As with any orthodontic procedure there can be some discomfort for a few days after appliance is fitted. However, the force used by Cfast braces is very light and usually after the first 7-10 days there should be little to no pain at all. During treatment you may find that the teeth become a little mobile and sensitive to pressure. This is quite normal and will fully resolve once the braces are removed.

We will use 3D computer imaging, as well as models, to accurately show you what your teeth should look like following the straightening procedure.

Q: Will I have problems cleaning my teeth?

It can be a little more challenging to clean your teeth if you are wearing a brace, but good oral hygiene is very important during treatment. Your dentist or dental hygienist will show you how to best look after your teeth as well as suggest the right products to use.

Q: Will I be restricted in what I can eat?

If you have opted for a fixed brace then it is advisable to avoid hard foods such as nuts, popcorn, crusty bread or any such foods that may accidentally dislodge the brackets. It is also best to stay away from heavily coloured foods which may on occasion stain the brace. However if this does happen your dentist will be able to easily restore the cosmetic appearance.

Q: Is Cfast suitable for everyone?

No, we only select cases where we can achieve a significant improvement in appearance, in a reasonable time frame. There may also be underlying health conditions or problems with some of your existing teeth which may mean that treatment either cannot be performed or needs to be modified. As every patient case is different, your dentist will discuss with you in detail your particular situation to assess whether Cfast is suitable.
