How do Fastbraces work?

Using contemporary wire technology they move both the crown and root of the teeth involved.

You could also consider ClearCorrect, which uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that move your teeth gradually into the correct position. These are removable and practically invisible as they fit so snugly, ensuring discretion during treatment.

We offer a number of different braces, each designed to be able to help you get the smile that you wished you had. Each type of brace may work slightly differently, but all use the most cutting edge technology to achieve the best results for you and your aims.

I’m extremely anxious about going to the dentist and it’s taken me years to even sit and have treatment. I had a great dentist in London so finding the right practice for me in Colchester was so important as I’m finally able to get through it. Hello Dental are brilliant! Everyone puts me at ease and I am always in control. They are kind, welcoming and take my phobia seriously. Thanks so much for taking care of me and enabling me to get the treatment I need!
