Not long ago, the only way for your orthodontist to straighten your teeth was with traditional metal braces. Today, new innovations in cosmetic dentistry are making it easier to get the smile you deserve. Thomas J Munger III, DDS, in Anchorage, AK, offers Fastbraces® as an alternative to older technology. Whether you are interested in the regular style or another option, Dr. Munger explains the difference between the two types and which one is better for your needs.

What Are Fastbraces? 

Fastbraces are innovative braces that provide state-of-the-art performance over the traditional style. They are made with care in America and come in a few different types. If you do not mind metal brackets, the company’s original standard metal model is effective and the most budget-friendly. The high-performance system corrects crooked teeth from the start of treatment, turning months of use into days. 

An additional clear ceramic option provides a more appealing aesthetic. It offers the same advantages as Fastbraces Standard Metal™ with a tooth-colored wire for a more discreet look. The Fastbraces TURBO™ system is the fastest way to transform your smile. This model combines momentum and efficiency if speedy results are more important than price. 

Fastbraces also includes retainers, so you can stay within the system after your braces treatment. They are made of a durable material and are custom created to fit perfectly in the mouth. Unlike standard retainers, patients only need to wear their device for 15-20 minutes per day. 

Why Are They Better Than Traditional Braces? 

Traditional braces are a proven cosmetic dentistry technology and are known to be effective in straightening crooked and crowded teeth as well as jaw and bite problems. However, new systems like Fastbraces provide the same control dentists need to create your ideal smile while making the process faster and easier. Since they are also budget-friendly,  they are the preferred straightening method for patients and orthodontists alike. 

Many adults who want straighter teeth are apprehensive about braces because of the time involved. If you want the faster results that Fastbraces provide, Dr. Munger is certified and has extensive training in the technology.
