Accelerated orthodontics is used to move teeth faster than traditional braces. In most cases where orthodontics is the only solution, accelerated orthodontic treatments can be applied, producing results much faster than normal. While conventional braces can take years to straighten your teeth, accelerated orthodontic treatments can take only 3 to 8 months to enhance your smile. Accelerated orthodontics works best with straightening, spacing, or repositioning of the front teeth.
Before beginning treatment, some dental x-rays, photographs, impressions, and evaluations must be taken and studied. Once the evaluations are completed, the next steps are determined by the results of the prior procedures.

Children's Orthodontics Reviewal
Children’s Braces
According to the American Association of Orthodontists children should have their first exam with an orthodontist by the age of seven. Scheduling an exam at this age will provide the patient with preventive measures and education about the best practices for caring for their dental and oral health.
Teenage years are ideal for orthodontic treatments because they are still growing can prevent future problems and will achieve the optimum results. Orthodontic treatments are not for aesthetic improvement only, but can possibly help the patient with preventive measures, such as allowing them to floss and brush their teeth with greater precision.

Las Vegas Orthodontist Answers Question About "Getting Braces"
Patient: "I'm 15 years old and im getting braces on soon..I have very crowded teeth and a large overbite. Im worried that i might need over things besides braces. Do you think i would need other appliances beside braces? I was also wondering how do they put braces on and what are the spacers for. I forgot to ask my ortho thses questions because i was nervous?"
Kate T. Nguyen, DDS, MS: " That's great to hear that you're getting improving your smile and the health of your teeth with braces. As for your question regarding appliances, each individual is different and it depends on your "bite" if you need appliances or not. Your orthodontist will be the best person to assess and answer that question for you. Also for spacers, they are used to make space between the teeth to fit the braces made for the back teeth, which are also called bands. And how braces are put on is a simple process of gluing the braces onto the teeth with a glue made specifically for teeth. Generally, the day you get the braces on is really easy, so don't worry too much about it. Let me know if you have any other questions!"
