There are so many different kinds of orthodontic appliances, from traditional metal braces to Invisalign, and we help patients make their choice according to factors like appearance, and duration of treatment. But did you know we can speed up treatment time for all of them, using one simple device? At Dr. Ross Taddeo Orthodontics, we speed up the results of orthodontic treatment in Orlando, FL, using Propel vPro, delivering patients faster results while minimizing discomfort.
What is Propel vPro
Propel vPro is a handheld device that delivers high-frequency vibrations through a mouthpiece to accelerate the orthodontic movement. The vibrations target the periodontal ligaments, which hold each tooth in the jaw but allow for very slight movement. Stimulating these ligaments with 5 minutes of gentle, high-frequency vibrations every day, helps the teeth move more fluidly into their new positions over time without causing any pain.
Benefits of Propel vPro
Improves Predictability
Some orthodontic treatments like Invisalign are less predictable because they are not fixed appliances worn and adjusted constantly. Propel vPro allows for more predictable results by easing the transition between retainers and mitigating unexpected resistance.
Decreases Discomfort
The vibrations used in the Propel stimulate the tissues, ligaments, and bones that hold the teeth in place, sending them signals that it’s time to move. This eases up the tension that naturally resists movement in the mouth, and greatly reduces pain.
Speeds Treatment
Using Propel vPro daily as a part of orthodontic treatment has been shown to reduce treatment time up to 64%.
Helps Tackle Difficult Cases
Orthodontists who use Propel vPro are even more likely to employ it in difficult cases where dramatic tooth movements are needed to achieve results, because of how effectively it helps encourage those movements, large or small.
