A New Era in Orthodontic Treatment: Beyond Traditional Braces
As people grow older, they often hesitate to pursue traditional orthodontic treatments, perhaps due to the perceived inconvenience or the aesthetic of metal braces. However, the rise of orthodontic alternatives has opened up new possibilities for individuals seeking a straighter smile without the drawbacks associated with conventional methods.
With these advancements, achieving a more aligned smile is now a more accessible and appealing choice for people at any stage of life.
Fastbraces
Fastbraces® stands apart from traditional braces by significantly reducing treatment time. Unlike the two-phase process of conventional braces, these simultaneously align the crown and root from the start, utilizing triangular brackets and a square wire. Many people can achieve results with this system in as little as 100 days. Though treatment duration varies on the amount of movement needed, it’s a considerable improvement over the 2 to 3 year timeline required for traditional braces. Fastbraces offer a convenient and quick solution for those seeking to improve their smile without the extended time commitment of conventional braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners crafted from smooth, medical-grade thermoplastic. These aligners are virtually invisible, allowing patients to straighten their teeth discreetly. One of the most appealing aspects of Invisalign is its convenience. Unlike traditional braces, fixed to the teeth, Invisalign aligners are removable. This flexibility allows patients to easily eat, brush, and floss without limitation. Additionally, the elimination of metal brackets and wires significantly lessens the discomfort and irritation that typically come with traditional braces. Invisalign can also speed up treatment, with many people seeing results in 12 to 18 months.
The Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment Alternatives
Orthodontic treatment has traditionally been synonymous with metal braces, but the landscape is changing. Today, innovative methods like Fastbraces® and Invisalign® offer effective alternatives, catering to the unique needs of our patients.
- Accelerated treatment time: One of the most significant advantages of these treatments is their ability to drastically reduce the treatment time. While traditional braces can take up to two years or more, these solutions can deliver noticeable results in just a few months. In many cases, the entire process can be completed within a year.
- Cost-effective: The shorter treatment duration of orthodontic alternatives can often translate to a lower price. Traditional braces take longer and require frequent visits for adjustments. These alternatives offer a quicker treatment timeline and eliminate the costs of additional visits.
Invisalign and FastBraces each offer unique advantages over traditional braces, and both excel in different areas. While both treatments present compelling alternatives to conventional braces, they cater to various needs and preferences.
Invisalign vs. Fastbraces: Deciding Which Treatment Is Right for You
Both Invisalign® and Fastbraces® present efficient choices, each with distinct advantages and drawbacks. When determining which option is best for you, the decision ultimately comes down to convenience, care, and cost. Invisalign’s removable nature offers convenience, but the trays are more likely to be lost. While Invisalign offers a discreet treatment option, Fastbraces provides a faster treatment timeline. Additionally, Invisalign relies on strict compliance. Patients need to progress through a series of aligners, changing them at regular intervals. In contrast, Fastbraces are affixed to the teeth.
Caring for your teeth is much easier with Invisalign since all you need to do is remove the aligners to brush and floss. On the other hand, Fastbraces require special care, just like traditional braces. They have wires and brackets that make cleaning your teeth a bit harder. You also have to be careful with what you eat. This treatment requires a stricter diet free of hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can break or damage the braces.
Finally, while both are cost-effective solutions, FastBraces may cost less than clear aligners like Invisalign. For patients looking for a more budget-friendly option, FastBraces might be the better choice.
