The Benefits of Accelerated Orthodontics

What if we say that there is a shortcut for Orthodontic Treatment? A time machine in your mouth that would cut a year of treatment into six months so you get your dream smile twice as fast. 

Let us introduce you to a revolutionary technology called Accelerated Orthodontics.

How Does Accelerated Orthodontics Work?

Accelerated orthodontics is a treatment method that aims to expedite the movement of teeth and reduce the overall treatment time. It employs various techniques and technologies that stimulate bone remodeling, allowing the teeth to shift more quickly. These techniques can include high-frequency vibration devices ( AcceleDent®, Propel® Orthodontics) or surgical procedures (corticotomy-assisted orthodontics and Wilckodontics). Accelerated orthodontics encourages faster tooth movement by applying controlled forces to the teeth and supporting structures, reducing treatment time.

Benefits of Accelerated Orthodontics

Reduced treatment time

One of the primary advantages of accelerated orthodontics is the significant reduction in treatment duration compared to traditional orthodontic methods. While conventional braces or aligners can take several years to achieve the desired results, accelerated orthodontics can expedite the process by up to 50%.

Enhanced patient comfort

Patients often experience discomfort and soreness due to the extended treatment duration with traditional orthodontics. By shortening the treatment time, accelerated orthodontics minimizes the overall pain associated with wearing braces or aligners, leading to a more pleasant experience for the patient.

Minimized risk of tooth decay and gum disease: Prolonged orthodontic treatment can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease due to the difficulty of maintaining oral hygiene. Accelerated orthodontics reduces this risk by shortening the treatment duration and allowing patients to maintain better oral hygiene practices.

Accelerated Orthodontics Techniques

High-frequency vibration devices

These devices generate micro-vibrations that help accelerate tooth movement and bone remodeling, leading to faster orthodontic treatment.

AcceleDent®

AcceleDent® is a hands-free device that utilizes pulsatile forces to expedite tooth movement. It is used with braces or aligners and has shown promising results in reducing treatment time.

Propel® Orthodontics 

Propel® uses a patented technology that creates micro-osteoperforations in the bone surrounding the teeth. These perforations stimulate the bone remodeling process, facilitating accelerated tooth movement.

Corticotomy-assisted orthodontics

This technique involves making small incisions in the gums and bone, allowing for faster tooth movement. The minimally invasive procedure can be combined with traditional braces or aligners.

Wilckodontics

Wilckodontics involves a combination of orthodontic treatment and minor periodontal surgery. It stimulates bone regeneration and accelerates tooth movement, resulting in shorter treatment times.

Considerations and Eligibility for Accelerated Orthodontics

Before opting for accelerated orthodontics, evaluating the patient’s oral health and determining their candidacy for the treatment is essential. Factors such as the severity of the orthodontic issue, overall dental health, and the patient’s commitment to follow-up care should be considered. Additionally, it is crucial to discuss the potential risks and complications associated with accelerated orthodontics and the financial aspects involved.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Following accelerated orthodontic treatment, it is essential to maintain the results achieved. Patients should wear retainers as their orthodontist prescribes to prevent teeth from returning to their original positions. Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash, should be maintained to ensure optimal dental health. Regular dental check-ups and follow-ups are also crucial to monitor the stability of the results and address any potential issues promptly.
