What is Accelerated Orthodontics?
Accelerated orthodontics is a newer treatment for braces developed to shorten the treatment time for patients who can wear them. It combines standard orthodontic treatment protocols with minor oral surgery to reduce the time needed to straighten teeth. Those who wear them can expect to decrease treatment time to three to eight months on average.

Can Any Patient Benefit from Accelerated Orthodontics?
Accelerated orthodontics is recommended for most types of orthodontic treatments from minor corrections to realigning teeth to bite improvements. Those with moderate to severe orthodontic issues could still require traditional orthodontics over the general time span of about two years. During a consultation with one of our orthodontists, we can evaluate your mouth and recommend whether accelerated orthodontics is an effective treatment.
How Does Accelerated Orthodontics Work?
There are two methods for accelerated orthodontics used to shorten the treatment. One is more invasive than the other as it involves minor oral surgery to adapt the bone structure and gum tissue to allow the teeth to shift to the correct place in a faster manner. The other uses a device that sends micro-pulses of energy to the roots of the teeth to encourage them to move to their correct positions faster. Either treatment can be performed with any type of orthodontics. Research has shown that accelerated orthodontics reduces treatment by up to 50 percent.
