Accelerated Orthodontics

 

Acceledent®

The AcceleDent System is designed to reduce your treatment time by making your teeth move faster when you’re wearing a fixed orthodontic appliance.

A clinical trial at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio showed that Acceledent increased tooth movement in the alignment phase by 106%, and by 38-50% in the space closure phase.

AcceleDent is Easy

The AcceleDent System is light, comfortable, hands-free and can be used 20 minutes per day while you do your normal daily activities. You can use while you read, watch TV, listen to music or do school work.

 

Patient Benefits

  • Compatible with braces for both adults and teens
  • Lightweight for comfort and use during daily activities
  • Hands-free design allows you to do your daily activities during the 20-minute treatment

 

How does AcceleDent work?

The appliance, used daily for 20 minutes, applies patented technology to gently vibrate your teeth and surrounding bone. A controlled clinical trial proved that the vibrations speed up tooth movement by 38%-50%.

Why are microvibrations so important?

How fast your teeth move depends on how fast the bone surrounding your teeth changes.
Studies have shown that orthodontic force combined with microvibrations safely speed up tooth movement.

Is AcceleDent Safe?

AcceleDent has a good safety profile, as indicated by university studies in humans. AcceleDent is considered safe when used correctly a conventional fixed orthodontic appliance.

If it accelerates tooth movement, will it cause more discomfort?
No. AcceleDent doesn’t increase the level of discomfort that comes with orthodontic treatment.
