Braces are surely uncomfortable to wear and too for such a long time. it can affect our eating habits, oral cavity and even mood because of the round the clock discomfort. Here is when Acceledent comes to the rescue. This handy tool is used to accelerate the speed of orthodontic treatment. It has shown to decrease the treatment time of braces by 38 to 50% in most of the patients. The instrument is used for 20 minutes a day to help the teeth move quicker and painlessly. It also helps in decreasing the level of discomfort caused by the braces.
How Teeth Move?
Our teeth move by the process of bone remodeling. Force is applied on the bone cells and they are moved around the tooth root. The response of the cells causes changes in the surrounding of the tooth. Braces are placed on the teeth using wires. The wires are tightened every time you visit the dentist. Tightening exerts pressure on the teeth and forces them to move. Each tightening session makes a few days quite hard because of the discomfort. Dentists suggests that the braces should worn for 1-3 years. It is a really long and uncomfortable time. however, it can be significantly reduced with the use of Acceledent.
What is AcceleDent?
Acceledent uses soft pulse technology and cyclic force to move the teeth to a better position. The device is approved by FDA and it is surely the hottest topic of the orthodontic department. The device is a combination of braces, metal and Invisalign. In most patients it speeds up the treatment by 50% so you won’t have to wear your braces for long. If your dentists tell you that you need braces for a year, with Acceledent, the time will be reduced to six months. Being a non-invasive and non-surgical way to decrease discomfort, this instrument is becoming increasingly famous.
How Does AcceleDent Work?
Acceledent is a hands-free accessory that has a mouth piece connected to an activator. The mouth piece vibrates and exerts a few newton force about to 200 times. The force is way less than the electric toothbrush and chewing force. As the micropulses speed up, the rate of bone remodeling process is also increased. Even though you will have visit the dentists as frequent as earlier, but the results will come up faster than the conventional treatment. Patients using Invisalign with Acceledent will need to change the tray more frequently but painlessly this time.
