What Doctors are Saying
Dr. Jeremy Mao
Orthodontics has relied on the delivery of static forces to induce tooth movement for over a century. Pulsatile forces generate multiple stimuli to bone cells and have been shown to accelerate bone remodeling in scientific literature. OrthoAccel's® technology has the potential to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement by smart, automated devices. It would make orthodontics less labor intensive and put orthodontists in a position to fine-tune treatment plans, and monitor the outcome of tooth movement at each visit. Treatment with braces becomes a seasonal episode instead of a multi-year event.

This technology has promise in modulating speed of tooth movement.
Dr. Jeryl D. English
Traditional orthodontic treatment requires an average of 24 months, so the possibility of shortening this will be welcomed by both patients and clinicians.
Dr. Chung How Kau
I am glad to be involved in the first human trial for this device. Surprisingly, patients have been very receptive to the technology and the prospect of reducing treatment times with this device. I believe that as new data is acquired that the device will have a place in orthodontics.
Dr. Dubravko Pavlin, DMD, MSD, PhD
One of the most exciting things about the technology is that it can be used in all orthodontic patients, regardless of the type of malocclusion. It is based on sound biological and clinical research and on the same principles used in the most current treatment of osteoporosis. In addition to the benefits of the treatment outcome will most likely be proven to be more stable and the retention period shortened. The patients who use the AcceleDent™ in our clinical trial tolerate the device very well and consider it well worth the effort they need to put into using it for 20 minutes per day because of the multiple benefits they are receiving.
Dr. Gerry Bellman / Private Practice, London, UK
I think that any technique that safely speeds up tooth movement has a great future in the advancement of orthodontics.
Dr. Lawrence J. Levens, DDS, MS, P. C.
This technology will revolutionize orthodontic treatment for our patients.
