Orthodontic Treatment Before & Afters
Fix Teeth Fast
What are Fastbraces?
Fastbraces are an innovative orthodontic system that moves teeth roots and crowns simultaneously, significantly reducing treatment time. Dr. Yeo and Dr. Tan use this patented triangular bracket design and special heat-activated wire to efficiently align your teeth without extractions in many cases. Fastbraces offer a quicker, more comfortable alternative to traditional braces for patients seeking a straighter smile.
What is the difference between Fastbraces and Invisalign?
Fastbraces and Invisalign are both modern orthodontic treatments designed to straighten teeth, but they differ in several key aspects:
- Visibility: Fastbraces use visible brackets and wires, while Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible.
- Treatment time: Fastbraces typically work faster, with treatment times ranging from 3 to 12 months. Invisalign usually takes 12 to 18 months.
- Removability: Fastbraces are fixed to the teeth, while Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
- Comfort: Both options are more comfortable than traditional braces, but Invisalign may cause less irritation to cheeks and gums.
- Eating restrictions: With Fastbraces, patients must avoid certain foods. Invisalign allows for normal eating habits as aligners are removed during meals.
- Cleaning: Fastbraces require careful brushing around brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners can be removed for easy cleaning of both the aligners and teeth.
- Effectiveness: Fastbraces may be more suitable for complex cases, while Invisalign works well for mild to moderate alignment issues.
- Cost: Fastbraces are often less expensive than Invisalign, but costs can vary depending on individual cases and providers.
The best choice between Fastbraces and Invisalign depends on individual needs, preferences, and the specific orthodontic issues being addressed. Consultation with Dr. Jamie Yeo, DDS, and Dr. Rosita Tan, DMD is essential for making the right decision.
Get Things Moving
What is the procedure for Fastbraces like?
Fastbraces work differently than traditional braces. Ordinarily, orthodontic devices first move tooth roots & then crowns in a long, multi-step process. The unique design of Fastbraces enables us to move those roots & crowns at the same time, drastically reducing treatment time.
The Fastbraces Technology high performance bracket bracket systems allow for movement of the roots of the teeth towards their final positions from the beginning of treatment by torquing them from the very first appointment. Patients can now get results often with less sensitivity, in times measured in weeks or months rather, not years. They have been developed and tested over the past 30 years and available in multiple countries around the world. With the patented triangular design of the braces, cutting edge techniques and a special heat activated wire, this new technology is revolutionizing the field of orthodontics by now allowing both general dentists and specialists orthodontists to offer very efficient nonextraction comprehensive orthodontic treatment to their patients.
