A FASTER PATH TO A STRAIGHTER SMILE

Fastbraces: Enjoy Reduced Treatment Time

If you want to straighten your teeth with Invisalign or traditional braces, treatment takes an average of 12-24 months. However, you can cut your treatment time in half by considering Fastbraces. But how does this orthodontic system speed up the treatment process so much? The “magic” is in how the method makes the teeth move. Conventional metal braces use square brackets to straighten the teeth in two phases. The first step is moving the crown, followed by the roots. Each stage may take about one year, hence the lengthy treatment time. Fastbraces use triangular brackets to straighten your teeth. The triangular shape makes the wire more flexible, allowing the system to simultaneously move your teeth from the roots to the crown. Fastbraces engage your entire tooth structure at a go, thus speeding up your treatment time.

Are Fastbraces effective?

How FASTBRACES® Works

The average treatment time for Fastbraces is six months! Given their speed, most patients always wonder whether there is a catch. Fastbraces are as effective as traditional braces, only that they
do the job faster. The faster treatment is possible due to advanced materials that enable moving your teeth in a one-step process.

Orthodontic Evaluation

Dr. Doreen Wilson or Dr. John Hendricks evaluates your teeth, bite, gums, dental health, alignment concerns, and treatment goals to determine whether Fast Braces are appropriate.

Diagnostic Records & Treatment Planning

Clinical records are reviewed so the dentist can plan the tooth movements, expected treatment sequence, and appliance setup.

Place the FASTBRACES® System

Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with the prescribed wire to begin controlled orthodontic movement.

Monitor & Adjust Treatment

Progress is checked during scheduled visits, and the appliance is managed according to how your teeth and bite are responding.

Complete Active Treatment & Retain the Result

Once the planned tooth movement is complete, the braces are removed and a retention plan is provided to help maintain the new positions.

THE BENEFITS

Benefits of of Fastbraces

Speed is the obvious advantage of accelerated orthodontics. However, this is hardly the only benefit of Fastbraces. Fastbraces offer numerous benefits, including:

They are more comfortable because they use a flexible wire
They are cost-effective due to fewer dental appointments
Fastbraces are natural-looking because of inconspicuous ceramic brackets
Easier tooth cleaning as they have fewer parts

Potentially Shorter Treatment

FASTBRACES® is designed to reduce treatment time for suitable patients. Some cases may be completed in a matter of months, but timing varies.

Efficient Tooth Movement

The system's bracket-and-wire design is intended to move the crown and root together as part of the alignment process.

Doctor-Directed Orthodontic Care

Your treatment is evaluated, planned, monitored, and adjusted by your dental provider rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all appliance.

Fixed Appliance Convenience

Because the braces remain attached to the teeth, there is no need to remember to insert and remove aligner trays.

Alignment & Function

Orthodontic treatment can improve tooth alignment and may help improve biting, chewing, oral hygiene access, and smile appearance.

A Personalized Alternative

Fast Braces can be compared with conventional braces and Candid Clear Aligners so you can choose the option that best fits your needs and goals.

ORTHODONTIC CONCERNS

What Can Fast Braces Help Correct?

Crooked Teeth

Fast Braces may be used to guide crooked teeth into improved alignment when the case is appropriate for the system.
Crowding

Selected crowding cases may be treated by creating and using available space to improve tooth position.
Spacing

Gaps between teeth may be reduced through planned orthodontic movement.
Rotated or Uneven Teeth

Selected rotations and tooth-position irregularities may respond to fixed orthodontic treatment.
Selected Bite Problems

Some bite relationships can be improved with braces, while more complex jaw or skeletal problems may require a different orthodontic approach or specialist evaluation.

FAST DOESN'T MEAN ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

The source page promotes treatment in as little as six months, while the FASTBRACES® manufacturer states that selected cases may be completed in even shorter periods. These figures should be treated as examples of possible treatment time — not a guarantee. Your actual treatment length depends on the severity of the alignment problem, bite correction required, biology of tooth movement, oral health, appliance care, and attendance at follow-up visits.

IS FASTBRACES® RIGHT FOR YOU?

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fast Braces?

Fast Braces may be an option for teens or adults with healthy teeth and gums who want fixed orthodontic treatment and have an alignment problem suitable for the system.

You have crooked, crowded, spaced, or rotated teeth that need orthodontic correction.
Your teeth and gums are healthy enough to begin orthodontic treatment.
You want to explore a fixed-appliance option with the potential for a shorter treatment timeline.
You are willing to maintain excellent brushing and flossing around brackets and wires.
You understand that some complex bite, skeletal, impacted-tooth, or jaw conditions may require another treatment approach or specialist referral.

Your consultation should compare Fast Braces with other appropriate orthodontic options so the recommendation is based on your clinical needs rather than speed alone.

