Fastbraces
One of the challenges of orthodontic treatment, including braces and aligners, is the lengthy time frame that full movement of the teeth requires. For standard braces treatment, the typical length of time a patient must stay in their braces is around two years. Sometimes, especially with young patients, complying with the necessary hygiene and other treatment protocols is difficult, which can leave behind staining and other problems with the teeth. In addition, having braces on for such a long period of time is costly and inconvenient, and it often requires many visits to the office to have the braces adjusted. Finally, traditional braces treatment requires a visit to the orthodontist rather than your general practice dentist’s office. For many patients who have relationships with their dentist, changing practitioners is not an appealing idea.
The Fastbraces system is a revolutionary new option that uses innovative technology to speed up this process, allowing patients to move their teeth in far less time and with a high level of success. This alignment system can achieve excellent results in just a few short months and is appropriate for use in a general practice clinic. The Fastbraces system is a welcome addition to many practices that want to help their patients feel confident and comfortable with their smiles.
At Pure Dental Care, our dedication to our patients means embracing the newest technology, and for those in need of orthodontic care, that technology includes Fastbraces. We offer both metal and clear Fastbraces for patients interested in faster braces treatment with lasting results.
Metal Fastbraces
With traditional braces, the crown of the tooth gets repositioned first, and the root gets moved after the crown is in place. For this reason, the patient will continue to wear their braces or retainers for an extended period of time after their teeth look straight. The metal Fastbraces system uses new technology with triangle-shaped brackets and square wire to move the crown and the root at the same time, and often with less force than traditional braces. This allows the entire treatment to be completed in about half the time, and some patients can see their smiles improved in less than 100 days. Most Fastbraces treatments are complete within one year.
This process brings several benefits, including:
- Lower cost for braces
- Faster treatment time
- Less common to need an extraction
- Less discomfort
While these benefits are excellent, not all patients are candidates. Fastbraces do not work for severe bite issues but rather work best for cosmetic concerns. If you have an underbite or a crossbite, talk to your dentist in Silver Spring, MD, to see if you need traditional braces instead of Fastbraces.
Clear Fastbraces
Many patients who are interested in Fastbraces are also interested in having more cosmetically appealing teeth, even while in treatment. Clear Fastbraces can help with this. Clear Fastbraces use clear or tooth-colored brackets and a clear wire to perform the treatment without the look of metal brackets and wire.
With clear Fastbraces, you can embrace straighter teeth with nearly invisible braces and more quickly than is possible with clear aligner systems. Like the metal brackets system, clear Fastbraces work best for mild alignment issues, not major bite concerns.
