Spend Less Time In Braces
Tooth misalignments, also called malocclusions, affect many people. These orthodontic issues can manifest in a variety of ways. But, whatever your specific malocclusion, Dr. Dann Orthodontics has the orthodontic treatment to not only correct the problem, but also achieve the optimal smile you desire.
Patients from Winter Park, Orlando, and many other surrounding communities entrust their malocclusion care to Dr. Dann. His practice combines high-quality treatment with compassionate care at every turn. And as a leading orthodontist, he skillfully utilizes the latest in orthodontic technologies, such as AcceleDent, to make treatment faster and more efficient than ever before.
What Is AcceleDent?
Think of AcceleDent as a boost to your orthodontic treatment, one that can work in coordination with the many types of braces offered at Dr. Dann Orthodontics.
Here’s how it works. AcceleDent is a handheld device that fits comfortably over your braces. The mouthpiece of the device sends vibrating pulses through your teeth. These vibrations are precisely calibrated to affect the ligaments holding the teeth in place, influencing them to move more readily into their new positions.
As a result, thanks to this FDA-approved device, patients can see alignment results even faster than with braces alone. In fact, AcceleDent can reduce the time patients spend in braces by 38% to 50%.
Using AcceleDent
This innovative, hands-free device is designed for patients to use in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Each patient must closely follow the treatment schedule outlined by his or her orthodontist in order to achieve target alignment results. But do not worry; using AcceleDent is quite easy and involves only a few steps:
- The patient bites down on the mouthpiece.
- The mouthpiece is kept in place for 20 minutes while treatment takes place.
- The process is repeated according to the schedule personalized by your orthodontist.
The AcceleDent mouthpiece is placed in a charger when not in use; this keeps it ready for your next treatment session. The charger also keeps a record of your treatment experience, which your orthodontist can use to help gauge your progress.
