FASHION HEALTH & BEAUTY Discover the benefits of Fastbraces T he biggest question for a child or adult who may need braces would probably be ‘how quickly can I get them off?’ There are no miracle shortcuts in orthodontics, but Fastbraces® Technology is different by design. Fastbraces® makes it possible to measure treatment time in months instead of years. Some patients see results in just a few weeks! The old style braces are generally square in shape and usually move the crown of the tooth in the first year, and the root of the tooth in the second year, which requires two years of treatment time. The patented triangular ® bracket in the Fastbraces® Technology gently allows for movement of the crown and the root of the teeth at the same time without any extra risk for the patient and with minimal discomfort. It’s fast, safe, easy and affordable! Ask today how we can straighten your teeth in months instead of years. For more information call (01983) 716101 to schedule a free consultation.
