When you get braces on your teeth, chances are you want to get rid of them as soon as possible so you can start enjoying your brand new smile. One innovative way to speed up the orthodontics process is AcceleDent Optima, a safe and simple appliance used daily that has been proven to accelerate the effectiveness of braces.

AcceleDent Optima is a comfortable, light, hands-free dental appliance that uses vibrations to hasten tooth movement while wearing braces. The device has been approved by the FDA and its patented SoftPulse Technology has been proven safe and reliable in clinical trials. Your braces guide your teeth in movement into the correct positions, and AcceleDent Optima’s gentle micropulses enhance the movement.

Using AcceleDent Aura is easy. Just insert the mouthpiece, which has been properly fitted around your braces by your orthodontist, and turn on the Activator. Apply just enough bite pressure to allow the device to stay in place without needing to use your hands. It is recommended that patients wear the AcceleDent Optima device for a continuous 20 minutes every day to achieve optimum results.

Research indicates teeth move up to 50 percent faster than without using AcceleDent Optima. This means that the duration of your orthodontic treatment may lessen, which just about every patient is happy to hear! The device works in conjunction with most types of orthodontics. It is only available by prescription through your orthodontist, and it can be used to help patients of all ages reach their smile goals faster.

If you are wearing braces and would like to see if you can get them off sooner than anticipated, ask Sherman Oaks orthodontist Dr. Fotovat about AcceleDent Optima to learn if it’s an option for you. Chances are you’ll be showing off your great new smile in no time with the help of this state-of-the-art tool.
