AcceleDent^™

Dr. Steven Luccarelli is a featured speaker for AcceleDent!

AcceleDent is a light, comfortable hands-free appliance used as a complement to braces to accelerate tooth movement. Gentle microvibrations stimulate local bone biology to increase remodeling. This allows teeth to move 38% - 50% faster. Patients benefit from faster tooth movement which may contribute to a reduction in treatment time.

How does AcceleDent work?

By inserting the Mouthpiece – fitted around your existing braces – and turning on the Activator for 20 minutes every day, AcceleDent can speed up tooth movement. Further tooth movement decreases the duration of your orthodontic treatment – and can even help to make your orthodontics more comfortable.

Is AcceleDent safe?

Yes. AcceleDent has been proven safe in several clinical trials. It is a Class II medical device that has been cleared for use by the FDA – the government agency that approves drugs and medical devices.

How is the orthodontic treatment accelerated?

Your braces work on their own by moving your teeth in specific directions. AcceleDent generates small vibrations – micropulses – enhancing the movements directed by your braces allowing for faster overall treatment.

By how much time will AcceleDent reduce my treatment?

Research has shown that tooth movement is accelerated by 106% during the initial phase of treatment and up to 50% during the subsequent phase of treatment– potentially shortening conventional orthodontic treatment time.
