A new orthodontic treatment called propel is proven to be up to 50% faster, cutting the time you wear your braces nearly in half. For most parents and teenagers this is very desirable. Knowing you might only have to wear your braces for 9-12 months is a relief

Propel – New Procedure Up To 50% Faster
We’re excited to announce the addition of a new procedure we are implementing by Propel Ortho, which will
reduce the treatment period to nearly half . Many of our patients (and parents) are concerned about the length
of time they will be wearing braces, or using Invisalign; and now we can provide a much f aster, and ef f ective
procedure.
A world renown doctor named Orhan Tuncay’s pioneering research in this f ield and subsequent studies f rom
other researchers have shown that the rate of tooth movement may be accelerated by af f ecting the bone and
gum tissues f or f aster remodeling. The challenge to orthodontists has been how to accelerate the gum tissue
and bone remodeling process to eliminate longer treatment times of up to 24 months.
Micro-osteoperf orations perf ormed using a new device and technique called the PROPEL® System can be
used to accelerate treatment. Because it is only micro-invasive, it can be perf ormed in a matter of just a f ew
minutes in the of f ice.
The procedure is nearly painless to the patient with virtually no recovery time. Micro-osteoperf oration has
been shown to move teeth more than 50% faster than traditional orthodontics alone.
It is very ef f ective with Invisalign allowing the patient to go f rom 2 weeks per aligner to 1 week per aligner.
