Propel Orthodontics: What is It?

Recreating your smile, unfortunately, does not happen overnight. It takes several months or years to shift your teeth into a beautiful grin. However, with the addition of Propel Orthodontics added to your regular braces or aligners, your journey to that perfect smile could be cut in half! This advanced orthodontic technique allows patients to fast track their treatments, usually getting finished in about half the time as regular orthodontic care. While all patients vary, with Propel Orthodontics you can be seeing the smile you want in months rather than years.

Propel Orthodontics uses devices that stimulate the bones surrounding your teeth, helping them to move faster and more predictably into the ideal position of your new smile. These innovative procedures work alongside with the current orthodontics treatments such as traditional braces or Invisalign, by moving the teeth into the preferred position 50% faster than traditional orthodontic processes alone. Baptiste Orthodontics now offers Propel in Orlandoso you can enjoy that perfect smile even faster and requiring less office visits.

This advances system creates micro osteo-perforations to help stimulate bone production in the upper and lower jaw. Micro osteo-perforations is a process in which small pinholes openings are created in the bones surrounding your teeth to accelerate their movement in orthodontic treatments. With the help of braces or aligners, teeth already move through bone with the help of many different cells, some of which cause inflammation. By using a system, like Propel, that creates these perforations in the bone, it induces a favorable inflammatory response, applying the patient’s own biology to stimulate the bone around the teeth and providing faster tooth movement and healing recovery time.

Propel Orthodontics is a safe procedure that many are turning towards for a faster orthodontic experience. In some rare cases is it also proving to be helpful with more difficult tooth movement cases that traditional orthodontic treatments could not have done alone. The procedure involves very little discomfort to the patient and requires no recovery time. Many patients who receive Propel Orthodontic treatments are able to return to their daily routines straight away.

Adults who are seeking orthodontic treatment can also benefit from Propel Orthodontics. Because adults’ bones have matured and are no longer developing, the time it would take to recreate a smile could take twice as long as it would have during adolescent years. By using a system like Propel Orthodontics, it is assisting the adult patient’s biology to help stimulate tooth movement therefore the time spent in braces or aligners, could be significantly reduced.

To achieve that perfect, beautiful smile, the first step is to schedule a consultation. Your orthodontist will make sure that you are a good candidate and that Propel Orthodontics, along with traditional braces or aligners, is the right choice for you.
