Comparing Accelerated Treatment Options

Morita Orthodontics is proud to offer the most comprehensive orthodontics in Aiea and Honolulu, HI. We believe in going above and beyond to make sure that our patients receive the most effective and efficient orthodontic treatment possible. Not only do we provide treatments such as braces and Invisalign, but we’re also proud to offer accelerated orthodontic treatment.

Accelerated Orthodontics: An Overview

Accelerated orthodontics is a type of orthodontics where the patient wears another orthodontic device in conjunction with braces or Invisalign in order to speed up treatment time. This can reduce treatment times by months or even years.  Both of the accelerated orthodontic treatment options that we offer—AcceleDent and Propel—significantly speed up orthodontic treatment time for our patients.

AcceleDent

As the name suggests, AcceleDent is one of our accelerated treatment options. To speed up orthodontic treatment, we fit the AcceleDent mouthpiece around your existing orthodontics. Some of the features of AcceleDent include the following:

• AcceleDent is clinically proven and safe.
• AcceleDent is compatible with both braces and Invisalign.
• This treatment speeds up the movement of teeth by up to 50%.
• AcceleDent is used at home and meant to be worn around the braces or other orthodontics for about 20 minutes per day to maximize the benefits.
• This treatment doesn’t require you to make any extra visits to the orthodontist.

Propel

The Propel System is a revolutionary new system that stimulates bone remodeling. Propel is a device that makes micro-perforations in the bone around the teeth in order to quicken the orthodontic treatment process. Some of Propel’s features include the following:

• Propel is clinically proven and safe.
• Propel is compatible with both braces and Invisalign.
• This treatment speeds up the movement of teeth by about 50 to 60%.
• We perform the Propel procedure in our office, and it only takes a few minutes. There is also no recovery time needed after this and you can immediately return to your normal routine.
• When you use Propel, you’ll have to come back about every three months to renew the effects.
