Six Month Smiles 

Ready for a fast track to a brilliant smile? At Bamboo Cosmetic Dentistry in Cardiff, we’re proud to be leaders in Six Month Smiles, our most popular treatment since 2011. Loved for its speed and life-changing results, this personalized care transforms smiles and boosts confidence in record time. 

What is Six Month Smiles?

Six Month Smiles is a straightening system using a tooth-coloured fixed brace that gives you straight teeth in around six months. Treatment times average six months but can range from 4-9 months. It is an excellent choice for anyone with misaligned, spaced, or crooked teeth who doesn’t want to adjust their back molars.

For those looking for a fast turnaround, or more subtle tweaks to their smile, Six Month Smiles is the perfect solution. Hence it’s become the most popular treatment we offer here in Cardiff!

Pros and cons of Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is one of our most popular treatments and it’s easy to see why. Our patients love it for delivering life-transforming smiles in just a six month period. Have an important event on the horizon? The quick results are incredible, and the predictable finish times make planning so much smoother.

However, if time isn’t a concern, other treatments like Invisalign can be more suitable. Teeth straightening can be a little painful in the beginning and Six Month Smiles is no exception. However once you are past the first two weeks then the tooth tenderness settles considerably.

Six Month Smiles is all about perfecting the teeth that shine when you smile. If there are more complex orthodontic concerns, like how your back teeth fit together, another treatment might be a better fit.

Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through your options and help you find the best solution for your smile and goals.

Dr. Thomas Evans Associate Dentist

GDC Number 265502

Qualification BDS Cardiff University, 2016, United Kingdom.

Bio I qualified from the Cardiff University in 2016. I worked for an NHS practice before joining Bamboo in 2020.

You will usually see me in my surgery when you come in, or I’m making a coffee.

I enjoy bringing smiles to your faces and watching your confidence grow through the cosmetic treatments I do day in, day out.

Who is suitable for Six Month Smiles in Cardiff?

Six Month Smiles is ideal if you’re looking to enhance the look of your smile, focusing on the teeth you show when you smile. For adjustments to back teeth or significant changes to how your teeth align, a different treatment may be a better fit. Good oral health is key for any dental procedure.

During your consultation, we’ll check your teeth and gums to ensure everything’s in great shape and take care of any necessary work before starting your treatment.

How much does Six Month Smiles treatment cost?

Six Months Smiles will cost you £2,220 (upper or lower arch) or £2,970 (both upper and lower arches) and that includes a fixed and removable retainer. You’ll also get a free take-home teeth whitening treatment and some smoothing of the edges of the teeth to tidy them up if required afterwards. This is the point in which any additionally charged composite bonding, discussed beforehand is placed by your cosmetic dentist. Cost for composite bonding AFTER Six Month Smiles is £500/hour.

For all treatments over £350 at Bamboo Dental we have 0% APR interest monthly plans up to 18 months available for you for treatments over £500. Up to 12 months interest free with no deposit. The 18 months interest free option is available with a 15% deposit. If you wish to have the 24-month option with no deposit, the monthly repayments would be at 5.9% APR or 7.9% APR. Lastly we do offer a 36 month option at 7.9% APR. – subject to age and status, minimum spend applies.

Samantha’s Straightening Story

"I wanted straighter, whiter teeth. I hated smiling with my teeth and was always self-conscious, especially the front 2 teeth as they crossed over. I really wish I had it done a lot sooner. I feel so much happier now."

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones about Six Month Smiles, from treatment times to comfort and results.

Six Month Smiles is our most popular dental procedure, and we’ve got hundreds of before and after photos showing patients overjoyed with their new smiles. While some treatments may take longer, many of our patients have transformative smiles in just six months.

While both Six Month Smiles and Invisalign are teeth straightening procedures, they differ in both treatment duration, the severity of issues that can be addressed, and the flexibility of the braces and aligners used. We’ll discuss the options available to you at your consultation.

Six Month Smiles can be used to correct a number of common dental issues, including overbite, underbite, teeth gaps, crooked teeth, and cross-bites. We’ll consult with you on the nature and severity of any issues you’re facing, and let you know the best course of treatment based on your individual teeth.
