Who doesn’t want a better smile?
Alright, that’s a trick question. Most, if not all of us do. But, if your child has crooked or crowded teeth, how long will it take to straighten them out? A year? A year and a half? Two years?
Most of us would say that even three years would be a fair trade off. Ok, maybe two years. Two years would be a fair trade.
But, what if I told you that they could have straighter teeth in just 100 days?
I want to talk to you now about FastBraces and how we can get incredible results in just over three months.
What are FastBraces?
FastBraces is an advanced orthodontic technology designed to straighten teeth rapidly.
Developed by Dr. Anthony Viazis in the early 1990s, FastBraces utilizes a unique triangular bracket and a single wire, differing significantly from the conventional square brackets and multiple wires used on traditional braces.
This innovative design allows for simultaneous movement of the crown and root of the tooth, significantly reducing treatment time.
This, to you, means that instead of having braces on the teeth for 18-24 months, treatment can be completed in under three months.
FastBraces Features
- Triangular Brackets: These brackets increase the distance between brackets, allowing for greater wire flexibility and faster tooth movement.
- Single Wire: A single, heat-activated wire is used to move both the crown and the root of the tooth simultaneously.
- Gentle Forces: The system uses lower force levels than traditional braces, reducing discomfort and promoting quicker adaptation.
Advantages of FastBraces Over Traditional Braces
1. Reduced Treatment Time: One of the most significant benefits of FastBraces is the shortened treatment duration. While traditional braces typically require 18 to 24 months, FastBraces can achieve similar results in as little as 3 to 4 months. This accelerated timeline is especially appealing to those who wish to avoid prolonged treatment.
2. Fewer Appointments: With FastBraces, patients require fewer visits. The simplified system means adjustments are less frequent, saving time and reducing inconvenience.
3. Comfort: The gentle forces used by FastBraces result in less discomfort compared to traditional braces. The lower force levels also mean patients experience less pain and easier adaptation to the braces.
4. Comprehensive Movement: FastBraces move both the crown and the root of the tooth simultaneously, ensuring comprehensive and effective realignment. This simultaneous movement helps achieve better overall results in a shorter time.
5. Aesthetic Options: FastBraces are available in both metal and clear ceramic options, providing patients with aesthetic choices that can be less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
The FastBraces Treatment Process
The FastBraces treatment process is straightforward and begins with an initial consultation. During this consultation, we will evaluate your dental condition and determine if they are a suitable option for you.
1. Initial Consultation: We perform a thorough examination, including X-rays and impressions, to assess the alignment of the teeth and the severity of the misalignment. Using this assessment, Dr. Howell will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
2. Application of FastBraces: During the application appointment, we attach the triangular brackets to the teeth and insert the single wire. This process is similar to the placement of traditional braces but is typically quicker.
3. Regular Adjustments: Patients will have regular follow-up appointments. During these visits, the doctor will make necessary adjustments to ensure the teeth are moving correctly.
4. Completion and Retention: Once the teeth have moved into the desired positions, the FastBraces are removed. Patients are then provided with a retainer to maintain the new alignment. Retainers are crucial in preventing relapse and ensuring long-term success.
Suitability and Considerations
FastBraces are suitable for teens and children who want straighter teeth.
They are particularly suitable for anyone looking for a quicker solution to straighten their teeth.
However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified orthodontist to determine if FastBraces are the right option for your specific dental needs.
Things to keep in mind when considering FastBraces:
- Complex Cases: While FastBraces are effective for most orthodontic issues, extremely complex cases may still require traditional braces or other orthodontic interventions.
- Commitment to Retention: As with any orthodontic treatment, commitment to wearing retainers post-treatment is crucial for maintaining results.
- Cost: The cost of FastBraces can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the geographic location. However, the shorter treatment duration can result in overall cost savings compared to traditional braces.
Are FastBraces Ideal For You?
FastBraces offer a revolutionary solution for achieving straight teeth in a shorter time compared to traditional braces. With their unique triangular bracket design and single wire system, FastBraces move both the crown and root of the teeth simultaneously, resulting in quicker and more comfortable treatment. For those seeking an efficient and effective orthodontic treatment, FastBraces provide a great option.
With the potential for reduced treatment times, fewer appointments, and increased comfort, FastBraces are helping people achieve their dream smiles faster than ever before.
