Fastbraces

We are extremely excited to announce the arrival of Fastbraces at Progressive Dentistry. Fastbraces is an orthodontic system developed in the USA. As the name suggests, the technique is generally far quicker than conventional techniques.

What Is Fastbraces?

Fastbraces is a unique fixed dental brace that is fitted to the outside of the teeth. It is unlike any other dental brace system.

How Do Fastbraces Work?

The reason Fastbraces is so different is that the unique brackets and wires move the teeth and roots at the SAME time and from the very beginning of treatment. In typical cases, the teeth are moved first (in the first year) and then the roots of the teeth are moved (in the second year). The aim of Fastbraces is to straighten teeth quickly, in an easy and safe manner and provide a stable result.

How Quickly Can Teeth Be Straightened?

In simple cases, treatment can be in as little as 3 visits or 3 months. The more complex cases may require more time but usually HALF the time as a conventional brace.

Can I Have Fastbraces?

Yes, Fastbraces are suitable for adults and children.

Does Fastbraces Have An Invisible Brace Option?

Although not invisible, there is a fantastic ceramic brace which is very discreet. This has just been released and provides an aesthetic solution for those who do not wish to wear metal brackets.

Are Fastbraces Stable?

Yes fastbraces are very stable. This has been proved with over 20 years of cases and studies. In fact, Fastbraces are the only company that provide a WORLDWIDE LIFE TIME SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. Yes, this is correct. A life time guarantee! This means that if you need braces again for whatever reason, you will NOT have to pay again for Fastbraces in your lifetime.

When Can I Start?

Straight away! Call us today.

Invisalign Comprehensive to Close Spaces and Improve the Bite

Our patient was told it was impossible but we managed to straighten her teeth

We love a challenge especially when it concerns teeth straightening and our case of the month treated in October was a great one. Our lovely patient came to us to straighten her front teeth only after years of being down about her smile. She was told by several dentists that it simply was not possible without going through a long drawn out full mouth orthodontic plan. We were happy to take on the challenge head on and after some careful planning, Dr Nissit Patel was able to provide a great result in a few m… CONTINUE READING

Invisalign Comprehensive for severe crowding

Our case of the month for February is a fantastic one which highlights the extent of the versatility of the Invisalign system. It truly is a replacement for fixed braces with many benefits. In the past, it was correct to say that certain cases could not be treated with Invisalign and that fixed ( train track) braces were the only option. However, times change, technology advances and the advent of digital dentistry has changed the landscape of dental care.… CONTINUE READING
