6-Month Smiles in Prairieville

At Ascension Premier Dental, we offer 6-Month Smiles as a fast, effective orthodontic solution for adults and older teens in Prairieville who want to improve their smile without lengthy treatment timelines. This short-term braces system focuses on aligning the teeth that are most visible when you smile—delivering noticeable results in around six months.

Led by Dr. Calvin G. Bessonet III, our team provides custom treatment plans that fit your goals, schedule, and lifestyle. If you’ve delayed orthodontic care due to time or appearance concerns, 6-Month Smiles may be the ideal solution.

6-Month Smiles is a cosmetic orthodontic system that uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to gently straighten the front teeth in approximately six months. Unlike traditional braces, it focuses only on the teeth visible in your smile zone—not the entire bite—allowing for a faster and more aesthetic result.

Benefits include:

• Shorter treatment time than traditional braces
  
  
• Clear, discreet appearance
  
  
• Predictable and efficient results
  
  
• Minimal impact on speech and daily routine

We often recommend 6-Month Smiles as an alternative to full orthodontics or as part of a complete Smile Makeover.

This treatment is ideal for patients with:

• Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
  
  
• Crooked or rotated front teeth
  
  
• Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment
  
  
• Good oral health and realistic cosmetic goals

If you’re looking for a less noticeable option, we may also recommend Invisalign or Clear Aligners, depending on your needs.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile and determine the best treatment plan.

6-Month Smiles:

• Treatment Time: Approximately 6 months
  
  
• Appearance: Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires for a discreet look
  
  
• Focus: Cosmetic alignment of the front teeth only

Traditional Braces:

• Treatment Time: Typically 18 to 24 months
  
  
• Appearance: Metal or ceramic brackets, more noticeable
  
  
• Focus: Comprehensive alignment including bite correction

Invisalign:

• Treatment Time: Generally 12 to 18 months
  
  
• Appearance: Nearly invisible clear aligners
  
  
• Focus: Full-arch alignment with removable trays for flexibility

Each option has its strengths. 6-Month Smiles is best suited for patients seeking a faster, more discreet solution for visible tooth alignment without addressing full bite correction.