PATIENT STORIES

What Our Patients Say

“This office has the friendliest, most cheerful staff I’ve ever encountered in a medical facility.”

lynn Sammons

“Very customer service-oriented, thorough and congenial service. That’s why we drive over 70 miles round-trip to get their service for more than 20 years”

R Jackson

“Great Staff”

Phillip King

“Staff is polite, professional and caring. They are knowledgeable and willing to help.”

F. Mullins

“I came in as a new patient, and my first visit was disappointing. It took nearly two hours just to complete an exam, X-rays, and have the dentist check my teeth. I was placed in a room where the equipment wasn't functioning properly, which caused even more delays. The nurses didn't seem to be communicating well with each other. Every few minutes, someone would come in, then leave, and I would often wait another 20–25 minutes before anyone returned. The lack of coordination made the visit feel much longer than it needed to be. On a positive note, the office was clean and looked professional. However, because of the long wait and disorganization, my first impression wasn't great. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 6/10.”

Laura Torres

“This is the bestest experience I’ve ever gotten from a dental office. Top notch customer service. Every step of the way, all was explained before proceeding. The team was pleasant from beginning to the end. Normally when I go to any medical facility the doctors are not always nice but this doctor, she came in and introduced herself while shaking my hand. Wow. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!😃”

Holiness unto the Lord

“Three stars given because the lady handling my case was very rude. Upon me initialing coming I had a balance due to insurance not covering an X-ray. That’s fine. I don’t do outstanding balances and was prepared to pay on my second visit along with my copay. Upon my second visit I was informed I had no outstanding balances and only had to pay my co pay. Cool. Then on my 3rd appointment the lady tells me I have an outstanding balance and I questioned her due to being told 4 weeks prior I was paid in full. She immediately got rude with me and insisted I pay my co pay now and she will tell me after my appointment. Upon her entering my $76.80 copay SHE CHARGED MY CARD FOR $7380!!!!!!! no apology or kindness. I understand mistakes happen and the charge was reversed but kindness goes a long way and her energy was off from the beginning. I will say the office manager did come correct and provided rest assurance and the remaining staff have always been pleasant.”

zion milon

“The dental services were awesome however the administrative staff had much to be desired. Their professionalism is at an all time low. Unfortunately for me every visit there was an issue except the first two visits where I dealt with Caleb. They treat you as though you’re trying to get a service without payment. Yesterday the lady came and said “stop the work! we can’t seat those crowns until we’re paid 1861.00, this is after giving me a document to sign stating there was no fee for the seating, however, I knew I had a balance of $533. Which I brought to her attention. She insisted that I paid the 1861.00 and I told her NO, you need to check your records. She deportment and delivery just got totally angered me. She came back, “I got good news your balance is 661. At that point I wanted out of there I paid. There was no apology from ANYONE. I will complete my dental work Elsewhere”

Caroline Farquharson

“I’ve been going to Covington Family dentist for some dental work, and it has truly been a great experience. I’ve always been afraid of going to the dentist, but choosing this office has made a huge difference for me. From the start, I never felt judged for not going sooner. Instead, the team has been understanding, supportive, and encouraged. I’ve never liked my smile, but now I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Every visit has been comfortable. I don’t feel anxious, attacked, or ashamed when I walk in. The staff makes me feel genuinely welcome, like I’m a part of their family. Two team members especially sent out to me Tiffany, who works in a financial department, has been incredibly helpful and Vanessa Perez, who assist with fittings and so much more has been amazing throughout the process. As much as I used to hate going to the dentist, I’m so glad I finally took that step. Thanks to them, I now have a healthy mouth and a smile I can feel good about.”

Fast Braces FAQs

Still Have Questions?

FASTBRACES® is a patented fixed orthodontic system that uses specialized brackets and wire to guide teeth into improved alignment. It is designed to make orthodontic tooth movement efficient for suitable patients.

FASTBRACES® uses a specialized triangular bracket-and-wire design. The manufacturer describes the system as designed to move the crown and root together rather than separating tooth movement into two stages.

Treatment time varies widely. The manufacturer reports that some suitable cases can be completed in a matter of months, while other patients need longer treatment. Your dentist can provide a more realistic estimate after evaluating your teeth and bite.

No. Candidacy depends on your dental health, gum health, tooth position, bite, jaw relationships, and treatment goals. Some complex orthodontic problems may require another treatment method or specialist care.

Any braces can cause temporary pressure or soreness as teeth move. The FASTBRACES® system is designed to use its own bracket-and-wire mechanics, but individual comfort varies and treatment should not be described as pain-free.

Yes, retention is an important part of orthodontic treatment. After active tooth movement is complete, your dentist will recommend a retainer plan to help maintain the new tooth positions.
