Fastbraces have been around for a quarter century and are used in over 50 countries, so they have been thoroughly tested to know they are safe and effective. Yet surprisingly few American dentists have any experience with them, though Dr. Ada does.
Why are they called Fastbraces? They use several advanced technologies and techniques that speed up the normal 2-3 year orthodontic process. First, they use a triangular bracket to move the root of each tooth at the same time as a square wire moves the crown or top of the tooth. Traditional braces slowly move the crown first over an entire year using a square bracket, then a round wire is used for the root, but the process is inefficient because of this outdated technology.
A series of subsonic and phototherapy applications also speed up the process by stimulating the body cells known as osteoclasts and osteoblasts, which help remove and replace the bone in the dental arches. The net result is that whatever the prognosis might be for the individual’s conventional orthodontic braces to achieve their goal, the time can typically be cut in half with Fastbraces.
There are other advantages over traditional braces.:
- One is that soft tissues are protected because Fastbraces have limited impact the gums.
- Two, they are lighter than regular braces.
- Three, there is no need for teeth to be extracted or for jaw surgery before the orthodontic treatment starts.
- Four, there is no risk of root resorption, the loss of the root structure of a tooth, as sometimes happens with conventional braces.
- Five, Fastbraces are smaller and can be clear, so less visible, if you don’t want others knowing you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, usually associated with teenagers.
- Six, they are suitable for all ages.
- It’s much easier to clean Fastbraces than other types of braces.
