Since it works so quickly does that mean it is harsh or unsafe?

No. In fact, what makes Insignia work so quickly is the customization built into each bracket, the precise bracket placement mechanism and personalized wires. Because your plan is built for you and you alone, it employs far gentler, more biologically sensible forces than conventional braces.
