Currently, one of the more popular methods to accelerate tooth movement is the application of vibrational forces to the dentition. The AcceleDent® device was introduced to the specialty of orthodontics to reduce treatment time. The purpose of this presentation is to answer these questions: Does the AcceleDent® device enables faster orthodontic treatment by allowing patients to change aligners every week, instead of every two weeks? Does the use of AcceleDent® result in better final alignment? Does the AcceleDent® reduce orthodontic pain and improve oral health related quality of life?
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the impact of supplemental vibration on ability to complete the aligner series when changed every week and the degree of alignment achieved.
Identify the impact of supplemental vibration on the orthodontic pain level the overall quality of life when used in conjunction with aligners.
