Any way to make your braces treatment work faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Orthodontic treatment is fastest when oral hygiene is excellent. Swollen gums slow treatment down. This year, we had a new product introduced called acceledent. Studies show reduced treatment times by 38-50%. It stimulates blood flow through the bone and speeds up the biology of tooth movement. Very cool!
