Do you want straighter teeth, but dread wearing braces for years? Accelerated orthodontic devices, using high-frequency vibration to accelerate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement, are your answer. The VPro+ device by Propel is an FDA and Health Canada approved medical device designed to complement your braces or aligners. This waterproof device is highly portable and the short treatment time is designed to fit easily into your busy lifestyle. You simply bite on a mouthpiece with gentle pressure. It only needs to be used for 5 minutes a day.

High-frequency vibration can be used during braces and Invisalign treatment to reduce overall treatment duration and relieve discomfort.  Mississauga Orthodontics and Six Points Orthodontics are proud to offer one of the latest advancements in accelerated orthodontic treatment with the VPro+. The Vpro+ device delivers gentle vibrations to ensure the best biologic response to your orthodontic appliances.

How Does It Work?

The biggest factor that affects how fast your teeth move into their new positions is the rate of bone remodeling. High-frequency vibration induces an inflammatory response, increasing blood circulation to the area. The cells that cause this inflammation are involved in the breakdown of bone. As braces or aligners exert gentle, steady pressure on teeth, the bone starts breaking down and rebuilding itself, which is known as remodeling. High-frequency vibration allows for increased bone remodeling around the roots of the teeth that are to be moved. The faster bone remodels, the faster the teeth are able to move!

Are There Any Other Benefits?

High-frequency vibration can lead to many orthodontic benefits:
  • Reduced Treatment Time By Up To 64%
  • Efficient Tooth Movement
  • Reduced Discomfort
  • Improved Predictability
  • Optimal Aligner Seating
  • Clinically Proven To Increase Bone Density in the Retention Phase
