Q: Is there a fast way to get teeth straight without looking like a metal mouth?
Dr. Smith: Yes, there is. It’s called “short term orthodontics”, or STO for short. Another name for it is “six month smiles“, because that’s how long the average case takes to treat. The brackets and wires are all tooth-colored, and the wire is nickel-titanium (coated to make it tooth-colored), which is what makes this treatment move teeth so efficiently. Treatment is usually from 3 to 9 months, with some taking a bit longer, but on average, it is about 3 times quicker than Invisalign or traditional orthodontics.
