If you’re looking for a faster way to straighten your teeth, accelerated orthodontics may be a great option. At San Marcos Orthodontics, we offer the AcceleDent Aura™ System to help increase the rate of tooth movement and potentially reduce overall treatment time by up to 50% when used with Invisalign® or a conventional fixed orthodontic appliance.
AcceleDent Aura™ is light, comfortable, hands-free, and designed to fit into your daily routine. Most patients use it for just 20 minutes per day while doing everyday activities like reading, watching TV, listening to music, or completing schoolwork.
AcceleDent Aura™ System
The AcceleDent Aura™ System is an orthodontic device designed to support accelerated tooth movement during treatment. It is used alongside clear aligners or braces to help improve efficiency while maintaining comfort.
It is especially appealing for patients who want to shorten their orthodontic timeline without compromising the look or effectiveness of treatment.
What Are the Benefits of AcceleDent Aura™?
Many patients choose AcceleDent because it is simple to use and easy to incorporate into a busy schedule. Some key benefits include:
- Accelerated tooth movement without compromising aesthetics
- Compatible with all types of braces and Invisalign® for both adults and teens
- Lightweight for comfortable daily use
- Hands-free design, allowing you to continue normal activities during use
How Does AcceleDent Aura™ Work?
AcceleDent Aura™ uses patented technology to apply gentle vibrations to the teeth and surrounding bone. You use the device daily for 20 minutes.
In a controlled clinical trial, these vibrations have been shown to accelerate tooth movement by approximately 38% to 50%. This can help keep treatment moving efficiently, especially when consistent progress is important.
Why Are Microvibrations Important During Orthodontic Treatment?
The speed of tooth movement depends heavily on how quickly the bone surrounding the teeth responds and remodels during orthodontic force.
Studies have shown that orthodontic force combined with microvibrations (such as those generated by the AcceleDent Aura™ System) can safely accelerate tooth movement by supporting this natural biological process.
Is AcceleDent Aura™ Safe?
Yes. AcceleDent Aura™ is an FDA-cleared, Class II medical device. It has been demonstrated to be safe and reliable in U.S. clinical trials.
If you have questions about whether AcceleDent is appropriate for your case, our team can review your treatment plan and explain what options make the most sense for your smile goals.
Does AcceleDent Aura™ Cause Discomfort?
No. AcceleDent Aura™ is well tolerated by most patients. In fact, it may help reduce discomfort associated with orthodontic treatment.
Because the device uses gentle vibrations and does not apply harsh pressure, many patients find it comfortable and easy to use consistently.
Can Adults and Teens Use AcceleDent Aura™?
Yes. AcceleDent Aura™ can be used by both teens and adults, provided it is recommended as part of their orthodontic plan. It is compatible with:
- Invisalign®
- Conventional fixed orthodontic appliances (braces)
This makes it a flexible option for patients who want to stay on track and potentially finish treatment sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accelerated orthodontics is a great option for patients who want to stay on track and potentially finish treatment sooner. Below are some of the most common questions we hear.
Do I Have To Use AcceleDent Every Day For It To Work?
Yes. Consistency is key. AcceleDent is designed to be used daily as part of your orthodontic routine. Skipping days can reduce its potential benefits and slow progress.
Can AcceleDent Help If My Teeth Are Not Tracking With Invisalign?
In some cases, yes. If aligners aren’t fitting properly or teeth are moving slower than expected, AcceleDent may help support more predictable movement. Your orthodontist will determine whether it makes sense for your situation.
Can I Use AcceleDent If I Have Crowns, Fillings, Or Dental Work?
Usually yes. Most common dental restorations do not prevent AcceleDent use, but it’s important to let your orthodontist know about any dental work so your treatment plan can be evaluated properly.
When Will I Start Seeing Results With Accelerated Orthodontics?
Some patients notice progress sooner than expected, but results vary. Your timeline depends on factors like bite complexity, age, treatment type (braces vs aligners), and how consistently you follow instructions.
Is AcceleDent A Replacement For Braces Or Invisalign?
No. AcceleDent does not straighten teeth on its own. It is an add-on device that supports orthodontic treatment by helping tooth movement progress more efficiently.
