Welcome to Comfort Dental Excellence in Spring, Texas, where innovative dental solutions meet expert care. For those seeking a faster, less invasive alternative to traditional braces, Dr. Hamilton Calder introduces Fastbraces®. As a distinguished Senior Fastbraces Master Affiliate, Dr. Calder brings a wealth of expertise to deliver transformative smiles with this cutting-edge technology. Unlike conventional methods that move the crown and root of a tooth in separate stages, Fastbraces utilizes unique triangular brackets and a specialized square wire to move both simultaneously. This innovative design allows for more efficient force distribution and continuous, gentle pressure on the teeth from the outset of treatment. As a result, many patients experience dramatically reduced treatment times, often seeing results in as little as 3 to 12 months, and in some cases, even quicker. Beyond speed, Fastbraces can also lead to fewer office visits, potentially less discomfort, and may even reduce the need for tooth extractions in certain cases, making it an appealing option for individuals seeking a quicker path to a straighter smile. Connect with our team today to explore your Fastbraces® options.
Suitable for both children and adults, Fastbraces® offers a versatile solution to various orthodontic challenges, including crooked or crowded teeth, without the extended treatment times of traditional braces. During your consultation at Comfort Dental Excellence, our experienced dentists will evaluate your unique dental profile to determine if Fastbraces® is the ideal choice for your orthodontic needs.
The essence of Fastbraces® lies in its efficiency. Traditional braces typically require about two years to achieve desired results, focusing on crown alignment in the first year and root adjustment in the latter. Fastbraces® technology, however, enables movement of tooth roots towards their final position from the beginning, often completing treatment within 3 to 12 months—and some patients observe changes in just a few weeks!
Fastbraces® technology is revolutionizing orthodontic treatment by offering a quicker, safer, and more affordable path to straight teeth. Unlike conventional braces that adjust teeth’s position in two lengthy stages, Fastbraces®’ patented triangular brackets and unique square wires target the root from treatment onset. This innovative approach allows for simultaneous crown and root alignment, significantly reducing treatment time and discomfort.

More comfortable than traditional braces. Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, which means they're more comfortable and effective than one-size-fits-all braces. Clear aligners are comfortable to wear and can be removed for eating and cleaning. They also require fewer office visits compared to traditional braces.
• What are clear aligners? • How do I prepare? • What can I expect? • How much will it cost? • How long will it take? • What are the results? • Do I need to see an orthodontist? • What are the benefits of clear aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to straighten teeth while going unnoticed. They offer an alternative to traditional braces, using a series of aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Made from medical-grade plastic, they are virtually invisible, providing a cosmetically appealing option for orthodontic treatment.
Preparation for clear aligners involves a consultation with your dentist to assess your dental health and determine if aligners are suitable for you. Your dentist will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and address any dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, before starting treatment.
During treatment, you'll receive new aligners every few weeks, each set designed to move your teeth slightly. You'll wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Regular check-ups with our team will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
The cost of clear aligners varies based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Our team will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options during your consultation.
The duration of clear aligner treatment depends on the severity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. Our team will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific needs and goals.
Clear aligners can effectively straighten teeth, correct minor bite issues, and close gaps, resulting in a healthier, more attractive smile. The results are typically permanent, provided you follow your post-treatment instructions. Many patients report improved confidence and oral health following their treatment.
While orthodontists specialize in straightening teeth and correcting bite issues, many general dentists are certified to provide orthodontic treatment. Our dentist has undergone additional training to ensure they can effectively plan and monitor your treatment. For most mild to moderate cases, a certified general dentist can offer the same high-quality care and results as an orthodontist.
Clear aligners offer numerous benefits, including being nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable for eating and cleaning. Plus, properly aligned teeth also reduce your risk for tooth decay and gum disease as well as boost your self-confidence. When compared to traditional braces, they provide a more aesthetically pleasing option. Additionally, clear aligners typically require fewer dental visits and allow for better oral hygiene maintenance during treatment. • Clear aligners are rarely noticed by others • You can eat what you want during treatment • The trays are smooth and comfortable to wear • You don’t have to worry about poking wires or lip-snagging brackets • The trays can be removed whenever you want • Treatment is typically faster than traditional braces
While clear aligners and braces both straighten teeth, they each do so in very different ways and with different results. Knowing whether clear aligners or braces are a better option for you largely depends on the health of your teeth, your commitment to treatment, your timeline and budget, and the advice given to you from a dental expert. If your teeth alignment issues are minimal — meaning you simply have crooked teeth — clear aligners are likely the best option for you. Crooked teeth can be straightened up to 50% faster with clear aligners than with traditional braces.
