Instead of the traditional two-stage process, Fastbraces applied decades of research and testing to discover a technique that moves both the crown and the root of the tooth at the same time. A long and sometimes painful process, traditional orthodontics first moves the crown to the desired location before then correcting the root, or foundation, of each tooth. Using triangular brackets with an elbow design and square torqueing wire, each Fastbraces treatment gently shifts the entire tooth at once, drastically decreasing treatment time and minimizing the amount of discomfort and sensitivity. This patented technology is designed to avoid tooth extractions whenever possible and achieve long-term results using advanced short-term treatment.
