Fastbraces Vista, CA
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 Imagine Dental Group & Implant Center in Vista 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 Imagine Dental Group & Implant Center at (760) 407-6719 to learn more.
The Fastbraces Process
The process begins just like any other orthodontic treatment, with an initial consultation and X-rays. During that first appointment, the dental professional will discuss the estimated cost and treatment time with the patient or the patient's parent or guardian. They will then schedule the second appointment, during which the doctor will install the braces. Installation typically takes 30 minutes. At the end of that appointment, the doctor will likely want to schedule two to three follow-up visits.
During the monthly follow-up appointments, the doctor will check to see how the teeth are progressing. Also, the dentist will want to make sure the patient is keeping up with recommended oral hygiene procedures. During the second to last appointment, when the teeth are in the desired position, the dentist will "place" the braces. This stabilizes the teeth for about a month and prepares them for the removal of the brackets. During the final appointment, the dentist will remove the wire and the brackets to reveal a straight, beautiful smile.

Benefits of Fastbraces
In addition to being associated with shorter treatment times, Fastbraces seldom require extractions. Although extractions are often prescribed as a preliminary step before braces, they are not always needed to correct crowding. With this technology, most patients will not need extractions because the system makes room for all natural teeth.
Instead of focusing only on cosmetic effects, Fastbraces® practitioners prioritize the restoration of a patient's natural tooth alignment. They do this by working to restore teeth to the positions where they would have naturally erupted if they had not been crooked. Working on the basis of the patient's natural jaw structure, instead of arbitrary ideas of what constitutes an ideal smile, can yield a more natural-looking result compared with that of traditional braces.

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.
