Imagine achieving a straighter smile in just 120 days instead of the typical 2-3 years. That's the promise of FastBraces technology, available at Discovery Dental in Katy, TX. But how does it work, and is it right for you?
How FastBraces Work
Traditional braces work in two stages: first moving the crown (visible part) of the tooth, then the root. This sequential approach is why treatment often takes 2-3 years.
FastBraces uses a patented triangular bracket design and specially shaped wires that move both the crown and root simultaneously from day one. This parallel movement dramatically reduces treatment time—often to just 3 months to a year.
Benefits of FastBraces
Speed: Most patients complete treatment in 3-12 months rather than 2-3 years.
Comfort: The gentle, continuous forces mean less discomfort than traditional braces.
Safety: Despite faster movement, FastBraces is backed by decades of research and clinical use.
Affordability: Shorter treatment time often means lower overall cost.
Convenience: Fewer office visits mean less time away from work and activities.
Who is a Candidate?
FastBraces can treat many of the same issues as traditional orthodontics, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, complex cases may still require traditional treatment.
During your consultation at Discovery Dental, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your bite, take X-rays, and determine whether FastBraces is the best option for achieving your smile goals.
The Technology Behind the Speed
FastBraces isn't about cutting corners—it's about smarter mechanics. The triangular bracket and unique wire configuration create a different force pattern that allows for safe, accelerated tooth movement. Millions of patients worldwide have achieved great results with this technology.
