Accelerated Tooth Movement Debunked

Posted by Michael S. Stosich, DMD, MS, MS

My orthodontist recently suggested a device called Acceledent to speed up my orthodontic treatment. I don’t know much about it, and it seems crazy that putting something that vibrates on my teeth will help them move, but he’s convinced it works.

Alex G.
