What Are Fastbraces?
Fastbraces use a unique triangular bracket and a single-wire system to move the crown and root of a tooth at the same time. That is different from traditional braces, which first move the crown and then the root in a second phase. By moving both simultaneously, Fastbraces can straighten teeth in months rather than years. The system was developed to be safe and effective for most orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to more complex bite problems. If you are curious about the technology that makes this possible, our Technology page shares more details.

Fastbraces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?
Both Fastbraces and Invisalign can give you a straighter smile, but they work differently. The table below compares the key differences to help you decide.
Both options are available in our office. If you are interested in the clear aligner route, visit our Invisalign page. We can help you choose the right approach during a no-pressure consultation.
What to Expect with Fastbraces at Our Cedar Rapids Office
Your journey starts with a consultation. Dr. Yossi or Dr. Kristyn Watson will examine your teeth, take digital impressions with our iTero scanner, and discuss your goals. If Fastbraces are a good fit, we will explain the timeline and cost upfront.
Fitting appointment. The brackets are bonded to your teeth and the wire is placed. The appointment usually takes about one to two hours.
Active treatment. You will return every 6 to 8 weeks for quick adjustments. The wire actively moves both the crown and root, which is what makes the process faster.
Completion. Once your teeth are straight, we will remove the braces and discuss retention options to keep your smile in place.
Throughout treatment, you will see the same friendly team you trust for your regular cleanings. There is no separate orthodontic office, no intimidating environment. Request your Fastbraces consultation now.
