If you’re considering orthodontic treatment but would prefer an alternative to traditional metal braces, Quick Straight Teeth (QST) may be an option to discuss. QST uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires and is primarily designed to move selected front teeth. Treatment suitability and duration depend on your tooth position, bite and individual orthodontic needs.
At Radiant Smiles Dental Bundoora, we offer Quick Straight Teeth as one orthodontic option for selected tooth-alignment concerns.
Quick Straight Teeth is an orthodontic system designed primarily to move selected front teeth. It uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which may make the appliance less noticeable than conventional metal braces. Whether QST is appropriate depends on the type and extent of tooth movement required and the way your teeth and bite fit together.
Treatment begins with a dental and orthodontic assessment to determine whether QST may be suitable for the type of tooth movement required. Some alignment or bite concerns may require a different orthodontic approach. If you decide to proceed, photographs, impressions or digital records and other measurements may be taken to assist with treatment planning. Your dentist will explain the proposed treatment, limitations and expected timeframe before the braces are fitted.
Quick Straight Teeth is designed for selected orthodontic concerns and may not be appropriate where more extensive tooth or bite correction is required. As with other orthodontic treatment, possible issues can include temporary discomfort, irritation from brackets or wires, difficulty cleaning around the appliance, changes to the gums or tooth surfaces, and movement of teeth after treatment if retainers are not worn as advised.
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bite and explain the expected tooth movements, limitations, treatment alternatives and relevant risks before you decide whether to proceed.
Treatment time varies depending on the amount and type of tooth movement required, how the teeth respond during treatment and whether QST is appropriate for the intended correction. After assessing your teeth and bite, your dentist can provide an estimated treatment timeframe for your individual case.
Yes. Review appointments are required during orthodontic treatment so your dentist can monitor tooth movement, the braces and your oral health. The timing of appointments will be advised according to your treatment plan and progress.
Some patients experience pressure, tenderness or discomfort after braces are fitted or adjusted as the teeth begin to move. The amount and duration vary between patients. Your dentist can provide advice if discomfort is persistent, worsening or causing concern.
The cost of QST varies according to the treatment required and individual orthodontic needs. Following an assessment and treatment plan, our team can explain the expected fees and what is included.
Before starting QST, your dentist will assess your teeth and gums. Concerns such as active decay or gum disease may need to be managed before orthodontic treatment begins. Any recommended dental treatment will depend on your individual oral health.
QST uses clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which can make the braces less noticeable than conventional metal braces. They are still visible at close range, and how noticeable they appear varies between patients.
