Propel Orthodontics can help you accelerate your treatment for crooked or misaligned teeth. Adults are increasingly looking for the best orthodontic options to straighten their smiles. Traditional orthodontic treatment involves teeth moving due to pressures from your braces.
As teeth move through the bone, they cause bone remodeling. This process can be accelerated with Propel Orthodontics by stimulating the bone to rebuild and remodel. You will achieve the desired results faster and with less discomfort. Propel has been shown to cut orthodontic treatment times by as much as 60% in clinical trials.
What is a propel treatment?
Propel, a revolutionary orthodontic device can speed up your orthodontic treatment. It is a revolutionary orthodontic device that works in harmony with the patient’s biology to stimulate the bone surrounding the teeth. The tooth movement will be hastened, and bone regrowth will be enhanced by executing micro-osteoperforations.
How does it work?
It is a very simple treatment, and even though it seems complex, it is actually quite easy to use. These are the steps:
- Your orthodontist will first take x-rays in order to measure the gap between your teeth.
- You can feel the bone under your gums to double-check our findings.
- We will administer local anesthesia to ensure that you feel no discomfort during the procedure.
- Propel will be used by your orthodontist to create a small hole through your gum and into any underlying bone. There will be one to three holes on each side of every tooth that is going to be treated.
This simple process will make your teeth move faster! Sometimes you will need to return to the dentist to have the procedure performed again. In other cases, one treatment is all that you will need.
Is Propel Safe?
According to the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Propel is an “effective, safe, and effective procedure that significantly accelerates tooth movement.”
Propel Treatment Aftercare
Although there is no recovery time following a Propel procedure, there are steps you can follow to ensure you get the best possible experience. After a treatment:
It’s possible for your mouth to be a little sensitive, but this will resolve in a few days. Anti-inflammatory pain medication such as Ibuprofen or Aspirin should be avoided. Propel uses inflammation to speed up the treatment of orthodontic patients.
Avoid spicy foods and citric acid-containing foods for several days. To keep your mouth clean and healthy, use undiluted hydrogen peroxide twice or three times daily to heal the micro-perforations.
