A straight, confident smile can change how a person feels every day. Whether you’re preparing for a big event, improving career confidence, or simply ready to love your smile again, orthodontic treatment plays a powerful role. But many adults hesitate to commit to long treatments, bulky braces, or the high cost of full orthodontics.
That’s where Six Month Smiles®, available at Urban Dental in Bensalem, 1338 Bristol Pike, Bensalem, PA 19020, stands out. It’s fast, discreet, effective, and tailored for adults and teens who want visible improvements in less time – without the lifestyle limitations of traditional braces.
What Exactly Is Six Month Smiles®?
Six Month Smiles® is a cosmetic orthodontic system designed to straighten the front, visible teeth – the ones that shape your smile. Instead of shifting the full bite like traditional braces, it focuses on improving tooth alignment and aesthetic harmony.
You still get braces, but they’re modern and discreet:
- Clear brackets
- Tooth-colored wires
- Low-force movement for comfort
The result? A solution that works quietly and gently while dramatically enhancing your smile.
Why It Works Faster Than Traditional Braces
Traditional braces focus on both alignment and bite correction. That’s why treatment can take anywhere from 18 months to 3 years.
Six Month Smiles® zeroes in on the teeth that matter most for appearance – the front upper and lower teeth – making the timeline drastically shorter. The wires are designed to move teeth efficiently without causing discomfort or permanent changes to jaw structure.
Patients typically complete treatment in:
- 4 to 9 months total
- With an average of about 6 months
So, you get results without a long-term commitment.
Is Six Month Smiles® Right for You?
This system is ideal for adults and teens who want to improve the look of their smile rather than completely correct a complex bite issue.
You may be a great candidate if you have:
- Crowded front teeth
- Spaces or gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate misalignment
- Relapse after not wearing retainers from past orthodontics
- Misalignment affecting confidence in photos or social settings
For patients with major bite problems, Urban Dental provides alternative orthodontic solutions. But for the majority of adults looking for cosmetic improvement, Six Month Smiles® hits the mark beautifully.

Cost of Six Month Smiles® in Bensalem
The price varies depending on case complexity, but because treatment is shorter and more targeted than full orthodontics, it is typically more affordable than Invisalign® or traditional braces.
Urban Dental also makes treatment accessible with:
- Flexible payment plans
- After-care retainer options
- Financing for qualified patients
A straight smile shouldn’t feel financially impossible – and at Urban Dental, it isn’t.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait If You’re Thinking About It
Almost every patient who completes Six Month Smiles® says the same thing: “I wish I had done this sooner.”
Delaying treatment often means:
- More time feeling unhappy with your smile
- More hesitation in photos and social settings
- More self-consciousness at work and events
You’re only six months away from the smile you’ve always wanted – not years.
