A revolutionary new device could be combined with invisible braces to help straighten patients’ teeth more quickly.

The AcceleDent was released for testing in October 2009 and has now been rolled out to dental professionals across the country after achieving significant success.

It is a removable device that patients wear for just 20 minutes a day to produce a gentle vibrational force that enhances the pressure provided by invisible braces.

Some people have found it could cut treatment time by more than 50 per cent.

“The pulsing feels like a gentle massage for my teeth and gums – and I look forward to it every evening,” one patient who used the device commented.

Earlier this week, Connie Allfrey of the London Evening Standard wrote about her positive experience with invisible braces, explaining that she found them relatively unobtrusive and found her teeth to be much straighter after six weeks’ treatment.
