Want faster orthodontic results but need the facts?

1) Aligners with device assistance (Aevo / PROPEL / OrthoPulse)

• What it is: Non-invasive devices used at home or chairside to encourage faster tooth movement while you wear aligners or braces.
• Good for: Adults seeking a potential timeline boost without surgery.
• What to expect: Daily or periodic use as instructed; consistent wear is essential.
• Considerations: Results vary. We’ll discuss current evidence, best-case vs. typical expectations, and whether your case is likely to benefit.

2) Surgically assisted acceleration (Piezocision / PAOO)

• What it is: Minor in-office procedures that stimulate the bone’s remodeling response and can allow faster movement in carefully selected cases.
• Good for: Specific alignment needs where greater acceleration is helpful and gums/bone are healthy.
• What to expect: A planned, single or staged appointment coordinated with your aligner/braces sequence; temporary tenderness similar to other minor oral procedures.
• Considerations: Higher potential for speedup, but only recommended when benefits clearly outweigh added steps.

3) Visit-efficiency strategy (works for everyone)

• What it is: Smart logistics—remote check-ins, bundled aligners, evening/Saturday appointment blocks—to reduce time away from work.
• Good for: Busy schedules where fewer interruptions matter as much as total treatment months.

Considerations: This is included in our standard orthodontic planning and often delivers the most real-world convenience.

Every case is unique, so here’s how timelines often look when acceleration is considered. These are illustrative, not promises.

• Mild crowding/spacing (aligners only): ~6–9 months standard. With excellent wear and device assistance, some patients may finish several weeks faster.
  
  
• Moderate alignment with bite refinement: ~9–15 months standard. Select candidates using piezocision/PAOO or device assistance may see meaningful reductions, paired with fewer in-person visits.
  
  
• Complex bites: We’ll be candid when standard timing is the right call. In many complex cases, visit efficiency (remote check-ins, fewer chair visits) becomes the bigger win.
  
  

Our role is to give you an honest range upfront and keep you updated as we track progress.

We’ll recommend accelerated orthodontics only when it aligns with your oral health, bite goals, and risk profile.

• Health first: We confirm gum stability, bone levels, and cavity risk; we don’t accelerate through active disease.
  
  
• Expectation match: We map your goals to the least-invasive method that can reasonably achieve them.
  
  
• Evidence-guided: Device-based tools and surgically assisted methods are discussed with current evidence and case suitability—not blanket claims.
  
  

Your say matters: You’ll see the pros/cons for each option, including potential soreness, additional home steps, or procedural considerations.

Before you start

• Virtual consult option to discuss goals and logistics
  
  
• In-office records visit: photos, scan, and x-rays as indicated
  
  
• Clear treatment roadmap with milestones and check-in cadence
  
  

During treatment

• Remote photo reviews between visits when appropriate
  
  
• Bundled aligner deliveries so you switch sets without repeat pickups
  
  
• Evening & Saturday appointment blocks for in-person checks
  
  
• Fast, focused visits with clear next steps
  
  

After you finish

• Retention plan with custom retainers and wear schedule
  
  

Coaching on long-term stability and a plan for refinements if needed
