Accelerated Orthodontics in Roslyn, NY

What Is Accelerated Orthodontics?

Accelerated Orthodontics in Roslyn NY refers to advanced techniques that shorten orthodontic treatment time, working alongside traditional braces or clear aligners to move teeth faster. At Avenue Orthodontics, our award-winning doctors use two proven technologies: AcceleDent, a micropulse vibration device used at home, and Propel, an in-office micro-osteoperforation procedure. Together, these tools can significantly shorten treatment time for the right patients.

So what makes acceleration possible? Both techniques stimulate the bone surrounding your teeth, encouraging faster remodeling as your teeth shift into their new positions. AcceleDent delivers gentle micropulses through a small mouthpiece you use for 20 minutes each day. Propel creates tiny perforations in the bone during a quick in-office visit, jumpstarting biological activity that supports quicker tooth movement.

Here’s a quick comparison of the two options:

Accelerated orthodontic treatment isn’t a replacement for braces or Invisalign. Instead, it’s a companion technology that helps your existing orthodontic treatment work more efficiently, so you can enjoy your happy, healthy smile sooner.

Benefits of Accelerated Orthodontics

Accelerated orthodontics gives many teens and adults in Roslyn and Whitestone a faster path to a new smile, fewer office visits, and compatibility with both braces and clear aligners like Invisalign. For families with a wedding on the calendar, a big graduation photo coming up, or a simple desire to finish treatment sooner, acceleration technology can help you get there.

Key benefits include:

• Faster time to your new smile. Treatment can be significantly quicker for many patients.
• Fewer office visits. Less time in braces often means fewer appointments and less time away from school or work.
• Compatible with modern treatments. Works with clear aligners like Invisalign as well as traditional and clear braces.
• Often reduces soreness for many patients. Families frequently report less discomfort during tooth movement with AcceleDent’s gentle micropulses.
• Great for time-sensitive events. Ideal for weddings, reunions, senior photos, or career events.
• Supports better compliance. Shorter treatment windows can make it easier for teens to stay motivated.

You are more than a patient, you are family, and our doctors will help you decide if acceleration fits your timeline and goals.

How Accelerated Orthodontics Works: The Process

Accelerated orthodontics works by stimulating the bone around your teeth so it remodels more quickly during treatment. At Avenue Orthodontics, the process begins with a complimentary new patient smile assessment (a $450 value, compliments of Avenue Orthodontics), followed by a custom plan combining braces or Invisalign with AcceleDent or Propel technology, and finished with regular progress checkups.

Here’s what to expect, step by step:

1. Complimentary smile assessment and evaluation. Our doctors review your bite, take digital x-rays, and discuss your goals and timeline.
2. Custom treatment plan. Based on your case, we recommend traditional braces, clear braces, or Invisalign, along with AcceleDent, Propel, or both.
3. Acceleration begins. With AcceleDent, you’ll use the device for 20 minutes each day at home. With Propel, our orthodontists perform a short in-office micro-osteoperforation procedure to jumpstart bone remodeling.
4. Progress checkups. You’ll visit our Roslyn or Whitestone practice regularly so we can track tooth movement and adjust your plan as needed.

The science behind acceleration is straightforward. Micropulse vibration and micro-osteoperforation both activate the cells that control bone remodeling, which is the biological process your body uses to move teeth. When that process speeds up, so does your treatment time. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, an organization representing thousands of certified orthodontic specialists, advances like these are giving patients and families more flexibility and shorter treatment windows than ever before.

Are You a Candidate for Accelerated Orthodontics?

Most teens and adults currently in orthodontic treatment are candidates for accelerated orthodontics, but a professional evaluation is the only way to know for sure. The best candidates want faster treatment, are motivated to follow the plan, and have mild to complex alignment concerns that respond well to braces or Invisalign paired with AcceleDent or Propel technology.

You may be a good candidate if:

• You’re a teen or adult seeking a faster path to your new smile.
• You have an important event coming up, like a wedding, graduation, or career event.
• You’re already planning braces or Invisalign and want to shorten your treatment time.
• You’re motivated to use AcceleDent consistently for 20 minutes each day (if that option is recommended).
• You have mild, moderate, or complex alignment concerns that our doctors determine are well suited for acceleration.

Accelerated orthodontics is not a replacement for traditional orthodontic treatment. It works alongside braces or clear aligners, not instead of them. During your complimentary new patient smile assessment at Avenue Orthodontics, Dr. Eleni Michailidis, Dr. Abraham Chahine, or Dr. Grauer will review your case and let you know whether acceleration is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much faster is accelerated orthodontics?

For the right patients, accelerated orthodontics can meaningfully reduce treatment time. Actual results depend on your specific case, the acceleration method used (AcceleDent or Propel), and how consistently you follow your treatment plan. Our doctors will give you a realistic timeline during your complimentary smile assessment.

Does AcceleDent or Propel hurt?

Both options are designed to be gentle. AcceleDent uses light micropulse vibrations that many patients and families find soothing, and some report reduced soreness during tooth movement. Propel is a brief in-office procedure that most patients tolerate very well, with only minimal discomfort during and after.

Can accelerated orthodontics be used with Invisalign?

Yes. Both AcceleDent and Propel are compatible with Invisalign clear aligners as well as traditional and clear braces. If you’re a candidate for Invisalign and want faster progress, our doctors can discuss whether adding an acceleration option makes sense for your case. Learn more on our Invisalign and braces service pages.

How long does treatment take with acceleration?

Treatment length varies based on the complexity of your case. Traditional orthodontic treatment often takes 12 to 24 months, and acceleration can shorten that window meaningfully for many patients. Some patients complete treatment in a matter of months rather than years.

Is accelerated orthodontics covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your specific plan. We accept most major insurance plans and offer interest-free and flexible payment options to make treatment work for your budget. Our team will review your benefits during your smile assessment and walk you through your financing choices.
