Pros and Cons of Accelerated Orthodontics


Advantages and disadvantages of accelerated orthodontics

Advantages of accelerated orthodontics
The biggest advantage is the three to eight months it takes to have a great smile, versus one to three years with traditional braces. Your teeth are assisted in moving faster with little loss of either root or bone support as with previous methods.

Disadvantages of accelerated orthodontics
If crowding is an issue, your teeth will need to be altered and "slimmed down" to create the needed room. Accelerated orthodontics is relatively new and requires special training for the doctors. This may make it difficult to find a doctor who has been trained in accelerated orthodontics until the procedure becomes more common.
