University research showed the lowest friction with FASTBRACES® technology patented braces system. Fastbraces® don’t need years to achieve results. Most people will wear Fastbraces® for a year or less. And some will see the results they desire within six to seven months. Here are some of the benefits of Fastbraces®
Teeth Move Easily
FASTBRACES® brackets have significantly the lowest mean frictional forces by 87% when compared to all other orthodontic brackets in the study.

It can be confirmed that the non-conventional bracket designs investigated offer increased maneuverability along the guiding arch, a clear-cut reduction in sliding friction.

Teeth Move Smoothly
Research has shown lower forces and greater pain reduction with the bracket system of FASTBRACES® technology.
The force needed to overtake initial resistance to gliding (static friction) with standard brackets (0.018) is more than ten times greater than when using low friction brackets.

[This] indicates greater pain reduction with FASTBRACES® Technology, with fitting front and back teeth together being at a statistically significant level.

Teeth Are Safe
Research has shown that the longer patients wear braces, the more root resorption (tooth root shortening) they have (American Journal of Orthodontics). University research in the same journal showed that FASTBRACES® Technology braces presented even less root resorption than the traditional systems tested. This could be due to the fact that these high-performance bracket systems move the roots of teeth towards their final positions from the onset of treatment with low forces in one stage in weeks to months instead of multiple stages in a matter of years and therefore patients don’t stay in braces a long time.
