We are extremely excited to announce the arrival of Fastbraces at Progressive Dentistry. Fastbraces is an orthodontic system developed in the USA. As the name suggests, the technique is generally far quicker than conventional techniques.
 

What Is Fastbraces?

Fastbraces is a unique fixed dental brace that is fitted to the outside of the teeth. It is unlike any other dental brace system.
 

How Do Fastbraces Work?

The reason Fastbraces is so different is that the unique brackets and wires move the teeth and roots at the SAME time and from the very beginning of treatment. In typical cases, the teeth are moved first (in the first year) and then the roots of the teeth are moved (in the second year). The aim of Fastbraces is to straighten teeth quickly, in an easy and safe manner and provide a stable result.
 

How Quickly Can Teeth Be Straightened?

In simple cases, treatment can be in as little as 3 visits or 3 months. The more complex cases may require more time but usually HALF the time as a conventional brace.
 

Can I Have Fastbraces?

Yes, Fastbraces are suitable for adults and children.
 

Does Fastbraces Have An Invisible Brace Option?

Although not invisible, there is a fantastic ceramic brace which is very discreet. This has just been released and provides an aesthetic solution for those who do not wish to wear metal brackets.
 

Are Fastbraces Stable?

Yes fastbraces are very stable. This has been proved with over 20 years of cases and studies. In fact, Fastbraces are the only company that provide a WORLDWIDE LIFE TIME SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. Yes, this is correct. A life time guarantee! This means that if you need braces again for whatever reason, you will NOT have to pay again for Fastbraces in your lifetime.
 

When Can I Start?

Invisalign Comprehensive to Close Spaces and Improve the Bite

Can Invisalign really close gaps between the teeth?

One of the most common comments we encounter when discussing Invisalign with our patients is 'can Invisalign really close large gaps between my teeth?'. The reason for this is that most dentists will say that only fixed braces have enough 'force' to close spaces with any certainty. However, with careful planning and using the latest technology available, we can predictably close gaps and improve the bite using Invisalign.

Our patient was told it was impossible but we managed to straighten her teeth

Case of the Month October

We love a challenge especially when it concerns teeth straightening and our case of the month treated in October was a great one. Our lovely patient came to us to straighten her front teeth only after years of being down about her smile. She was told by several dentists that it simply was not possible without going through a long drawn out full mouth orthodontic plan. We were happy to take on the challenge head on and after some careful planning, Dr Nissit Patel was able to provide a great result in a few months using the Social 6 lingual brace.

Straightening a twisted front tooth within a few weeks

Case of the Month April 2025

Our case of the month for April 2025 is a familiar one where there was some relapse after past braces and a front tooth had started to twist over the adjacent tooth. In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor issue but if you have already had braces and a front tooth starts to rotate, this is incredibly frustrating!

Now the good news is that we can correct this in a short space of time, with a discreet solution, with minimum fuss and at an affordable fee. The answer lies in the Social 6 lingual brace which is placed on the inside of the teeth making it the only truly invisible brace system. Please take a look at the before and after photos so see how it works.
