What are Fastbraces?
Fastbraces® is an innovative orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth more quickly than traditional braces. Utilizing a unique triangular bracket system and a single heat-activated wire, Fastbraces® move both the crown and root of the tooth simultaneously, reducing treatment time significantly.
Unlike conventional braces that typically move the crown first and the root later, Fastbraces®’ approach allows for faster and more efficient alignment. This method not only shortens the overall treatment duration but also aims to minimize discomfort and the number of dental visits required. Whether you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, or bite issues, Fastbraces® offers a modern solution for achieving a confident smile in less time.
How Fastbraces® Work
Fastbraces® use an innovative design to move teeth faster and more efficiently than traditional braces. Unlike conventional braces, which first move the crown of the tooth and then the root, Fastbraces® move both simultaneously. This unique approach shortens treatment time while still delivering precise, lasting results.

Fastbraces® vs. Other Orthodontic Options
Fastbraces® offer a unique approach to straightening teeth, making them stand out among orthodontic treatments. Here’s how they compare to Invisalign® and traditional braces:
Fastbraces® vs. Traditional Braces
Traditional braces move teeth in two phases, first adjusting the crown and then the root, which can take longer. Fastbraces® move both simultaneously, significantly shortening treatment time while still effectively correcting alignment issues.
Fastbraces® vs. Invisalign®
Invisalign® uses removable clear aligners, which are nearly invisible and convenient for eating, but may take longer for complex cases. Fastbraces® are fixed braces that work continuously, making them a faster option for many patients, especially for moderate to severe alignment problems.
