Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can braces really be done or finished in 6 months? How is this possible? 6 Month Braces
A: Dr. Gaffey utilizes the latest techniques and technology to move your teeth quickly and safely. It's important to note that Six Month Smiles Adult Braces are not intended to be a substitute for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. 6 Month Braces are intended to straighten the teeth that show in your smile. This approach may not address bite discrepancies. Six Month Smiles is a technique aimed at treating the cosmetic zone in ADULT smiles.
Some complex cases may need more comprehensive orthodontic treatment and can take longer. It’s important to select the right type of treatment at the beginning to get the best outcome. Jack can assess your case and discuss the time required for your individual case with you.
Q: How do 6 Month Braces compare to "Invisible Braces" that I've seen advertised on TV that use clear plastic trays?
A: "Invisible plastic braces" uses a series of clear hard plastic trays to move the teeth. 6 Month Braces uses nearly invisible brackets and wires. So, while 6 Month Braces are a bit more visible, they work MUCH faster and give Dr. Gaffey far more control over the results. Also, 6 Month Braces don't require you to remember to do anything. The "Invisible braces" on TV require you to constantly put a series of trays in (and then take them out for eating). 6 Month Braces are on "auto-pilot." All you must do is see Dr. Gaffey once a month for about 6 months.
Finished in 6 Months!
Q: How will I look with these braces?
A: 6 Month Braces are virtually invisible. Dr. Gaffey uses tooth-coloured brackets. Even the wires are white.
Q: Does the 6 Month Braces Technique damage the teeth, roots, or gums in any way? I've heard that moving teeth can cause root damage.
A: The Six-Month Smiles? The technique uses light force with short treatment duration to safely move the teeth. There is no evidence that root damage or "resorption" is any more likely than with traditional braces, which is VERY rare.
Q: Do 6 Month Braces cost more than regular braces?
A: 6 Month Braces may be a bit less expensive than traditional braces.

Q: Do I have to wear a retainer?
A: Yes, as with any orthodontic procedure a retainer is necessary. This is especially true for adult orthodontic treatment. For convenience, we recommend a permanent, bonded retainer be used. This way you don't even have to think about it, and nobody can see it.
Finished in 6 months
Q: Are 6 Month Braces more painful than regular braces?
A: No. The Six-Month Smiles Technique uses LIGHT force to move the teeth gently and comfortably. Like with traditional dental braces, some patients may experience some temporary discomfort. For those occasions, Panadol or Nurofen work well. However, most patients tell us they just feel a "tightness."
Q: Why not just get veneers done instead?
A: Dr Gaffey says, "While veneers can provide great results, 6 Month Braces offer a more conservative and far less expensive solution to a crooked smile. Veneers are a wonderful way to improve the shape and colour of teeth and continue to be an excellent choice for some cases. However, 6 Month Braces, along with Tooth Whitening, provide beautiful results without having to make irreversible changes to your natural teeth. Call us today for a consultation, and we can discuss which is best for you."

6 month Smiles
This patient had one tooth that bothered them. They were quoted braces for 2 years to correct this problem. Jay’s teeth were straightened with white braces in only 6 months. A fantastic transformation with straighter teeth.
Case 1
6 month Smiles
2 Front Teeth that stick out. Rob felt that his 2 front teeth stuck out and needed to be pulled back. The bottom teeth were slightly crowded too. We used clear braces for 7 months to straighten and align his teeth. We made his teeth into a beautiful arches and gave him the smile he was looking for. Easy, straight forward treatment.
Case 3
6 month Smiles
Sometimes all of the teeth are a slightly off, they just don’t look straight. Jill was 48 and looking for a better smile but didn’t want braces for 2 years or a metal mouth. We offered her white braces for 6 months and she was thrilled with the result.
Case 4
One Tooth Sticks Out
Joseph didn’t like his front teeth and felt that the middle tooth stuck out too far. We used white braces for 7 months to align all of his teeth and make retainers to hold them straight. He felt this was much better than 2 years of metal braces.
Case 5
2 Front teeth Sticking out
Sue had two front teeth that she felt stuck out. We informed her that this could be improved with a short course of braces. In just 5 months we transformed her teeth to bring the front teeth back and create a well rounded smile.
Case 9
White Braces
Gappy teeth. Charlie didn’t like having spaces between her teeth. Some cultures considered spaces lucky but she just hated the look and wanted ‘straight teeth’ . 7 months of braces allowed us to close the gaps and give Charlie the straight teeth she wanted.
Case 10
Adult Braces
Sometimes, there is everything going wrong with your teeth and you just give up. Brian just wanted to start over with his teeth, get them cleaned, straighter and be able to look after them properly. There was plaque everywhere, he had ground down his front teeth and they were very crooked. He was amazed with the transformation just by cleaning them and getting his front teeth in line. Now he has more reason to keep them clean in the future.
Case 11
6 Month Smiles
A young man’s front teeth stuck out a long way. After 15 months of white braces he had straighter teeth.
