Accelerated Orthodontics

Shortening treatment time is a top priority for our patients, and we achieve it through accelerated tooth-movement science. Dr. Chad Bulleigh implements biological principles to move teeth more efficiently than ever before. We combine high-tech materials with precise planning to help you reach your goals faster in Shawnee.

Patients often worry that faster treatment might compromise their results. Modern techniques actually enhance the predictability of tooth movement by focusing on biological remodeling. We use customized brackets and high-frequency vibration tools to stimulate the bone surrounding the teeth. This collaboration between technology and biology allows the teeth to slide into position with less resistance. Faster movement does not mean more discomfort. It means the system is working in harmony with your body.

The high school athlete wanted his braces off before his senior portraits in the fall. He followed the accelerated protocol and showed off his new smile right on schedule for the photographer.

Understanding Biological Remodeling

Bone is a living tissue that constantly changes in response to pressure. Orthodontic appliances trigger a process where bone is resorbed on one side of the tooth and deposited on the other. We optimize this cycle by using consistent, low-level forces that encourage steady progress. Our use of Lightforce 3D-printed brackets ensures that pressure is applied exactly where needed. This reduces the lag phase of tooth movement, which is the period when teeth seem to stop moving. By keeping the teeth in a state of active remodeling, we shave months off the total treatment time.

Common Questions About Accelerated Treatment

Is it safe to move teeth that quickly? It is very safe because we are just using the body’s natural ability to heal and change. We monitor your progress closely to ensure your roots and gums stay healthy throughout.

Does this require extra appointments? Actually, many of our high-tech options require fewer check-ups because the appliances are so efficient. You spend less time in our chair and more time enjoying your life.
