FastBraces® Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastBraces®?
FastBraces® is a quick treatment orthodontic system that uses triangular brackets and a single wire to move your teeth more gently and efficiently than conventional braces. In most cases, no extractions are required. Some patients even begin to see results in the first few weeks of treatment. FastBraces® is fast, affordable, simple, safe, and features low sensitivity and low friction.
How does FastBraces® work?
While conventional braces utilize a two-phase treatment process of moving your crowns in one year and your roots in the next, FastBraces® moves target teeth all at once through its unique mechanics. The key to tooth movement with FastBraces® is its innovative triangular bracket, which works with a nickel-titanium wire to simultaneously move both the roots and crowns of your teeth.
How long do I have to wear FastBraces®?
Most patients obtain their desired results within 3 months to 1 year. Since FastBraces® moves the roots and crowns of your teeth at the same time, the duration of treatment time is significantly reduced. You might even notice results in as little as 120 days.
What types of orthodontic problems can FastBraces® correct?
FastBraces® can correct a full range of malocclusions and cosmetic imperfections. This comprehensive alignment treatment can even correct underbites, overbites, spacing, and crowding — usually in a matter of months, rather than years!
What advantages does FastBraces® offer over conventional orthodontic treatment?
Conventional orthodontic treatment can take up to 3 years. With FastBraces®, you can start seeing results in as little as 120 days. Less time in braces means more time smiling with confidence at your job and social functions! Tooth movement begins the day of treatment, with torquing and tipping forces acting immediately upon the roots of the teeth. FastBraces® offers a comparatively quick improvement at significantly lower costs than conventional orthodontic treatment. The flexibility of the wire used in FastBraces® also allows for less pressure and pain for the patient.
Does FastBraces® hurt?
While there is always going to be some discomfort associated with all orthodontic treatments, FastBraces® has been shown by some university research to be less painful and to generate less friction than conventional orthodontic treatment.
Is FastBraces® right for my smile?
FastBraces® treatment is safe and effective for both children and adults. If you are interested in spending less money on your orthodontic treatment, would rather wear braces for months instead of years, and prefer a no-fuss, no extraction system, FastBraces® is quite possibly the right choice for you.
