No. Actually the Six Month Braces Technique is a low force technique. Many people think we just “tighten” the braces more to get the teeth moving. This would actually slow down tooth movement.
No, the causes for the above complications are individual biology and high forces over a long period of time. The Six Month Braces technique uses low force with a short treatment duration to safely move the teeth. If your teeth are crowded, braces will usually allow you to keep them cleaner which will benefit their health.
Yes, we have both small metal and clear braces. The clear braces blend into your teeth making them much more discreet. But you can choose to have just your upper or lower teeth treated.
Absolutely. Many people did not get braces when they were young. Now they have problems with their teeth and gums or they are just unhappy with their smile. Other people did have braces when they were young, but they did not wear their retainers until they stopped growing.
The result is that their teeth are now a little bit crooked. Now they are unhappy with their smile so they get braces too. Ask most of our reception or nursing staff who are wearing or have worn Six Month Braces. Presently most of our braces are being done on adult patients. It is quite a change from 20 years ago when dentists were generally only treating children.

However, after treatment gets started, things are quite comfortable.
When you have your braces placed your mouth takes some time to get used to something new. This only lasts a few days and after this you’ll hardly notice them. When we use gentle pressure to move your teeth it is completely normal to have a sensation that they are slightly loose. This is because the ligaments that hold your teeth in are being stretched a bit. Don’t worry when the braces come off this goes away entirely.
Other than that, braces will feel the same whether you get treatment when you are in your teens, or whether you get treatment when you are an adult.
Yes, you can eat most foods when wearing cosmetic braces. Sticky foods like toffee, should be avoided. Braces do tend to stain a little after wearing them.
People who tend to like staining foods such as coffee, curries, red wine etc, sometimes have to cut down. When your braces are adjusted, we change all of the parts that stain and place fresh white/clear ones.
So don’t worry if they do happen to stain. Invisalign, the clear brace, can be removed for eating and therefore does not tend to stain at all and can be cleaned easily.
The braces treatment will be performed by a dentist or orthodontist trained in the Six Month Clear Braces Technique. All our dentists have performed many cases before and are experienced in the treatments.
