Six-month braces can be used to correct a wide range of orthodontic problems. Depending on why you chose to have a six-month braces treatment, you could potentially expect to see the following positive changes in your smile:

Alignment

For those experiencing overcrowding, overlapping and an asymmetrical smile, six months braces can quickly and effectively align your teeth.

For misplaced midlines, your upper and bottom teeth will be much more parallel and aligned.
