Q. Why is Seven Month Smiles so much faster than conventional braces?

A. Both techniques use the same high tech wires and brackets and both align the front teeth in 6-8 months, but correcting the bite relationships takes more time.

Q. Does Invisalign work as fast as Seven Month Smiles?

A. Invisalign is a great option if you do not want to wear braces, but removable aligners do not straighten the front teeth as fast or as accurately as braces.

Q. Can I have clear brackets?

A. Yes, we have several bracket options, including clear and gold.

Q. I have heard of Sure Smile and the Damon System. Do you use these with Seven Month Smiles?

A. Sure Smile uses expensive computerized robotics to bend the arch wire, which is not needed to just align the front teeth. The Damon bracket is only one of many excellent high tech brackets that move teeth quickly. The more important factor is the knowledge and experience that the orthodontist provides.

Q. Is this the same as Six Month Smiles?

A. Six Month Smiles was created for general dentists who have little training in the field of orthodontics. An orthodontist has an extra 2-3 years of education beyond dental school, and is a specialist at straightening teeth. Dr. Rosenbarger is an orthodontist who has 35 years of expertise in creating beautiful smiles.

Q. Do Seven Month Smiles cost the same as conventional braces?

A. No, they are significantly less, and we have interest free financial options.

Q. Will I have to wear a retainer after the braces are removed?

A. Yes, we recommend retainers for all orthodontic patients. The retainers are very comfortable and you only need to wear them when you sleep, after the initial two months. They look like clear aligners and they can be used as custom bleaching trays to keep your new smile white.
