Yes — if you’re looking to straighten your teeth but want to avoid a long treatment timeline, there are several faster orthodontic options available today. While traditional braces are still the gold standard for complex cases, many Canadian patients now qualify for shorter, more discreet alternatives.
Here’s a look at your options.
📈 1. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®)
- Ideal for mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Can show results in 6 to 12 months for simple cases
- Removable and nearly invisible
⏱ 2. “Fast Braces” or Accelerated Orthodontics
- Systems like Six Month Smiles or Fastbraces® use low-force mechanics to move teeth more quickly
- Typically focus on cosmetic alignment (front teeth only)
- Results in 4 to 9 months, depending on the case
🏋️ 3. Limited Treatment Plans
- Customized to fix only specific teeth or cosmetic concerns
- Quicker than full treatment (usually under 12 months)
- Often combined with retainers or aligners for long-term stability
⚠️ Who Qualifies for Faster Options?
- Patients with mild spacing, crowding, or alignment issues
- Adults who had braces before and experienced relapse
- Teens with no major bite or jaw concerns
Your orthodontist will assess your case and let you know if a shorter option is suitable.
