OrthoAccel® Technologies, Inc., developers of the AcceleDent™ System, which is an acceleration device to reduce orthodontic treatment time, announced it has finalized an exclusive distribution agreement with Beijing Century Galaxy Corporations Co., Ltd (Shi Ji Change) to introduce the AcceleDent™ System in the People’s Republic of China.
AcceleDent™ is a removable appliance, similar to a mouth guard into which the patient bites, and represents the first non-surgical approach to modulate local bone biology and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Rather than using only the constant pressure applied by traditional braces, AcceleDent™ applies low frequency pulsation to the teeth. The patient uses the appliance once daily, for twenty minutes. Patients are able to carry out most routine daily tasks during the twenty minute activation period. Most importantly, AcceleDent™ is designed to work in conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as brackets to facilitate tooth movement.
OrthoAccel® recently completed a pivotal clinical trial in the United States. Analysis of the data has yielded results that exceeded expectations: daily use of AcceleDent™ safely increases the rate of tooth movement by 38 – 50% without increasing the risk of root resorption. The company also continues to hear positive feedback from patients, doctors and other partners as it relates to clinical results and a positive device experience.
The international distribution agreement between OrthoAccel® and Beijing Century Galaxy Corporations formalizes the proposed Terms of Agreement signed between the two companies earlier this year. Mike Kaufman, VP of Marketing and Business Development for OrthoAccel® commented, “China is a key market for us having a very large orthodontic patient population and private practice sector with significant double digit growth. Beijing Century Galaxy Corporations has a successful history with innovative product introductions. OrthoAccel® can capitalize on the well trained and very large external and internal sales teams already in place.”
Dong Xiao Lin, Marketing Manager of Beijing Century Galaxy Corporations remarked, “We believe that AcceleDent™ will bring significant and incremental value to the orthodontic patients in China. The underlying science and evidenced based medicine supporting AcceleDent™ is impeccable. ”
