Accelerated Orthodontics and Surgery

 

Accelerated orthodontics will involve some oral surgery within about a week after your braces are placed. Done under anesthesia, you will feel minor discomfort for a few days following the procedure, but it is overall less painful than traditional orthodontics. It is common to have an itching sensation in your gums initially as your teeth are moving much faster than with traditional dental braces.

 

You will have regular and frequent follow-up visits as you would with traditional braces to check for any adjustments that may need to be made. Your doctor may suggest a retainer to be worn periodically afterwards to keep your teeth in their new position.

 

 

Advantages of accelerated orthodontics

 

The biggest advantage is the three to eight months it takes to have a great smile, versus one to three years with traditional braces. Your teeth are assisted in moving faster with little loss of either root or bone support as with previous methods.
