OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. is developing a truly game-changing device for straightening teeth with orthodontics – Celerect. It substantially reduces treatment duration for wearing braces and works complementarily with all existing orthodontic technologies including both brackets and clear aligners.
 

Celerect uses the application of cyclic forces (sometimes described as pulsing or vibratory forces) in combination with standard orthodontics to move teeth in bone faster through accelerated bone remodeling. Scientifically, the technology is very similar to medical applications seen in other parts of the body, for example using vibration to accelerate fracture healing in long bones.

The Celerect appliance is a removable device, similar to a retainer, into which the patient bites. The premise is remarkably simple. Traditional braces apply steady force. Rather than using only constant pressure, Celerect applies low frequency pulsation to the teeth. The patient bites into the device once daily, for 10 - 20 minutes.
 

The vibration is barely noticeable and not uncomfortable. Some even say that it tickles! Patients can carry out most routine daily tasks during the 10 – 20 minute activation period. Most importantly, Celerect will work with all existing brackets as well as Invisalign; it’s a true complement to orthodontics. As OrthoAccel wins, patients, orthodontists, and other orthodontic companies also win.
