What is Fastbraces?

Fastbraces uses a patented triangular bracket and specially designed wire to move the crown and root of the tooth at the same time. This different tooth movement approach is what allows treatment to be completed much more quickly than many traditional brace systems, with typical treatment times of around 3 to 12 months and some cases finishing in only a matter of weeks.

Because Fastbraces is a fixed brace system, it is often a very good option for patients who want the teeth-straightening benefits of orthodontic treatment but do not want to rely on the discipline needed to wear removable aligners for the recommended number of hours each day.
