Q: How can teeth be straightened in only six months?
A:Ā The Six Month SmilesĀ® technique employs the latest technology and techniques in dentistry to move your teeth quickly and safely. The key components of the treatment are the use of special nickel titanium wires and a primary focus of moving the teeth that show when you smile.
Q: Six months sounds good, but will I still have a mouth full of metal for the whole time?
A:Ā No! Six Month Smiles uses clear braces that are barely visible to gently straighten your teeth.
Q: How are Six Month SmilesĀ® more comfortable than regular braces?
A:Six Month SmilesĀ® use low force to move teeth more comfortably. Many people think that the accelerated treatment means simply ātighteningā regular braces to get the teeth moving, but that is not true. Six Month SmilesĀ® utilizes standard orthodontic mechanics, but with an emphasis on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.
Q: Do Six Month SmilesĀ® braces damage the teeth, roots, or gums?
A:Ā There are no more risks of root damage or other issues than those associated with traditional orthodontics. Since the forces used with Six Month SmilesĀ® braces are lighter and teeth are seldom extracted, there are actually even fewer risks involved with Six Month SmilesĀ® orthodontics.
Q: Will I have to wear a retainer?
A:Ā Yes, as with any teeth-straightening treatment a retainer is necessary to maintain the straighter position of your teeth. If you donāt want to wear a removable retainer, a bonded retainer can be placed for you by us. There are a variety of options that you can choose from according to your personal preference and situation.
Q: What's the catch?
A:There is no catch. If you are an adult (15 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you're not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this could be the solution for you! Most adults ARE candidates for Six Month Smiles.

great dentist!! always gets me right in when i need him
I have been going to Dr. Baker for quite a while and what I really love about him is that he has good patients with people who are a little scared also he does excellent work and always makes me feel welcomed and every time .And his staff is super nice to me too thank you so much Dr. Baker and staff you are so wonderful...
This is the second time that Dr Baker has come to my rescue and saved the day. I chipped my tooth during lunch at work today, called immediately for an appointment (expecting an availability sometime next week) and the office got me in at 3:30 the same day! I walked in panicking and left with perfect teeth.. Well perfectly smooth anyway lol. Dr Baker and his staff really are amazing!!
