Fastbraces® in Cincinnati, OH

Straighten Your Teeth in Less Time with Modern Orthodontics
━━
Many adults and teens want straighter teeth — but don’t want years of orthodontic treatment.
Fastbraces® is a modern orthodontic system designed to move teeth more efficiently, often in a shorter timeframe than traditional braces.
At our Cincinnati dental office, Dr. Omeltschenko provides Fastbraces® treatment for patients seeking cosmetic alignment improvements with predictable, structured care.
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth, here’s what you should know.
What Is Fastbraces®?
━━
Fastbraces® is a bracket-and-wire orthodontic system designed to move both the crown and the root of the tooth at the same time.
Traditional braces often move the crown first and then reposition the root. Fastbraces® technology uses a specially designed triangular bracket and a flexible wire to address alignment more efficiently from the beginning of treatment.
For appropriate cases, this can mean:
- Shorter treatment time
- Fewer adjustment visits
- Predictable cosmetic improvement
Treatment time varies, but many patients complete care in months rather than years.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fastbraces®?
━━
Fastbraces® is often ideal for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor bite irregularities
- Adults who want cosmetic improvement
- Teens seeking shorter treatment time
It may not be appropriate for severe skeletal or complex orthodontic cases. During your consultation, we evaluate your bite, jaw alignment, and overall dental health to determine whether Fastbraces® is the right option.
A Conservative Approach to Orthodontics
━━
At Total Dentistry, our goal is not simply to create straighter teeth. We evaluate how alignment affects your oral health, bite function, tooth wear, and long-term stability.
For some patients, orthodontic treatment is the most conservative way to improve a smile because it repositions natural teeth rather than covering them with restorations. For others, cosmetic bonding, veneers, or restorative treatment may be more appropriate.
Every recommendation is based on your individual goals, oral health, and long-term needs.
Why Patients Choose Fastbraces®
━━
Shorter Treatment Time
Many patients appreciate the possibility of achieving alignment more quickly than traditional orthodontic timelines.
Fixed Appliance Control
Because Fastbraces® are fixed (not removable), treatment does not depend on patient compliance the way some removable aligner systems do.
Cosmetic and Functional Improvement
Straighter teeth can improve:
- Smile symmetry
- Cleaning access
- Bite balance
- Long-term stability
Proper alignment also reduces uneven wear that may otherwise lead to future restorative needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
━━
Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, digital imaging, and bite analysis. We evaluate not only tooth alignment, but also jaw function, existing dental work, gum health, and long-term stability.
If Fastbraces® is appropriate for your situation, we will review the expected treatment timeline, discuss your responsibilities during treatment, and answer any questions before beginning care.
If you are a candidate:
- Once treatment is complete, a retainer is essential to maintain your results.
- Brackets are placed on the teeth.
- A specially designed wire is engaged to begin controlled movement.
- Periodic adjustments are scheduled to monitor progress.
- You may experience mild soreness for a few days after placement or adjustments, which is normal and temporary.
Fastbraces® vs. Other Cosmetic Options
━━
Orthodontic treatment is not the only way to improve smile alignment. In some cases, cosmetic bonding or veneers may achieve aesthetic improvements without moving teeth.
However, veneers do not correct bite issues — they change shape and appearance.
Orthodontics physically repositions teeth, which may:
- Improve function
- Reduce uneven wear
- Preserve long-term tooth structure
Each case is different. Our role is to recommend the most conservative, stable solution based on your goals and oral health.
Will I Need Additional Treatment After Fastbraces®?
━━
Sometimes.
If teeth are worn, chipped, or uneven after alignment, cosmetic refinements such as bonding or veneers may be discussed.
If grinding contributed to crowding or wear, a nightguard may be recommended to protect your new alignment.
The goal is not just straight teeth — but long-term stability.
How Long Do Results Last?
━━
Results can last a lifetime with proper retention.
Teeth naturally want to shift over time, which is why wearing your retainer as instructed is critical.
Routine dental visits allow us to monitor alignment and ensure your bite remains balanced.
Cost and Payment Options
━━━━━
Orthodontic treatment is an investment in both appearance and long-term oral health.
Before treatment begins, we’ll review anticipated costs, insurance benefits, financing options, and answer any questions you may have.
