Overview
Accelerated orthodontics is a specialized approach aimed at reducing the time required to straighten teeth and achieve desired dental alignments compared to traditional orthodontic methods. The field has evolved significantly, driven by advancements in techniques and technology that accelerate tooth movement safely and effectively.One of the primary methods used in accelerated orthodontics is the application of devices that generate controlled forces to stimulate bone remodeling around the teeth. These devices include high-frequency vibrations, such as those generated by devices like AcceleDent or Propel Orthodontics. These vibrations enhance cellular activity around the teeth, facilitating quicker tooth movement. Another technique involves the use of micro-osteoperforations, where tiny holes are created in the bone surrounding the teeth. This stimulates localized inflammation and accelerates bone turnover, aiding in faster tooth movement.In addition to mechanical methods, accelerated orthodontics also leverages advancements in orthodontic materials.
