A deep dive to help you understand your personal dental journey.
Cfast is a simple, gentle, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that corrects alignment issues with the top and bottom front six teeth, and can level and round out the arches, thus satisfying the needs of the vast majority of adult patients who seek orthodontic treatment due to crowding and overlapping of the front teeth which takes place over time.
Cfast uses clear orthodontic brackets and tooth-coloured nickel-titanium wires. The treatment works much like that using clear aligners, but in shorter time frames.
The nickel-titanium wires put gentle pressure on the brackets to level and align the teeth with close to minimal discomfort to the patient. The gingiva follows this movement to achieve an aesthetic outcome.
Cfast is a fast, effective, and affordable treatment when adults are seeking to correct their smiles. Because we do not claim to address major orthodontic issues, Cfast can be done very quickly, making it potentially more affordable than all other orthodontic options. We also frequently use it before cosmetic work to get the teeth into better positions thereby making procedures like veneers less invasive or avoiding the need for veneers altogether.
Cfast takes less time than conventional orthodontics because it focuses only on the “social six”, the front teeth that most influence the smile. The process is further enhanced with the use of special nickel-titanium wires, which exert gentle pressure to force movement in the teeth.
With clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, Cfast is barely noticeable – and worn for only a fraction of the time compared to traditional braces.
Standard orthodontic mechanics are still involved with CFast, but because it’s just the front teeth, the force required is minimal. The nickel-titanium wires exert mild pressure to force the teeth to move, and this is done without the need for severe tightening which can cause the discomfort noted in conventional orthodontic treatments.
Fast – You will have straight teeth in about six months
Discreet – the wires and brackets are almost invisible
Affordable – the short treatment time dramatically cuts the cost.
