No. Though moving teeth too fast with traditional braces or Invisalign can cause significant damage, FastBraces works in a completely different way. Due to the use of a round wire, traditional orthodontic braces cannot torque the root of the tooth. Instead, they can only align the crown of the tooth until the dentist can transition to a square or rectangular wire. Typically, it takes a year to align crowns with traditional braces, and another year to shift the root of the tooth. However, FastBraces utilizes a square or rectangular wire right from the beginning. This, combined with heat-activated wire technology, allows teeth to move quicker and gentler without damage because the change is simply more efficient.
