New Faster Braces
Patients who want straighter teeth are always looking for ways to shorten the treatment times, lower the cost and get the results they want.
As technology has advanced, there is a new product called FastBraces. This technology allows for movement of the teeth and roots of teeth toward their final position from the beginning of treatment by torquing them from the very first appointment.
Patients can often get results with less sensitivity in about a year and in some cases just a few months. With the patented triangular design of the braces, cutting edge techniques and a special heat-activated wire this technology could prove revolutionary to the field of orthodontics.
Traditional braces move teeth into position in two stages, usually over a period of about two years. In the first year, the crowns of the teeth are moved into alignment. In the second year, treatment addresses the position of the roots of the teeth. However, the brackets used with Fastbraces work on a different mechanical principal altogether.
The patented system uses an innovative bracket and a specially shaped wire to correct the position of the root and of the tooth, from the beginning of treatment. This is key in realigning the root and crown simultaneously.
These fundamental differences allow treatment to be completed in about a year, or as little as three months in selected cases. And since the braces are on for less time there is less chance of tooth decay due to improper brushing.
For the consumer looking for an aesthetic cosmetic solution, FastbraceClear, ceramic braces are available and offer the same technological advantages of moving teeth as the Fastbraces metal brackets.
Fastbraces is a technology that can improve your lifestyle with fewer visits, less treatment time, lower cost and the results you want.
