Proving the Smile is Back in Style: CariFree Partners with Six Month Smiles to Encourage Proactive Dentistry

ALBANY, OR, August 25, 2010 (Press-News.org) The leader in cavity prevention, CariFree, announces a partnership with Six Month Smiles, a progressive technology that straightens teeth in just six months. The visionary companies plan to work together to promote cavity prevention through the use of minimally invasive procedures. Their proactive approach to dentistry will not only leave patients looking great, it will also leave smiles healthy and cavity-free.

The CariFree system effectively targets patients' risk for dental caries, the disease which causes cavities, and cures them of the infection. Through use of the preventive products, patients are ridding themselves of cavities before they start. Dentists no longer need to solely rely on reparative methods alone, such as drilling and filling cavities, and can now get to the root of the problem by utilizing CariFree's suite of products and risk assessment tools to rid the disease. The company's coupling with Six Month Smiles reveals an effort to further innovate the dental industry, continuing toward the evolution of minimally invasive dentistry.

"There is an industry-wide move towards noninvasive dentistry, and we're proud to be leading the way," says Carri Cady, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CariFree. "Six Month Smiles shares many of the same ideals as CariFree about what being proactive means to dentistry. I believe our partnership can provide valuable awareness of the huge strides made in dentistry in recent years."

Pairing Six Months Smiles with the CariFree system gains patients a complete oral makeover that will last a lifetime. Together, CariFree and Six Month Smiles will hold partnered webinars to further illustrate the benefits of using the two systems in unison. The first webinar will be held on August 24, 2010, at 5:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time and will be hosted by Dr. Kim Kutsch, CEO and founder of Oral BioTech. The second, held on August 31, 2010, at 5:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, will be led by Dr. Ryan Swain.

"Adults want treatment options that are practical, conservative, and most importantly, short in length," says Dr. Ryan Swain of Six Month Smiles. "Dentists around the world tell us that short term ortho with Six Month Smiles fills a real need among their adult patients who refuse to wear traditional braces. Considering our shared goals, teaming up with CariFree just makes sense."

Six Month Smiles uses nearly invisible braces to gently align teeth in as little as six months. This emerging technology has allowed many adults who desire neither the commitment nor the aesthetics attributed by traditional braces to obtain the straight smile they have always wanted in significantly less time. As progressive companies in the dental space, CariFree and Six Month Smiles are proud to join forces in the movement towards straight and cavity-free teeth through the use of cutting-edge procedures. The common goal is to accomplish total oral health that can be seen for smiles and smiles.
