THE CUTTING EDGE
Long-Distance Orthodontic Treatment with Adjunctive Light Therapy
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 757 : Dec 2015
Orthodontists are constantly looking for ways to improve the ease of treatment, patient comfort, and "throughput". Prescription bonded brackets and nickel titanium wires are just two examples of these efforts. In our Cutting Edge column this month, Dr. Timothy Shaughnessy explores another trend in orthodontic treatment: accelerated orthodontics. During my five decades in the profession, various methods for speeding up treatment, including electrical stimulation and hormonal and chemical applications, have occasionally surfaced. None of these has gained widespread acceptance. Now gaining some traction, however, are both invasive procedures that stimulate the body's reparative process and noninvasive vibratory stimulation of the periodontal membrane.
