ST. PAUL AND EAGAN, MINNESOTA – The idea of going through orthodontic treatment that is started and finished in the same year is appealing to a variety of patients, so it isn’t surprising to one Eagan and Inver Grove Heights pediatric orthodontics expert that patients are asking specifically about treatment with Six Month Smiles.

Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, who received specialized training in this treatment method, has offered Six Month Smiles as an option for several years and her patients have experienced favorable outcomes as a result of the treatment.

“For some patients, it is an appropriate solution to their particular type of malocclusion, but it isn’t ideal for every case,” said Eisenhuth, who also offers Minneapolis Invisalign treatment. “The only way to determine whether it is an option for you is to schedule a consultation with a qualified provider.”

Six Month Smiles frequently is described as a cutting-edge twist on conventional orthodontics. It is widely accepted that ...
... traditional braces with brackets and arch wires are most effective when it comes to properly aligning teeth and improving bite problems in patients. Six Month Smiles took the best characteristics of braces and altered the treatment and materials so it could offer a sensible, aesthetic solution for adult patients, according to the Six Month Smiles website.

Some of the advanced features that are characteristic of Six Month Smiles include:

An average treatment time of six months
Lucid-Lok® clear brackets and wires made of nickel titanium that are barely noticeable to others because they are the color of the patient’s teeth.
Braces provide the most conservative, predictable end result
Patient Tray Kits™ help ensure every appointment is quick and comfortable
Low forces and a shorter overall length of treatment increases comfort, safety and oral hygiene
This treatment tends to be more cost-expensive than conventional braces, aligner therapy or porcelain veneers

The brackets used for Six Month Smiles treatment are smaller than conventional brackets and, like the arch wires, they are the color of the patient’s natural teeth. After the Six Month Smiles treatment is complete, Eisenhuth fits the patient for a retainer.

For Eisenhuth, who treats adults and children, orthodontics is not a one-size-fits-all approach. While she doesn’t view Six Month Smiles as being ideal for every patient, she has used it to treat teeth that are out of alignment, gaps between the teeth, underbite, overbite and crossbite.

She determines whether this treatment is appropriate for adult patients by having them come in for a consultation so she can take X-rays and photographs to determine the best treatment path. Once patients are deemed appropriate for this treatment, Eisenhuth gets them on their way to a beautiful, healthy smile.

“We encourage patients not to be disappointed if it is determined that Six Month Smiles isn’t the appropriate option for them,” Eisenhuth said. “There are plenty of options, and we will identify the treatment that is ideal for your specific orthodontic needs.”

In addition to Six Month Smiles, Eisenhuth’s practice offers traditional metal braces, clear ceramic brackets and Incognito braces, which go on the backs of the teeth.
