Accelerated Orthodontics

Smile is a universally known expression of happiness and can brighten up not just your day, but others around you as well. However, if you're hiding behind a shy smile and are afraid to open wide because you don't like the appearance of your teeth, then braces are the answer. Orthodontic treatment, however, is a double-edged sword, as it brings along potential risks of gingival inflammation, root resorption, enamel decalcification, and most importantly, it can burnout patient's co-operation. These consequences can be minimized if the duration of treatment is shortened. Unfortunately many potential orthodontic patients decline treatment, due to long treatment time of 2 years or longer. Accelerated Orthodontics has proved to be effective, and predictable and has led to a remarkable paradigm shift in orthodontics.Hence, this book provides an overview of several methods to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement so that orthodontic treatment in present day not just improves the functional harmony and esthetic outlook but is also completed in efficient duration with minimal side-effects.
