Accelerated Orthodontics

To achieve the same teeth-straightening results as traditional braces in a much shorter period of time, Dr. Vo combines advanced orthodontic methods with periodontal oral surgery techniques. Traditional metal braces and other teeth-straightening appliances take a certain amount of time to move teeth primarily because of the bone tissue that surrounds the patient’s teeth. The slow but constant application of pressure that is provided by these appliances is, without a doubt, effective – but it takes time. Accelerated orthodontics speeds up the process by using periodontal oral surgery to activate the bone tissue, softening and stimulating it enough to allow the patient’s teeth to move in a much shorter period of time. Better still – the process helps to encourage the growth of new bone tissue to form a stronger foundation for the patient’s teeth.
