HELP STRAIGHTEN YOUR SMILE WITH QUICK STRAIGHT TEETH What is QuickStraightTeeth™ Traditional metal braces usually takes 18-24months to complete. QuickStraightTeeth™ has revolutionised the way teeth are being straightened by providing a quicker short term orthodontic option with treatment periods usually between 6 to 12 months. At the same time Quick Straight Teeth provides a more cost-effective and non- noticeable option for people requiring straight teeth by using tooth coloured brackets and clear aligners. How does QuickStraightTeeth Work? To achieve straight teeth, QuickStraightTeeth™ uses either clear fixed braces or removable aligners to adjust and focus on the front 6-8 teeth in your mouth. By utilising the front teeth in your mouth, it reduces the pressure applied to your mouth and can eliminate some of the uncomfortable pain endured with traditional braces. What are the different types of QuickStraightTeeth™ treatments? QuickStraightTeeth™ treatments are available in Q Fixed Braces and Q Removable Braces. Q Fixed Braces: Similar to traditional braces, Q Fixed Braces are designed out of high-quality 3M material making them very durable. The tooth-coloured brackets allow it to almost become invisible on the front teeth. Since QST corrects 6-8 front teeth, the force on the teeth are minimal and there is a noticeable difference in pain levels compared to traditional braces. Q Removable Braces: Designed like a standard clear retainer, the Q Removable Braces is a clear straightening system that offers an option for patients wanting straight teeth invisibly without having to go through the process of having braces installed onto their front teeth. Benefits of QuickStraightTeeth™ • Quicker time of treatment – Unlike traditional metal braces, the treatment period can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months making this a quick process. • Appearance – The brackets are tooth-coloured and are almost invisible in your mouth. • Cost effective – Since there is less laboratory work required and faster treatment times, it is more cost effective compared to other traditional options. • Comfort – QST braces have been designed to ensure maximum comfort for patients. Only targeting the front 6-8 teeth, there is a noticeable difference in pressure applied and lower pain levels. QuickStraightTeeth™ FAQs Can anyone have QuickStraightTeeth™ treatment?
