Dr. Olson, an orthodontist, strives to make teeth straightening as quick and painless as possible. AcceleDent is a recent advancement that could reduce the amount of time you spend wearing braces, allowing you to enjoy your new smile as soon as possible. If you're considering AcceleDent technology in Verrado, Buckeye, or Litchfield Park, these benefits might convince you to schedule an appointment.
1. AcceleDent Is Safe
AcceleDent uses SoftPulse technology to gently accelerate your teeth's movement with minimal pain and discomfort. The device resembles a mouthguard with a thick handle. When you place the activator in your mouth and activate the pulses, the device will stimulate your teeth with small vibrations.
This process is hands-free and takes only 20 minutes each day. You can easily use AcceleDent while you're watching TV, working on homework, or scrolling through social media. Since AcceleDent is FDA-cleared, you can trust that you're using a regulated product. Currently, AcceleDent is only available through an orthodontist's prescription.
2. The Device Is Portable
When you qualify for AcceleDent, you'll receive a box that contains the activator, a charging case, instructions, a travel pouch, a USB cable, and a power adapter. The device is small and fits easily into your hand. With its compact size, you can easily stash the activator in your bag and take it to work, school, or a friend's house.
Cleaning your activator is a breeze, too. The device is waterproof, so simply hold the activator under running water after each use, then dry it with a soft towel. To clean the charging case, wipe the surface with a damp towel and dry it off before storing your activator.
3. You Could Spend Less Time With Braces
AcceleDent doesn't replace your braces or aligners. However, this technology could increase tooth movement by up to 50%, allowing Dr. Olson, an orthodontist, to remove your braces ahead of schedule. This reduces the amount of time you'll spend dealing with brackets, wires, or trays and worrying about food particles getting stuck in your equipment.
4. The App Tracks Your Progress
When your device arrives, you'll also get access to the AcceleDent app that tracks your progress during treatment. Once you sign in, you'll see how long you've used AcceleDent during each session and get reminders to continue or adjust your routine. Our office uses this information to see how quickly you're progressing.
BlueTooth technology allows AcceleDent to collect information with little effort on your part. You'll also get access to community features that allow your friends, relatives, and orthodontist to motivate you and celebrate your accomplishments.
5. AcceleDent Is Accessible
AcceleDent is safe for most patients, including children, teenagers, and adults. However, we might schedule an appointment to ensure that you're a good candidate before ordering your activator. We might also discuss payment options during this time.
