For those many people out there who haven’t heard of Fastbraces, Milford Dentists explain it is the revolutionary system of fast, safe, easy and affordable braces that is changing the field of orthodontics.  It is a complete, non-extraction system for most cases, which provides patients with outstanding results. 

 

Traditional braces move teeth into position in two stages, usually over a period of about two years. In the first year, the crown of the tooth is moved into alignment. In the second year, treatment addresses the position of the root of the tooth. However, the brackets used with Fastbraces work on a different mechanical principle altogether. The patented system uses an innovative triangular bracket and a specially- shaped square wire to correct the position of the root of the tooth, from the beginning of treatment. This combination is key in realigning the root and crown simultaneously, taking from three months to about a year.

 

With the complete alignment of the roots of the teeth, a retainer is needed every day for only 15-20 minutes (“Tooth Shampoo”.) Some people like wearing the retainers at night (“Teeth pajamas”). No more retainers for hours during the day for months after treatment. This is yet another reason why Fastbraces Technology is changing the way orthodontics is done altogether. 

 

As Milford Dentists explain Fastbraces Technology was first introduced in 1992 and there have been great success stories around the world. Both children and adults have seen the benefits of this innovative system. The confidence that is gained from having a healthy, beautiful smile is priceless.

 

The first step to a great smile at Milford Dentists is to meet one-on-one with Karen Hobbs to determine if you are a candidate for the Fastbraces system. Next, impressions and x-rays are taken to help Andrea Clarke create a customised treatment plan designed specifically for your smile. Please note that you have to be dentally fit to have orthodontics i.e. had a checkup and bitewing x-rays within the last six months and have healthy gums.
