Braces Q & A

What are the benefits of traditional braces?

Dentists have been using traditional braces to fix misalignment for many years. Braces offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Improve your smile
  • Straighten teeth in complex cases
  • Correct dental issues
  • Give the dentist more control over the movement of your teeth
  • Are less expensive than clear aligners
  • Are fun for kids decorating their teeth with colored brackets

Braces today are also a lot different than they were years ago. The brackets are smaller and less noticeable, and the treatment time is significantly reduced due to the use of titanium wires.

Children, teens, and adults can wear braces.

What types of conditions can braces fix?

Braces can fix:

  • Misaligned or crooked teeth
  • Overcrowding or gapped teeth
  • Overbite or underbite
  • Bad bite

What is FASTBRACES® Technology and what are its benefits?

FASTBRACES® is for teenagers and adult patients who are looking to straighten their teeth comfortably but don’t want to wait years for quality results or cut corners for speed.

This high-quality affordable technology helps straighten teeth really fast, even in about 100 days, without compromising treatment because what’s right for a beautiful smile (the way the teeth look) comes with what’s right for a beautiful bite (the way teeth touch)! FASTBRACES® is used in countries all over the world and is available in discreet tooth-colored esthetic clear or metal braces that are comfortable and deliver beautiful results fast and safely.

That’s because the technology behind the FASTBRACES® patented methods and treatment utilizes uniquely designed brackets to work with only one high-tech nickel titanium wire from start to finish that helps restore the morphology of healthy bone around the crooked teeth gently and easily as they become straight.

That’s why the key benefit to using FASTBRACES® is that, for many patients, treatment is completed even in about 100 days.

What are the benefits of FASTBRACES®?

  • Fast treatment
  • Safe and comfortable
  • Affordable

What is SureSmile®?

SureSmile® Clear Aligners are designed to ensure they fit comfortably, promote better oral hygiene and deliver the exact tooth movements needed to achieve your ideal smile.

How do SureSmile Aligners work?

SureSmile® is an orthodontic treatment that works to gradually straighten teeth through the wearing of a series of clear, custom-fit, removable aligners. There are no brackets or wires like traditional metal braces.

Are SureSmile Aligners for me?

SureSmile® Aligners are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to braces, especially for minor tooth movements that improve your smile. Specifically, they are for use with teens and adults, from simple to complex cases such as: crowded teeth, spaces and over/underbites. A SureSmile dental professional can assess your needs and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
