For many adolescents and adults battling the issue of crooked or otherwise imperfect teeth or a bad or uncomfortable bite, the idea of finding an ultra-fast and easy solution is quite attractive. This explains the growing popularity of products like Six Month Smiles and Crystal Braces, which are non-orthodontic tooth alignment systems.
While Six Month Smiles requires the care of a dentist (orthodontists typically do not use this product), Crystal Braces is an at-home solution, monitored and managed entirely through the patient (ask yourself, do you feel qualified to straighten your own teeth?).
Our board certified orthodontists feel an obligation to inform our patients and community about these products to be sure prospective patients are making educated choices about health care decisions.
