Dentists who offer orthodontics may or may not be certified specialists in orthodontics.
High Speed BracesTM will often improve
cosmetic problems (from a patient's perspective, "how much better the
smile looks") in a shorter time frame than is typically taken with
traditional orthodontics. Conventional orthodontics may afford
some advantages in final finishing and bite correction. In many cases
High Speed Braces can yield results that rival those achieved with
conventional treatment methods. HSB is designed chiefly for
patients who find it difficult to tolerate braces for an extended period
of time, who have a deadline for treatment that is relatively short, or
who wish to avoid the extensive removal of enamel involved in most
veneer makeovers. Proper use of retainers is important
regardless of the style of orthodontics, and relapse is very likely when
patients do not wear the retainers on a nightly basis. Re-treatment
fees are in addition to the original cost of treatment, but a courtesy
may apply.
The links to other sites on this website may provide useful
information but we do not take any responsibility for the use of such

The referral services are for convenience only and it is the
responsibility of the patient to thoughly consider all treatment options
in consultation with a professional of his/her choice.
There are many ways to straighten teeth, and this is discussed in detail at other sites. HSB is a competitive alternative to porcelain makeovers,
Invisalign and traditional orthodontics but there are a number of
opinions on this matter. Some orthodontic situations are best treated at
an early age and some recommend an orthodontic evaluation by age 5 to
help reduce the need for more complex treatment later.
BOTTOM LINE: There is no universal standard for a "correct"
way to provide orthodontics and no two practitioners will provide the
exact treatment suggestions or results. No claim
of superiority over any other practitioner or technique is made. If you are interested in a consultation with a High Speed Braces or 3 Month Braces practitioner in your area visit www.HighSpeedBraces.org and click on the find a dentist section of the patient area.
