AcceleDent can be used to speed up tooth movement, in conjunction with other teeth straightening treatments.
How does AccleDent work?
By inserting the Mouthpiece, fitted around your existing fixed braces or clear aligners, and turning on the Activator for 20 minutes every day, AcceleDent can speed up tooth movement by utilizing SoftPulse Technology®.
By how much time will AcceleDent reduce my treatment?
Research has shown that tooth movement is accelerated by 106% during the initial phase of treatment and up to 50% during the subsequent phase of treatment, potentially shortening conventional orthodontic treatment time.
What types of orthodontic treatment work with AcceleDent?
AcceleDent works in conjunction with most orthodontics.
Do I have to do the full 20-minute treatment at one time?
Yes. It is recommended that you use your AcceleDent for a continuous 20-minute period each day.
Should aligners be removed or kept on during AcceleDent use?
AcceleDent micropulse vibration works on a cellular level to motivate tooth movement, so aligners do not need to be on for AcceleDent to work, but lightly biting on the mouthpiece with your aligners on may help ensure that the aligners have the optimal points of contact with the teeth.
Is AccleDent safe?
Yes. AcceleDent with SoftPulse Technology has been demonstrated safe and reliable in U.S. clinical trials.
How do I know if I am biting into the Mouthpiece correctly and with the right amount of force?
Bite pressure on the Mouthpiece should be just firm enough to hold your AcceleDent in place without using your hands. Avoid biting forcibly into the Mouthpiece as that may cause excessive wear.
What is the best way to clean AcceleDent?
The Mouthpiece should be rinsed well with lukewarm water after each use. You may occasionally use a soft liquid dishwashing detergent, a mild soap, or toothpaste to gently brush the Mouthpiece. The Activator can be wiped with a damp cloth as necessary. The metal contacts of the Activator must be free of any dirt or residue. It is recommended that you allow your AcceleDent to air dry before being stored in the Travel Shell. Do not place the Mouthpiece or the Activator in a dishwasher as this will void the warranty and could cause damage to the product.
