Realigning teeth can take a long time. Traditional metal braces are typically worn for more than 18 months, depending on how crooked the teeth are, and alternatives like Invisalign can take just as long. Here at Kraus Orthodontics, we are proud to offer a product that works alongside these traditional techniques to shorten the amount of time it takes to straighten your teeth, it’s called AcceleDent.
AcceleDent is clinically proven to reduce the treatment time for tooth realignment and is completely safe to use. Although it has been available in Europe and Australia since 2009, AcceleDent has only been in the United State since 2012. Since it entered North America, more and more Orthodontics have recommended AcceleDent to their patient who wish to get their smile corrected sooner rather than later.
How it Works
The first thing you do after obtaining AcceleDent from Dr. Kraus is insert AcceleDent’s mouthpiece over your existing orthodontic devices and turn it on. AcceleDent is hands-free allowing patients to multitask while wearing the mouthpiece. The device uses tiny vibrations to accelerate bone and teeth movement and helps speed up the realignment process. AcceleDent only needs to be worn for 20 minutes a day and will turn off automatically once the daily process is complete.
Why get AcceleDent?
There are more benefits to using AcceleDent than helping to straighten out your teeth in a shorter period of time, although the prospect of using the device for only 20 minutes a day to decrease your treatment time should be a major selling point. AcceleDent is also comfortable to wear and can help alleviate soreness and pain associated with traditional metal braces. Because AcceleDent can cut your treatment time in half, there will be significantly fewer appointments needed.
