How can I make my teeth move faster with braces?

At Jennifer Stachel Orthodontics, we offer AcceleDent and Propel to help speed up your orthodontic treatment time without compromising on your results.

Is AcceleDent covered by insurance?

AcceleDent is used to expedite orthodontic treatment, but it is not considered medically necessary so it isn’t covered by dental insurance.

Can you use AcceleDent more than once a day?

We recommended that you only use AcceleDent once a day for 20 minutes. This is the optimal amount of time to accelerate your treatment—using it longer than this won’t yield better or faster results.

Does AcceleDent actually work?

AcceleDent is backed by clinical studies and research. Our practice has observed great results with our patients.

Can AcceleDent cause root resorption?

AcceleDent is used by thousands of orthodontists around the world and has been studied extensively, with no evidence that it causes root resorption or other dental problems.

How do you clean AcceleDent?

After each use, disconnect the mouthpiece and rinse it thoroughly with lukewarm water. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap, non-abrasive toothpaste, or liquid dish soap on the mouthpiece once a week.

What is AcceleDent?

AcceleDent is a groundbreaking tool that allows you to reduce your time in braces or aligners and speed up your orthodontic care. SoftPulse Technology is used by the AcceleDent device to generate small vibrations, or micropulses, that gently accelerate the movement of your teeth as directed by your orthodontics.

These precisely-calibrated vibrations are transmitted through the roots of the tooth to the surrounding jawbone and increase cellular activity. Many patients report that these micropulses make their braces and aligners more comfortable. In fact, AcceleDent has been shown in clinical studies to reduce pain and discomfort by up to 71%. AcceleDent has also been clinically shown to accelerate tooth movement by up to 50%.

AcceleDent means fewer orthodontic appointments and a reduced risk of oral health problems like cavities, gum irritation, and white spots on enamel because teeth move faster. At Jennifer Stachel Orthodontics, we're thrilled to be able to offer this advanced treatment option to our patients.
