ACCELEDENT™ GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY IN ORTHODONTIC CARE
We are proud to offer our patients the first ever micropulse orthodontic device, the AcceleDent System. With as little as just twenty minutes a day, which is significantly faster than other options, the AcceleDent offers compelling clinical results, not to mention the reduced patient discomfort. It is an FDA cleared Class II medical device which complements traditional fixed braces. The AcceleDent creates very precise micropulses to speed up tooth movement, in turn reducing treatment time significantly.
ACCELEDENT ADVANCES THE SCIENCE OF ORTHODONTIC CARE TO A NEW LEVEL:
- AcceleDent can potentially reduce orthodontic treatment time by five months by speeding up tooth movement by 50% during closure of extraction space and by 106% during the initial alignment phase.
- With no difference in loss of rear anchorage, no evidence of elevated root resorption and no serious adverse events, safety was clearly shown in not one but two U.S. trials.
- In private practice use, AcceleDent has international experience for over two years.
ITERO®
We pride ourselves on having the very latest in technology available in our office to ensure the highest standard of patient care and comfort. This is why we use the iTero® , a cutting edge digital impression system, made by Align Technology. This fantastic new digital system means no more unpleasant putty tray impressions, and is extremely popular with our patients.
With the use of the digital scanner, we are able to take 3-D images of your bite and teeth. It is these images which allow us to make a fully customized treatment plan that is specific to your needs. It also allows us to visually show you how different treatment options would work as well as being able to keep you fully informed of progress throughout your treatment.
Once your treatment plan has been decided on, those digital impressions help us to make your custom trays which help us to apply the brackets to your teeth all at once. This increases overall effectiveness and of course increases efficiency.
Below you will find just a few of the benefits of iTero digital impressions over traditional putty impressions:
- Accuracy: They capture the exact contours of your teeth.
- Efficiency: They require less time in the treatment chair.
- Comfort: Taking the digital images is less invasive. No putty is used, and patients are more at ease without fearing they will gag on the impression putty.
- Customization: They provide a digital plan and allow for trays that are tailored to meet the individual needs and desires of each patient.
- Visualization: They provide each patient with a definite picture of what their teeth will look like before, during and after orthodontic treatment.
- Innovation: They use the most advanced 3-D video technologies.
