You get a permanent wire with the 6 month smiles along with a night time clear retainer for 6 months to assure they don’t move back. As long as you’re going for your 6 monthly regular dental checkups to make sure teeth haven’t come away form the wire and you wear your retainer then they will never move! xax

Now i’m engaged, i’m becoming increasingly more aware that my big day, albeit over a year and a half away, will require me to smile. especially if i want to look back at photos! At the moment, i cant stand my teeth and am always self concious that other people are looking at them! I had braces when i was 12, but the period in which my teeth were actually straight was so brief, i can’t actually remember it! (my retainer went missing and by the time a new one was made, they’d moved back!) So ive been looking at adult braces, both 18 month treatments and the 6 month smiles (and other similar branded treatments). To me, 6 months only seems realistic for those with minor alignment issues, rather than the full realignment of both upper and lower jaws that i require. I’m very concious that the after the 6 months, the teeth will ping back to where they were, so i was looking at a longer, slower process of tilting the teeth rather than moving them (which i hear is near impossible, and quite painful as an adult, as our jaws have fused following the loss of our baby teeth) so there is less risk of moving back. the longer process also means i can have a fixed chain wire at the back of the teeth forever, so they never move back, but are still able to move ever so slightly, as the teeth normally do day to day anyway.

I’d love to know how long your realignment lasts for afterwards, as this is the real deciding factor for me! As essentially, the 6 month and the 12/18 month are the same price (which also seems a bit odd, considering there’s double the amount of work and checkups in the 12 month!)

really impressed with your progress so far though!
