Fastbraces Glasgow, Glasgow West End

Fastbraces® – fast results in a safe way. Ideal for adults, Ideal for Children.

The cutting edge Fastbraces® technology really is different by design! This innovative treatment has been extensively developed over the last two decades and is now regularly used worldwide. Fastbraces works in the same way as a conventional brace but with highly developed and patented technology it helps to significantly cut the length of your treatment. Despite this, the system is very comfortable and highly safe. The average treatment time with traditional orthodontics is around 2-3 years. In the first year of treatment the focus is on moving the crown or visible part of the tooth while in the subsequent years the root is repositioned so that it is in line with the crown below. Fastbraces works more effectively by moving both the crown and root at the same time. This is done with revolutionary triangular shaped brackets which encourage root movement right from the start of treatment. The triangular shape of the brackets is critical to the success of the system. Due to the triangular shape more space can be left between brackets – increasing the flexibility of the wire. Fastbraces® are suitable for use in children or adults and can be used to successfully treat mild to more complex issues including crooked teeth and issues with bite. Tooth removal is rarely required and there is often a reduced need to wear a retainer following treatment.

Do I need to wear a retainer?

It is always advised that you wear a retainer following any orthodontic treatment. You will be supplied with a custom-made retainer which you will need to wear for just a short period of time each day- this could be as little as 15 to 20 minutes. We will advise you according to your individual requirements.
