Reduce Time, Increase Comfort

 

On average, the AcceleDent system reduces orthodontic treatment time up to 37% – but there is proven research that it can shorten it by up to 50%. Dr. Mergen’s advanced treatment technique provides treatment in less time with an average of 12-14 months.

AcceleDent also offers 76% more comfort by reducing the soreness associated with teeth movement. By using this pain-free, easy appliance, you’ll achieve your most perfect smile in no time at all – and do it with more comfort!

How Accelerated Treatment Works

 

AcceleDent is a light, comfortable, and hands-free appliance that is used 20 minutes per day as a complement to Invisalign or braces to expedite tooth movement. The patented technology gently vibrates the teeth and surrounding bone to increase the blood flow in the area allowing the process of tooth movement to occur more rapidly. The best part of the AcceleDent system is that it’s completely safe! You may experience a slight tingling sensation, much like that of the vibration of an electric toothbrush, but it should diminish after you become accustomed to using the appliance.

With AcceleDent, you can accelerate your orthodontic experience without sacrificing aesthetics. It can be used by adolescents, teens, and adults, and it is completely safe for all patients. The appliance is so lightweight and comfortable, you may even forget you’re using it! Plus, the hands-free design allows you to achieve a beautiful, straight smile faster than you ever thought possible – even while reading, watching television, listening to music, or doing work on your laptop.
