OrthoAccel’s technology is predicated on the application of pulsating, low magnitude forces (cyclic forces) to the teeth and surrounding bone as a means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. It is important to understand the history of this science and technology.
Let’s first consider past attempts at speeding up tooth movement, and then take a lesson from similar, well-understood scientific concepts in long bones as the ideal solution …
