FastBraces® at Pacific Dental Care
Traditional braces straighten teeth in two stages: first moving the crown and then the root. FastBraces® work differently, using a specialized bracket and wire design to move the crown and root at the same time. This can lead to quicker orthodontic results with fewer adjustments.
How FastBraces® Work
FastBraces® use a patented bracket shape combined with a flexible, high-tech wire that maintains its “memory.” As the wire gently returns to its ideal shape, it guides teeth into better alignment more efficiently than conventional systems.
- Unique Bracket Design Specially shaped brackets help move the crown and root together.
- Advanced “Memory” Wire Maintains gentle, consistent pressure for efficient tooth movement.
- Fewer Adjustment Visits Less frequent tightening may be needed compared with traditional braces.

FastBraces® FAQs
- How are FastBraces® different from traditional braces?
- FastBraces® differ from traditional braces in how they move each tooth. Traditional braces usually move the crown of the tooth first and the root later.

- How long does treatment with FastBraces® take?
- Treatment time with FastBraces® varies by case, but many patients finish sooner than they would with conventional braces. The length of treatment depends on how much the teeth need to move.
