An Interview with Dr. Michael Curtis on Braces
Dr. Michael Curtis is a dentist and has answered some of the common questions Bizymoms visitors have about Braces.
Q. What is 6 month braces?
A. Six Month Smiles® utilizes nearly invisible clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth into a beautiful smile in an average time of only six months. The technique is generally faster and more predictable "Invisalign" or "Clear Correctâ" clear-aligners, though we can use these types of techniques as well.
Q. How can it be done in 6 months?
A. 6 Month Braces is a revolutionary treatment designed to correct what bothers you about your smile, without changing your bite in the back. That way, we can correct the spaces, crowded, crossed and misaligned teeth that show in your smile to give you a beautiful smile at lower cost and a fourth the time.
Q. How old do you have to be to begin this treatment?
A. We generally start at age 15. There is no upper age bracket for 6 Month Braces, so seniors can benefit as well.
Q. Does the Six Month Braces Technique damage the teeth, roots, or gums in any way?
A. You might think that the fast treatment means simply "tightening" regular braces more, but that is not the case. We use the same methods and mechanics used in traditional orthodontics, so there are no more risks or other issues than those associated with regular braces.
Q. Are Six Month Braces more painful than regular braces?
A. Since the forces used with Six Month Braces are often lighter and teeth are seldom extracted, there are typically fewer risks and less discomfort involved with 6 Month orthodontics.
Q. Does the Six Month Braces Technique cost more than regular braces?
A. No. Fees are about half what traditional Orthodontics costs.
Q. Can everyone have 6 month braces?
A. Most adults ARE candidates for Six Month smiles, but not all.If you have crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major change in your bite, this could be the solution for you!
Q. How to contact Dr. Curtis if we have further questions?
A.
