Straight Teeth. Less Time. Clear Braces for Adults.

Six Month Smiles® is an orthodontic system used by Murphy dentist Dr. Tom Mims to improve the appearance of your teeth. With the help of Six Month Smiles®’s Lucid-Lok clear brackets and tooth-colored nickel titanium wires, Dr. Mims is able to straighten your teeth in a way that is less noticeable than traditional braces.  Six Month Smiles® braces use low force to primarily move teeth that show when you smile.

Because this system focuses on perfecting the look of your smile rather than correcting your bite, it is ideal for orthodontic cases that require minor improvements. As the name suggests, the average treatment time is six months.
