What are Six Month Smiles in Manchester?
Six Month Smiles are a form of adult teeth straightening using clear fixed braces, which generally take about 6 months to straighten teeth.
Using clear brackets with tooth-coloured wires, Six Month Smiles only treats the teeth at the front of your mouth, which are visible when you smile, and this is why treatment time is so quick.
Patients from Salford Quays, Trafford, Salford and throughout Manchester love the fact that Six Month Smiles braces straighten teeth so quickly, usually in just 6 months. The clear braces also make them very discreet.
Six Month Smiles can treat:
- Overcrowding
- Spaced out teeth
- Some bite problems
- Crooked teeth
- Protruding teeth

How does Six Month Smiles work at YOR Dental?
At your free consultation, we will assess your teeth and gums and make sure that you are a suitable candidate for six months braces. We can talk to you more in detail about the process for Six Month Smiles.
Once your custom-made braces have been made, we will invite you back to YOR Dental practice in Salford Quays to fit your braces.
This is a painless process and usually takes about an hour to complete. First, we attach the clear brackets to the front of your teeth. Once the brackets are in place, we will then thread through the tooth-coloured wire. Small elastic bands may be attached, which helps to increase the pressure on your teeth, and this pressure gradually straightens your teeth.
Many patients from Manchester, Salford, Trafford and Salford Quays find it strange after having their braces fitted. You may notice pressure on your teeth, you may find that your mouth is a bit sore, and you may lisp slightly when you talk. This is all natural and will settle down within a few days.
You will start to notice small changes to your teeth within the first month of wearing your six months braces.
You will need to return to the dental practice in Salford Quays regularly to have your braces adjusted and tightened throughout your treatment. On average, this tends to be between 3 and 7 appointment times.
Most patients complete their treatment in 6 months, when your braces will be removed, and you can show off your new smile to your family and friends!

Does Six Month Smiles really work in six months?
Many patients enjoy noticeable results in around six months because the treatment targets the areas that affect their smile most.

During your consultation in Manchester, our team will assess your teeth and give you a realistic timeframe based on your unique situation.
Are six month smiles braces comfortable?
Six month smile braces are designed with comfort in mind. They use clear or tooth-coloured brackets and lighter wires that are gentler on your gums and cheeks compared with some traditional systems. Most patients find them much easier to live with day-to-day, and because treatment is faster, discomfort tends to be short-lived. At YOR Dental, we support you throughout, helping you manage any sensitivity and ensuring your experience feels calm and positive
Will people notice my Six Month Smiles treatment?
Six Month Smiles is often described as a discreet orthodontic approach because it uses clear or tooth-coloured components that blend with your natural teeth, making the braces less noticeable. This makes it an attractive option for adults who want quick, straight teeth without the appearance of traditional metal braces. While no orthodontic system is completely invisible, many patients feel comfortable knowing their braces are subtle and suited to everyday life.
How do I care for my teeth during and after Six Month Smiles?
Good oral hygiene is essential during any orthodontic treatment. With six month smile braces, we’ll show you how to clean around the brackets and wires so your teeth stay healthy and bright throughout the process. Once your smiles are aligned, we provide guidance on retainers to help keep your results long-lasting. At YOR Dental, we’re here to support you with practical advice and personalised aftercare so you enjoy your new smile confidently.
