How Does Fastbraces Technology Work?
September 5, 2017
Are you looking for easy orthodontics in Weymouth, MA. At Comfort Dental, we may be able to fit you with a set of Fastbraces®. Dr. Moghaddam treats patients with this revolutionary technology to improve results and speed treatment times.
Why Are Traditional Braces Slow?
Traditional braces work well for what they do, but treatment times are lengthy. Orthodontists treat crooked teeth in two phases using the same tools. The wires and brackets affixed to the teeth straighten the top crowns of the teeth first. Later they straighten the roots of the teeth.
Each phase might take years to complete, and you must attend multiple visits to the orthodontist for adjustments and repairs. If there is a problem, it can lead to delays.
Fast Braces Use Geometry
Unlike regular braces, Fastbraces use the simple geometric principles of triangulation and leverage to produce faster results.
- Triangle shaped brackets affix to your teeth
- A tension wire stretches through them
- Pressure placed on brackets moves the entire tooth at the root
Instead of waiting to align the root of the teeth, Fastbraces get right to the problem by shifting the whole tooth all at once. With the base of your teeth corrected, the tops appear straight and perfectly aligned as well.
From a patient’s, this method is preferable when it’s possible. The technology improves efficiency of your treatment with a few variations on the standard method. We can treat your crooked teeth in fewer sessions and make more dramatic improvements with each visit to our office. You get to enjoy your new smile sooner. In some cases, you only need to wear these braces for a few months instead of years.
We prefer to use Fastbraces, but every patient’s situation is unique. To find out if you are a candidate for this procedure, get into contact with our office. Schedule your appointment to meet with Dr. Moghaddam today.
