The AcceleDent System is an FDA cleared device that uses SoftPulse technology to accelerate the movement of your teeth. AcceleDent is an adjunctive therapy that is combined with your regular orthodontic treatment, including metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign. It is designed to decrease the time you are in braces by increasing the rate of tooth movement.
The key to the success of AcceleDent is its patented SoftPulse Technology which facilities the tooth movement process by applying consistent gentle pressure to the teeth via micropulses. This gentle vibration helps increase the cellular activity and speeds the rate in which your teeth can move. Simple and easy-to-use, the AcceleDent System is clinically shown to speed up tooth movement while reducing orthodontic discomfort.
AcceleDent is a light, portable, removable, and hands-free device. It consists of a mouthpiece that can be fitted around your braces or aligners and can be used 20 minutes per day while engaging in a variety of routine activities including browsing the internet, reading, watching television, listening to music, and doing schoolwork. The mouthpiece gently vibrates using AcceleDent’s patented SoftPulse technology, which exerts even less force than an electric toothbrush and over 200 times less force than regular chewing.
Patient Benefits
- Accelerated tooth movement
without compromised aesthetics.
- Compatible with all types of
braces and Invisalign for both adults and teens.
- Lightweight for comfort and use during daily activities.
- Hands-free design allows you to go about your daily activities during the 20-minute treatment.
In addition to faster, more comfortable treatment, AcceleDent can lead to many other benefits. Accelerated treatment often requires less orthodontic office visits. Accelerating the orthodontic treatment process can also reduce oral health issues by decreasing the risk of white spots, cavities, and gum inflammation.
AcceleDent works for a variety of orthodontic cases and with nearly every orthodontic appliance. It is safe for patients of all ages, from children to adults. It is available by prescription only so you will need to talk with Dr. Wazio to determine if you are a good candidate.
Why Our Patients Choose AcceleDent
- Patients typically choose AcceleDent because it speeds up treatment times. Using AcceleDent reduces your time in braces or Invisalign by 35 to 50%. However, this enhanced process is only possible if the patient follows our instructions.
- Patients also like AcceleDent because it is easy to use. Patients use the treatment at home so that it can fit into busy schedules. People only need to use AcceleDent 20 minutes a day to get the desired results.
- The pulses help the bones respond to orthodontic treatment so they can handle various levels of pressure. By doing this, patients can find relief from teeth straightening treatment, such as braces or clear aligners.
You Have Questions…We Have answers
1. Can the 20-minute treatment be broken up throughout the day? We encourage our patients to complete the full 20 minutes of treatment at once.
2. Can AcceleDent be used when sleeping? You should not use AcceleDent when sleeping. The risk of damaging the accelerator or mouthpiece is increased if you attempt to use the device while sleeping.
3. Does using AcceleDent longer than 20 minutes a day make the teeth move faster? You should not use AcceleDent longer than 20 minutes a day. AcceleDent was designed for 20 minutes a day until the end of treatment. There is no benefit to using it longer.
4. What if the mouthpiece does not fit? Dr. Wazio can modify the mouthpiece so that it fits your mouth perfectly. If you have any issues wearing the mouthpiece, call us immediately. We can help to make the proper adjustments.
5. How hard should patients bite into the mouthpiece? You should bite hard enough to keep the mouthpiece in place. Biting too hard can cause accelerated wear on the mouthpiece.
