For a student, braces are not just a dental decision.
They affect school photos, football games, band concerts, prom, senior year, graduation pictures, and confidence walking through the halls at Broken Arrow High School.
That is why FASTBRACES® can be worth a serious look.
Quick Answer
FASTBRACES® is a fixed orthodontic system designed to move teeth efficiently using patented triangular brackets and a single wire approach. The company says some cases may be completed in a much shorter timeline than traditional braces, sometimes in months, depending on diagnosis and cooperation.
That does not mean every student is done in 90 days.
It means the system may be a better fit for students who want a faster, simpler alternative to traditional braces when their case qualifies.
Why Students Like FASTBRACES®
The biggest advantage is obvious: time.
Traditional braces can take a couple of school years. For a student who wants improvement before senior photos, prom, or graduation, that timeline matters.
FASTBRACES® is designed to begin moving the crown and root of the tooth earlier in the process, rather than treating those movements as separate phases. Its triangular bracket design is one of the main differences from conventional square brackets.
Why Parents Like It
Parents usually care about three things:
Will it work?
How long will it take?
Will my child actually cooperate?
That last one matters. Any orthodontic system can fail or drag out if a student misses appointments, breaks brackets, eats the wrong foods, or does not follow instructions.
FASTBRACES® may be faster, but it is not magic. The student still has a job to do.
Who It May Be Best For
FASTBRACES® may be a strong fit for BA students who:
- Want fixed braces instead of removable aligners
- May forget to wear clear trays consistently
- Want faster visible improvement
- Have mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Have a deadline like photos, prom, or graduation
It may not be ideal for every bite problem, complex jaw issue, or severe orthodontic case.
FASTBRACES® vs. Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are popular with teens because they are less noticeable.
But here is the honest drawback: they only work when worn.
If your student loses trays, forgets them at lunch, or will not wear them 20-plus hours a day, fixed braces may be the safer bet.
FASTBRACES® gives parents one major advantage: it stays on the teeth.
The Real “Game-Changer”
The game-changer is not just speed.
It is timing.
For a student, finishing treatment before a major life moment can matter. A faster option may mean fewer school-year appointments, less time in brackets, and more confidence during the years when appearance feels especially personal.
What We Tell Broken Arrow Families
FASTBRACES® is worth asking about if your student wants straighter teeth but does not want a long orthodontic timeline.
But the right first step is still an exam.
Dr. Drew Endicott and the team at Endicott Dental can evaluate your student’s teeth, bite, timeline, and goals, then explain whether FASTBRACES® is a smart option or whether another treatment would be more predictable.
