Fastbraces Vs Traditional Braces Benefits

Expedited Treatment Timeline

Dr. Thomas offers both Turbo and Classic FastBraces. For the right patient, Turbo FastBraces can help you achieve your desired results in as little as 120 days after placement, while Classic FastBraces can straighten your smile in about 180 days. When compared to traditional braces, the difference is dramatic. In general, traditional braces take anywhere from one to two years to achieve your end results.

FastBraces are designed to simultaneously move the entire tooth, from root to crown, rather than using two separate treatment phases.

This expedited treatment timeline is made possible through modern hardware that starts straightening the roots of the teeth as soon as the braces are placed. In general, ordinary braces would only move the crown, or the area above the gum line, during the first phase of treatment, with treatment focusing on root movement during the second phase. In contrast, FastBraces can achieve both of these goals at the same time.

State-of-the-Art Materials

While traditional braces use square brackets, FastBraces use triangular brackets to increase the space between brackets. This increased area allows for greater flexibility of the wire, resulting in the increased torque necessary to move the entire tooth – from root to crown – at once.
