Straighter teeth in just six months — without the wait
Are you one of the millions of adults who are unhappy, self-conscious, or even embarrassed by your smile? Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile, or talk — feeling stuck because corrective teeth-straightening seems too invasive or too expensive.
Hershey Dental Care now offers Smile on Six: a revolutionary combination of proven orthodontic techniques, modern materials, and innovative thought. You may be a candidate if you have:
- Crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues
- Teeth that affect your confidence when smiling or speaking
- Previously avoided braces due to cost or treatment length
Self-ligating braces that move teeth gently and quickly
Smile on Six utilizes specialized self-ligating braces to gently straighten and align teeth in an average time of just six months. Unlike traditional braces that use elastic ties to hold the wire, self-ligating brackets use a built-in clip mechanism — reducing friction, allowing teeth to move more freely, and requiring fewer adjustments.
The system focuses on the cosmetic teeth — the ones visible when you smile — making treatment faster and more comfortable than full orthodontic correction. It is an effective, safe, and affordable braces solution that fits your lifestyle.
Smile on Six — your questions answered
Everything you need to know before starting your Smile on Six journey.
Smile on Six— offered at Hershey Dental Care as “Smile on Six” — is a short-term orthodontic treatment that uses specialized self-ligating braces to straighten and align the cosmetic teeth (the ones visible when you smile). Treatment is completed in an average of six months, making it one of the fastest adult braces solutions available.
Most adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or alignment issues are good candidates. Smile on Six focuses on the cosmetic zone — the teeth that show when you smile — rather than full jaw correction. Dr. Patel will evaluate your bite and tooth positions during a free consultation to confirm candidacy.
Traditional braces use elastic ties to hold the wire to each bracket, which creates friction and slows tooth movement. Self-ligating brackets have a built-in sliding clip that holds the wire with less friction. This allows teeth to move more freely and naturally, reducing appointment frequency and overall treatment time.
Most patients experience mild soreness for a day or two after each adjustment, which is normal for any orthodontic treatment. Because self-ligating braces use lighter forces than conventional braces, many patients find Smile on Six more comfortable overall. Over-the-counter pain relievers are typically sufficient.
Both are effective adult teeth-straightening options. Smile on Six uses fixed braces that work continuously without requiring patient compliance, while Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. Smile on Six is often faster and more affordable for cosmetic cases. Dr. Patel offers both treatments and will recommend the best fit for your teeth and lifestyle.
