PROPEL VPRO5: AN ACCELERATED ORTHODONTIC

PROPEL V PRO 5 DEVICE AND ACCELEDENT

Traditional braces have been one of the most common dental methods used to straighten teeth.  One of the disadvantages to using braces is the length of time necessary for them to achieve the goal of straighter teeth. Even using some of the more modern aligners can be a lengthy process. Over the last few years, there have been some major advancements in orthodontic procedures which work to shorten the time needed to achieve a beautiful smile. Propel Vpro5 or AcceleDent is effective for straightening your teeth and does it in a significantly shorter time frame.

WHAT IS PROPEL VPRO5?

Propel Vpro5 is considered accelerated orthodontics. AcceleDent and Propel Vpro5 uses low and high frequency vibrations to help align your teeth in a faster, more comfortable way. Using the small, orthodontic device with other orthodontic treatments helps your teeth align faster than wearing traditional braces alone.

HOW DOES PROPEL VPRO5 AND ACCELEDENT WORK?

The device produces gentle pulses that gently work to speed up the movement of your teeth. The device is light, portable and easy to use and clinical testing has revealed that treatment is accelerated by about 50% for most patients. Dentists recommend patients use the device for about five minutes each day, typically along with their nightly brush at night before bed. The unit is plugged into to a wall charger when it is not in use.
