Is Fastbraces Teeth Straightening Right for You?
If you’re looking for a fast teeth straightening treatment to give you a picture-perfect smile, Fastbraces could be just what you need. As the name implies, speed is one of the greatest advantages of this orthodontic treatment. At Covington Family Dentistry, we offer Fastbraces orthodontics to our patients in Covington, Georgia, and nearby communities. As many of our patients are unfamiliar with this treatment, Dr. Doreen Wilson would like to take this opportunity to answer any questions you may have about Fastbraces here.
What is Fastbraces?
Fastbraces offers an alternative to traditional metal braces and clear aligner therapy for realigning crooked teeth. The system attributes its fast results to a system of triangular brackets attached to your teeth, connected by a square-shaped metal wire that shifts both the crown and roots of your teeth simultaneously. With Fastbraces, your teeth will move safely and smoothly into a straighter position with much less friction than traditional braces and in much less time than Invisalign. Â
How do Fastbraces compare with traditional braces?
On average, Fastbraces are more cost-effective than traditional braces, and the treatment doesn’t require as many dental visits. Fastbraces offer greater comfort and shorter treatment times than traditional braces, which minimizes the risk of plaque buildup on teeth and resultant dental issues. Fastbraces also offer the option of ceramic or metal brackets, with the ceramic brackets being more discreet.
How long do Fastbraces take to work?
Fastbraces is known as accelerated orthodontics because it provides rapid results. Depending on the problems that need to be fixed, treatment times range from three months to a year. In contrast, people often wear traditional braces for two or more years to straighten their teeth.
Is Fastbraces orthodontics painful?
The triangular brackets used for this system are smooth and less abrasive, which minimizes irritation. You may experience slight discomfort when the wire is tightened due to pressure being placed on your teeth. This also occurs with other orthodontic treatments. Once you get used to the pressure, the discomfort is minimal.
Am I a good candidate for Fastbraces?
After an oral evaluation, Dr. Wilson can determine if Fastbraces is a good fit for you. Like traditional braces, this system can correct an array of orthodontic issues, ranging from crooked and misaligned teeth to spacing problems, malocclusion, and problems with overcrowding. If you have impacted teeth, TMJ problems, or a fragile jawbone, Fastbraces Orthodontics is not the best choice for you.
Do I have to wear a retainer at the end of my Fastbraces treatment?
Yes, you will need to use a retainer to keep your teeth in alignment after your straightening procedure. However, you only have to use it for 15 to 20 minutes daily instead of all night, like other orthodontic treatments.
