Six weeks, six teeth, new smile
18th Jun 2010A new orthodontic system, designed to straighten teeth in as little as six weeks, is being offered at a leading dental practice.
Aqua Dental Spa in London's West End is one of just a handful of clinics in the UK offering the revolutionary system.
Social Six braces focuses on the front six teeth that show when smiling and talking. It is cheaper and faster than other brace systems, and invisible so very discreet.
According to Dr Anoop Maini, clinic founder and member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD), and one of the top 10 most influential dentists in the UK, said: 'Social Six is a revolutionary treatment like no other on the market. Concentrating on the front six teeth which are most visible, it can remedy minor to moderate crowding or spacing issues in as little as six weeks (and up to around 10 weeks) with minimal impact on speech.
'Many people are unhappy with their smile but don't need the overhaul that full orthodontic treatment can bring. Doing just the front teeth means a dramatic improvement can be made to the smile with considerably less downtime and at a significantly reduced cost.'
He adds: 'The problem with some orthodontic treatments is patient commitment and compliance. When orthodontic treatments spans a long timescale, clients can become impatient and not stick to the treatment as they should for optimum and speedy results. The Social Six remedies that.'
Alyson Fernandes, dental treatment consultant, is receiving Social Six treatment for her crowded front bottom teeth.
The 38-year-old has started her treatment just two weeks ago, and already can see movement and improvement.
She says: 'I've always been conscious of my crooked bottom teeth and like many adults, I shied away from braces as a teenager as there was such a stigma attached to them. With the advances in adult orthodontics, I was tempted to try it but have always been put off by the downtime involved. Social Six was the perfect solution and nI can't believe they're working so quickly!'
