Accelerated Orthodontics is a new approach to straightening your teeth that seeks to increase the rate of tooth movement by 25 to 50%, thereby reducing the treatment time. There Are several techniques for accelerated orthodontic treatment, including:

1. Tooth Vibration

This technique uses Micro-osteoperforation (MOP) technology to speed up the movement of teeth. This approach involves the use of tiny micro pulses that are about 8 times gentler than those generated by an electric toothbrush. These micropulses are accurately directed to the areas of the jaw that need stimulation in order to soften the tissue around the bone and allow it move in the direction of the forces exerted by the braces or other orthodontic appliance.

This non-invasive technique can be used every day for 20 minutes to shorten treatment by up to 50%. Patients using Invisalign treatment report wearing each set of aligners for one week instead of two when combining the treatment with these vibrations.

2. Fast Braces

Conventional metal braces move the crown and roots separately in two phases, which in turn increases treatment time. The Fastbraces brackets feature a unique elbow design and an elevated slot; two factors that affect the force-flexibility balance and make it possible to move the entire tooth at once. This reduces frictional forces associated with moving the crown and root separately, which helps to reduce pain and root resorption.

The square design of traditional brackets reflects the distance between brackets, which in turn influences the flexibility of the wire. By increasing the distance between brackets, the triangle-shaped brackets also boost the wire flexibility. Moreover, the triangular brackets help to transmit torquing and tipping forces to the tooth root throughout the treatment.

Thanks to this patented brackets design, Fastbraces can help to align your teeth and give you a straighter smile in as little as three months, and one year at most.

3. Minor Gum Surgery

Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) involves the use of a minimally invasive surgical procedure to soften bone tissue around the teeth so they can move 2-4 times faster when using braces. This treatment not only reduces teeth straightening by more than 50%, but also allows expansion treatment for adults to widen the jaws for crowded teeth to fit better without the need for extractions.
