Fastbraces New Rochelle, NY
Fastbraces® is a comprehensive orthodontic solution to such alignment issues by utilizing patented technology to quickly move teeth into the proper position. Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic concern, but modern orthodontic treatments can help. Individuals who live with crooked teeth also typically have what orthodontists call a "bad bite."
Fastbraces is available at Zen Dentistry Westchester in New Rochelle and the surrounding area. Like traditional braces, Fastbraces offers a long-term solution and utilizes doctor-recommended treatment plans. This technology has the potential to correct bite problems and malocclusions, including underbites, overbites, spacing/gaps, crowding and crooked teeth, crossbites, and open bites, via breakthrough technology that does away with the months to years-long process of traditional braces. Many patients see the desired results within as little as 100 days.
Fastbraces offer several benefits that old-style braces do not. If you are interested in aligning your teeth, talk to an orthodontist about this revolutionary treatment. Call Zen Dentistry Westchester at (914) 826-8363 to learn more.
How Fastbraces Work
Whereas traditional braces use square brackets and a series of differently shaped wires over the course of two to three years, as explained by the California Association of Orthodontics, Fastbraces brackets utilize a unique triangular shape and a single, square-shaped wire over a period of three months to about one year. The triangular brackets allow for a wider gap between wire connection points, which enables Fastbraces to move both the crown and the root of each tooth simultaneously. The consolidation of these two types of movement shortens the overall treatment time.
“Fastbraces brackets utilize a unique triangular shape and a single, square-shaped wire over a period of three months to about one year.”
The Benefits of Fastbraces
As the MedCrave Journal of Dental Health, Oral Disorders & Therapy concludes, the most obvious benefit of Fastbraces is the technology's ability to deliver noticeable results in a matter of days. For an adult patient, the average length of braces treatment is between 18 months and three years. The average treatment time for Fastbraces is just a fraction of that, at as little as 100 days.
A major reason for the shortened treatment time is the fact that Fastbraces® works on straightening the roots from the get-go. With traditional braces, treatment involves spending the first year or so moving the crowns of the teeth into the appropriate position, explains Harvard Health Publishing. Only once the crowns are in place can the dental professional begin to move the roots into place. Also, the Fastbraces® system utilizes a single wire from start to finish, whereas the traditional braces system uses several. This means fewer tightening procedures and continued comfort throughout the duration of care.
Another benefit of Fastbraces® over traditional wire ones is decreased pain. In fact, during the initial trial runs, dentists never prescribed pain medication to the over 1,000 patients who underwent treatment. A third notable advantage of Fastbraces® is that, because the treatment time is so fast, dental professionals can address other pressing dental issues more quickly. For instance, if a patient needs implants but cannot have them installed because of crooked teeth, this system can make tooth restoration possible in a matter of months as opposed to years.

How to Keep Fastbraces Clean
Good oral hygiene is vital for everyone, but especially for people who wear braces, including Fastbraces. The brackets used during braces treatment are an ideal place for bacteria to hide and grow. Therefore it is important to thoroughly clean the mouth, teeth, and braces after every meal and after drinking anything that would tend to stain the teeth.
A study published in The Journal Nutrition Research found that any high-acid beverages, not just the obvious ones like coffee and red wine, cause dental erosion and tooth staining. Many people are shocked when they get their braces off and discover that the area where the brackets were attached are considerably whiter than the surrounding area. Avoid this by practicing good oral hygiene and getting regular cleanings while wearing Fastbraces®.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How are Fastbraces different from traditional braces?
A. The traditional braces system uses a two-step process that moves first the crowns of the teeth and then the roots. This process can cause unnecessary discomfort for the patient and additional wear on the teeth. Fastbraces combines these two steps into one resulting in less pain and quicker treatment times.
Q. How do Fastbraces work?
A. These braces utilize triangular brackets instead of the traditional square ones. The difference in shape makes a world of difference, as the triangular brackets allow for more space between the braces. The additional space provides more leverage for the wires to redirect the roots of the teeth. Once the roots are in place, the crowns will follow.
Q. Who makes a good Fastbraces patient?
A. This system is a great treatment option for children, teenagers, and adults alike. A dentist may recommend this procedure to any person who wants straighter teeth quickly and conveniently, with minimal discomfort. Dentists may recommend Fastbraces® to young patients because they offer a more comfortable and less comprehensive treatment experience.
Q. Is a retainer necessary after Fastbraces treatment?
A. Once treatment is complete, retention is necessary to keep the teeth in place. However, patients only need to wear the retainer for 15 to 20 minutes a day. Many patients opt to wear it at night.
Q. How long is the Fastbraces treatment time?
A. As with any orthodontic treatment, treatment time varies depending on the extent of the problem, patient care, and other factors. However, the average time is between three months to a year. Many patients see a noticeable improvement within weeks.
