The Effects of Low-frequency Vibration on Aligner Treatment Duration: A Clinical Trial
2021
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an orthodontic tooth movement acceleration device (AcceleDent, OrthoAccel Technologies, Houston, Texas) when used during an aligner treatment. Materials and Methods: Adult patients who began an aligner treatment (Lineo, Micerium Lab, Avegno, Italy) were allocated to two treatment groups. The first one (Group A), with a 7-day aligner change regimen, used the AcceleDent device for 20 min per day, whereas the second one (Group B) changed the aligners every 14 days and did not use any device. The registered outcomes were the possibility of completing the treatment, the number of aligners needed and treatment duration in t…
Pain control during orthodontic treatment first
2020
Aim: The introduction of aligner treatment has recently modified patients’ expectations regarding orthodontic treatment. Since their demand for smart, fast and comfortable treatments cannot be neglected, interest for new techniques and devices in this field has raised. Among these, AcceleDent® (OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc., Houston, TX) has been drawing the attention of the scientific community. AcceleDent® is a vibrating device (frequency 30 Hz, force 20 g), which, through a daily 20 minutes usage, promises to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and reduce treatment-related pain. This device is currently being employed during both fixed orthodontic appliance and aligner therapy all over…
