Is this for real?! Sounds too good to be true, but thatâ€™s technology for ya!

OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc., out of Huston, Tx, has created a vibration device to promote faster natural bone remodeling for patients who wear braces or Invisalign. The gentle vibration actually accelerates the cellular signals to the bone. Similar technology has been used to advance healing in long bones. Patients say that the vibration kind of tickles!

Scientists hope to reduce the standard two-year treatment time for orthodontic braces with this new and innovative technology.

Aint these vibrations also capable of causing unwanted changes in the bone like in its blood supply because there have been reports that vibrations cause some defects in RBCs?

this looks like a promising technology. the vibrations are for a short time only.

the long treatment time of orthdontics demotivates many patients and anything which reduces the treatment time is welcome.

like any other technology its effect will be cumulative and not displacive. so it has to be used keeping in mind its limitations which will come to fore only after some time .
