If you are thinking about orthodontic treatment, you are probably focused on the esthetic result. It’s exciting to think about smiling again with confidence!

While esthetics are important, you probably haven’t given much thought to the long-term health effects of orthodontic treatment. It’s true that treatments like Invisalign and Fastbraces can dramatically alter your appearance, but straighter teeth also result in a healthier smile.

The Problem With Crooked Teeth

You already know that crooked teeth have a negative impact on the appearance of your smile. But many patients in Dallas who are interested in orthodontics, may not realize how a misaligned smile impacts overall oral health. Here are a few examples of oral health problems related to crooked or crowded teeth.

Difficulty Cleaning: If you don’t have clean teeth, you don’t have a healthy smile. Proper oral hygiene is essential if you want to enjoy a lifetime free of dental problems. Crooked or crowded teeth make it difficult to practice good oral hygiene because you may not be able to floss between them. This puts you at risk for decay and periodontal disease.

Increased Orthodontic Problems: When one or more teeth are crooked or crowded, surrounding teeth start to shift as well. Your teeth are constantly moving, and as the root of a crooked tooth tilts to one side or the other, adjacent teeth follow. Putting off treatment may result in increased orthodontic problems down the road.

Dental Bite: If you have untreated orthodontic issues, you can end up with a misaligned dental bite. This means that teeth on one side of your mouth bite down harder on one side than the other. This can lead to a variety of problems including excess wear on teeth, jaw pain, and even TMJ.

Teeth that are misaligned and crooked are not only unattractive, but can also be a threat to oral health. Fastbraces adult orthodontics are a revolutionary new treatment system with many benefits.

Fastbraces are an orthodontic treatment that requires shorter treatment times than traditional braces. The Dallas Fastbraces Dentist offers this innovative treatment approach to correcting misaligned teeth quickly and affordably.

How do Fastbraces work?

Roots of teeth that are out of proper alignment tilt to one side or the other, instead of straight up and down. Conventional braces correct misalignment by first correcting the alignment of the root and then repositioning the crown. Fastbraces, on the other hand, moves root and crown together, significantly reducing treatment time.

Fastbraces work by using a patented triangular braces design that can straighten teeth in a year or less. The benefit of this unique design is that it creates more space between the brackets for greater flexibility and straightening of the root and crown together.

Advantages of Fastbraces Treatment

Efficient

Correcting tooth alignment with conventional braces can as long as two years because shifting the position of the root and crown are done separately. The Dallas Fastbraces Dentist uses this unique system because it is more efficient, repositioning the root and the crown of the teeth at the same time. The result is much shorter treatment times.

Traditional braces usually require visits to the dentist at about three to four week intervals for tightening and adjustment of brackets. With Fastbraces treatment you schedule appointments at about six week intervals.

Safe and Effective

Not everyone is familiar with Fastbraces, but they are not new. They have been used safely and successfully for 20 years. Patients who have used Fastbraces treatment report that they experience minimal sensitivity and discomfort because of the unique design of the brackets used. This history, combined with extensive research, backs up the effectiveness of the treatment.

Affordable

The Fastbraces system uses the highest quality brackets available to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment. However, the treatment requires less time to complete so it costs about a third less than treatment using traditional braces.

Do you have crooked teeth that cause embarrassment when you smile? There are so many great options for straightening teeth today, like Fastbraces®, which are a fairly new development in the field of orthodontics. Dental technology keeps changing and improving treatments, and you really have many more options than just a few years ago.
 
Fastbraces® orthodontics are a great example of a new technology that have revolutionized the way we approach orthodontic treatment, while significantly reducing treatment times for patients. Using this system, the Dallas Fastbraces® Dentist can correct misaligned teeth in a much shorter amount of time than with traditional braces.

How Do Fastbraces® Work?

When teeth are misaligned, the root portion of a tooth tilts to one side. This causes the crown or visible portion of the tooth to tilt in the opposite direction. Treatment with traditional braces can take up to two years to properly align your teeth, because they work by first correcting the alignment of the root. This part of treatment alone can take up to a year to complete, and it takes another year or more to correct alignment of the crown portion.

By contrast, Fastbraces® are designed to alter the position of the root and crown simultaneously as soon as treatment begins. Fastbraces® are also unique because the system uses a completely unique method for altering tooth alignment. Brackets and uniquely-shaped wires are used to correct the misalignment. In some cases treatment can be completed by the dentist in just a few months.

Are Fastbraces® Comfortable?

Patients report less discomfort with Fastbraces® treatment than patients who undergo treatment with traditional braces. The fact that a patient spends less time wearing braces also means that there is less likelihood of developing serious oral health issues due to improper oral hygiene.
