The Biology Of Straightening Teeth

In orthodontics, teeth move through a process called bone remodeling. When steady force is applied to the teeth, bone cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts mobilize around the root of the tooth. This cellular response causes changes in the bone surrounding the tooth, enabling orthodontic appliances to guide the tooth into its ideal position.

How Does AcceleDent Make A Difference?

AcceleDent uses SoftPulse Technology, tiny vibrations that help your bones and teeth move more quickly. AcceleDent is a mouthpiece that fits comfortably around your existing orthodontic appliance and does its work in 20 minutes a day. Some studies have shown that AcceleDent can possibly cut treatment time in half! In addition to shortening treatment time, it’s been clinically proven to significantly reduce discomfort.
