Many treatments are possi- ble using the Six Month Smiles System. It can be used to: • Alleviate crowding, over- lapped, rotated teeth and high canines • Correct anterior crossbites • Close spaces • Treat open bites of dentoal- veolar cause • Level the gingival zeniths • Treat deep bites • Over-erupt teeth destined to be replaced with implants to increase the bone available for placement • Provide rounded arches, free of crowding, for future veneer preparation However, Six Month Smiles is not generally used to treat the following conditions: • Correction of molar relation- ships and posterior bite dis- crepancies • Large open bites and those of skeletal origin • Bilateral cross bites • Centreline discrepancies Offering Six Month Smiles treatment has many advantag- es for dental practices. Most importantly, it is a treatment that patients are keen to have and many of your current pa- tients would most likely ben- efit from it. It also helps to promote further cosmetic den- tistry - veneers require signifi- cantly less preparation when placed on aligned teeth com- pared to crowded teeth. It is typically more economical for the patient than conventional orthodontics and, for dentists, it is an enjoyable and satisfy- ing treatment to perform. Six Month Smiles offers regular clinical training, through two-day hands-on seminars. Even GDPs with no previous orthodontic experi- ence can leave a seminar with the confidence and knowledge needed to select the proper cases and treat them appro- priately. Advanced level train- ing and clinical support are also on offer together with a complete package of market- ing materials, tools and acces- sories You can learn more about Six Month Smiles at www.Six- MonthSmiles.com.
