When it comes to straightening your teeth, there are several options available, with Fastbraces® and traditional braces being two of the most popular. Both are designed to correct dental issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, or bite problems. However, they differ in treatment time, comfort, and overall effectiveness. If you’re considering braces, understanding these differences can help you make an informed choice.
Traditional braces are the most well-known and widely used method for orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal brackets attached to your teeth and connected with wires. Over time, these braces gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions.
Traditional braces are highly effective for a wide range of dental issues, including complex cases that may require major adjustments to the teeth and jaws.
One key characteristic of traditional braces is the longer treatment time, which typically lasts 18 months to 3 years, depending on the complexity of your case. Treatment usually involves regular orthodontic visits for adjustments, and in some cases, extractions may be necessary to create space for alignment.
Fastbraces® is an innovative orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth significantly faster than traditional braces. This system uses a unique triangular bracket design and a specialised wire that allows for more efficient tooth movement.
A standout feature of Fastbraces® is the shorter treatment time. Most patients see results in as little as 90 to 120 days, making it an excellent choice for people seeking fast results. In many cases, tooth extractions are not required, making the process more comfortable and less invasive.
