Quick Guide to Fastbraces® for Adult Teeth Straightening

If you want to undergo teeth straightening as an adult, but want to avoid spending several months before getting results, then Fastbraces® might be the system you need. The brace system has been tried and tested as a comfortable and safe way to straighten the teeth within a short period. In most cases, you only need a few months or about a year to complete treatment. The system is versatile and can be used to correct different types of orthodontic issues.

How Fastbraces® work

Fastbraces® is an innovative teeth straightening system that utilizes a patented triangular design, unique mechanism and a special heat-activated wire to shift the roots of the teeth toward their proper position from the start of treatment. The system has been in use for more than two decades. The Fastbraces® process starts with a consultation with the dentist, who will take x-rays and images of the teeth to develop a customized treatment plan that works for the patient.

Unlike traditional braces that have square-shaped brackets, Fastbraces® have triangular-shaped brackets that use low forces to move the teeth. It has a single, highly-flexible and strong wire that holds the entire set of braces together. The brackets have special elbows that make the wire more flexible. Regular fixed braces move the crown of the tooth first before shifting the tooth root, while the mechanism of Fastbraces® allows it to move the crown and the tooth root at the same time comfortably and gently, thus speeding up the overall treatment process.

Fastbraces® are particularly common among adults who need to straighten their teeth quickly. The braces begin to move the tooth roots from the first day of installation, which means it is feasible to complete treatment in half the time required for traditional braces. Patients who only require minimal realignment may only need about three months of treatment. The results are usually noticeable in only a few weeks after treatment begins.

Benefits of getting Fastbraces

There are other advantages to consider with Fastbraces® than the speed of treatment. Adults who are worried about the appearance of the braces can opt for tooth-colored options in some cases. There is also minimal risk of tooth decay since the device will not stay on the teeth for too long. Due to the nature of the treatment, patients can expect fewer dental appointments than regular braces.

After the procedure

Like most teeth straightening procedures, patients will need to wear a retainer regularly for some time after the dentist takes off the braces. This is necessary to ensure the teeth do not move back to their previous positions until they have become firmly rooted in the jawbone. Fastbraces are unique because patients will only need to wear the retainer for about 20 minutes daily, which should not cause any disruption to their daily routine.

In conclusion

Fastbraces are highly effective for correcting crooked teeth. It is suitable for adults looking for a means to straighten their teeth quickly and discreetly. If this is something you are interested in, you can contact the dentist to know if you are eligible for the treatment.
