How Does Accelerated Orthodontics Work?

Accelerated tooth movement uses various techniques to speed up the process of tooth movement and promote faster bone remodeling. It can be an option for patients who want to shorten the duration of their orthodontic treatment.

This technique works with traditional braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic appliances. However, not all patients are candidates for accelerated orthodontics, and it should only be performed by a trained and experienced orthodontist like Dr. Grussmark.

Benefits of Accelerated Orthodontics

Accelerating tooth movement can offer several benefits for patients who are looking to straighten their teeth and improve their smile. Here are some potential benefits of accelerated orthodontics:

  • Shorter Treatment Time: Accelerated orthodontics can shorten the duration of treatment, which means patients can achieve their desired results faster and with fewer appointments.
  • Reduced Discomfort: Because accelerated orthodontics promotes faster tooth movement, patients may experience less discomfort during treatment.
  • Better Oral Hygiene: Shorter treatment times can also lead to better oral hygiene, as patients may find it easier to maintain good dental hygiene during a shorter treatment period.
  • Improved Aesthetics: By straightening teeth faster, accelerated orthodontics can improve the overall appearance of a patient’s smile more quickly.
  • Fewer Appointments: With accelerated orthodontics, patients typically require fewer appointments to correct occlusal abnormalities and reverse local bone resorption with their orthodontist, which can be more convenient for those with busy schedules.

Types of Accelerated Orthodontic Treatments

There are several types of accelerated orthodontic treatments available to orthodontic patients, including:

  • Micro-Osteoperforation (MOP) involves making small holes in the bone surrounding the teeth to stimulate bone remodeling and accelerate tooth movement.
    Propel Orthodontics uses a small handheld device to make micro-incisions in the gum tissue surrounding the teeth to speed up the orthodontic process.
  • AcceleDent uses gentle vibrations to stimulate the bone and accelerate tooth movement. The patient wears the device 20 minutes per day during orthodontic treatment.
  • High-frequency vibration (HFV) uses high-frequency vibrations to the teeth and surrounding bone, promoting faster tooth movement.
  • Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses low-level laser therapy to stimulate the bone and promote faster tooth movement.
