Six Month Smiles in Central London

Six Month Smiles® is a short-term orthodontic solution that quickly transforms your smile in as little as six months. By focusing on just the front teeth, this popular brace can tackle the most common dental complaints in less than half the time of comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Using Six Month Smiles Lucid-Lok® clear brackets, combined with the use of tooth-coloured, ‘memory-shaped’ wires, this orthodontic treatment is very discreet. Over the period of a few months, and adjustments every four weeks, the custom designed brace gently pushes the teeth into the correct position, correcting spaced, crowded and overlapping teeth.

The Six Month Smiles system is a practical solution for general dentists. It integrates highly specialised materials that are uniquely designed to treat cosmetic cases. The system combines the ease of use and scope of treatment associated with aligners, but with the reliability of braces. With Six Month Smiles, a wide range of tooth movements can be predictably achieved. These include extrusions, rotations, intrusions, and various types of tipping.

Dr Frühbeck provides orthodontic treatment for adults and children, including fixed appliances and clear aligners.

“I love transforming peoples’ smiles and giving them a healthy functional bite.”

I really enjoy working at Sonria Dental because we have a wonderful international team that work really well together, creating a family like culture that we the team and our patients absolutely love. In addition, the clinic has the latest technologies that allow me to deliver the most state-of-the-art orthodontic care that not only transform peoples’ smiles but also give them a healthy functional bite.

As the resident orthodontist, I provide a wide range of quality orthodontic treatments to adults and children alike, with a special focus in achieving a healthy occlusion while also straightening teeth.

I am specialised in both comprehensive and interceptive orthodontics, with fixed appliances as well as aesthetic alternatives like clear aligners, with a focus on occlusion and TMJ.

I completed my orthodontic training at New York University USA , followed by a 2 year advanced postgraduate course in orthodontics, occlusion and TMJ at the FACE/Roth-Williams Center in Spain. I’m passionate about staying up to date with the latest trends and am continually learning through national and international courses in my areas of interest.

I’m an active member of the British Orthodontic Society and the European Orthodontic Society, a regular lecturer at the Cephtactics PG Certificate Course in Orthodontics and I’ve been a speaker at international meetings.

Outside dentistry, I love sailing and travelling.

I speak English, Spanish, German and French.

The general process of Six Month Smiles is as follows:

Dental impressions are taken of the patient’s teeth
The impressions are sent to the Six Month Smiles Case Processing Centre, where a bracket specialist/technician sets up the case.
A custom kit created for the patient is send to the dentist for initiation of treatment.
The dentist and assistant precisely position the brackets on bonding trays, for a later easy and efficient one-step seating process.
The wires used in the treatment have shape memory that works in conjunction with the brackets to guide the teeth to the pre-set and desired position.

This treatment is ideal for anyone who doesn’t have any major orthodontic issues and who isn’t looking to achieve an absolutely perfect bite but rather just correct anterior teeth that are out of alignment. It’s a solution for aesthetical reasons rather than functional ones! With the use of low forces and a short overall orthodontic treatment times, comfort, safety and hygiene is increased, while your costs decrease.
