FASTBRACES(R) Treatment: A Step-by-Step Guide

Considering orthodontic treatment and interested in learning more about what to expect? At Strongsville Smile Keepers in Strongsville, OH, your comfort and results are important to us. We specialize in FASTBRACES, a revolutionary orthodontic system designed to straighten teeth faster and more comfortably than traditional braces. Here’s a comprehensive guide to what you can expect from start to finish during your FASTBRACES treatment.

Overview of the FASTBRACES System

FASTBRACES is an advanced orthodontic technology designed to move and realign teeth quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional braces, which typically move the crown of the tooth first and then the root, FASTBRACES are engineered to move both simultaneously. This innovative process significantly reduces treatment time, often allowing patients to achieve their desired results in as little as three months to a year. FASTBRACES use a unique triangular bracket and a super flexible wire to apply gentle pressure, guiding teeth into their proper positions more swiftly.

Initial Setup and Fitting

The journey with FASTBRACES begins with a comprehensive consultation with us. During this visit, Dr. Gaebelein, a senior master provider of FASTBRACES, will evaluate your dental condition, discuss your goals, and determine if FASTBRACES is the right solution for you. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll take detailed impressions, photographs, and X-rays of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. The fitting process involves placing the triangular brackets on your teeth and connecting them with the super flexible wire. This procedure is typically quick and painless, and our team ensures that you’re comfortable throughout. We’ll provide detailed instructions on caring for your FASTBRACES and maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

Periodic Adjustments

You’ll need to visit our office periodically for adjustments throughout your treatment. These appointments are usually scheduled every two weeks. During these visits, Dr. Gaebelein will check the progress of your teeth movement and make any necessary adjustments to the wire to ensure that your treatment stays on track.

Adjustments are generally quick and involve minor modifications to the wire or brackets. Our team will also address any concerns and provide guidance on maintaining your braces and oral health between visits.

Monitoring Progress

One key benefit of FASTBRACES is the relatively short treatment duration compared to traditional braces. However, it’s essential to monitor progress closely to ensure optimal results. At each appointment, we’ll assess how your teeth are moving and make any necessary adjustments to keep everything on schedule. Since the overall treatment time of FASTBRACES is shorter than conventional braces, another benefit is that you will have to make fewer office visits overall!

Completion and Retainer Use

Once your teeth have moved into their desired positions, it’s time to remove the FASTBRACES. This is an exciting milestone, as you’ll finally get to see your new, beautifully aligned smile. The removal process is straightforward and typically quick. After removing the braces, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer. Wearing a retainer is crucial to maintaining your new smile, as it helps keep your teeth in their new positions. We’ll provide instructions on how to wear and care for your retainer, helping to ensure that your results last a lifetime.

Conclusion

FASTBRACES offers a fast, effective, and comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile. From the initial consultation to the final retainer fitting, our team at Strongsville Smile Keepers is dedicated to providing exceptional care and support throughout your orthodontic journey.
