Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Six Month Smiles is a short orthodontic course that concentrates on the front teeth that show when you smile. Your suitability and the timeframe for your case are assessed at your first consultation.
Clinical care led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487).
Some patients only want to correct the front teeth and do not need a full bite correction. Six Month Smiles is the short-course option in our orthodontics in London for that situation; the Invisalign range (Invisalign Full, Lite, Express, Teen and First) covers removable treatment. Dr Papagalani confirms at your consultation which fits your case.
The risk with a short course is choosing it for a case that needs a full one. The specialist orthodontist diagnoses first and only recommends it where it can achieve the result, and the fee is itemised before you start.
Where the case needs more than front-tooth alignment, we may suggest orthodontic expanders, orthodontic headgear or accelerated orthodontics instead.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Adults whose concern is the appearance of the front teeth rather than the bite, who want a shorter course and a less noticeable appliance. If you are unsure whether visible braces or aligner compliance is the bigger issue for you, see braces and aligners: which option fits. The specialist orthodontist confirms suitability at your consultation. If dental visits make you anxious, tell us when you book.
We examine your teeth, confirm whether a short course can achieve your goal, flag any complications and give you the timeline. If the case needs more, we may suggest fixed metal braces instead.
We scan your bite and Dr Papagalani plans the movement of each tooth.
We fit your appliance, show you how to look after it and go through what to expect in the first days.
Regular reviews confirm the teeth are moving to plan and keep the course on schedule.
We confirm the teeth have reached their target positions and set out the retention steps.
We plan with 3D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of the planned movement before treatment begins. Treatment is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist.
Six Month Smiles is one of several short-course options here; Invisalign Express and Invisalign Lite are the removable equivalents for minor and moderate corrections.
The fee is set at your initial assessment once we know what your case needs, and you receive an itemised quote.
As long as you wear your retainers. We explain the maintenance at your consultation.
The system depends on the movement needed. The specialist orthodontist chooses at your assessment.
It concentrates on the front teeth over a shorter period rather than correcting the whole bite. We compare the options for your case at the assessment.
