Do vibrating or light emitting devices move teeth faster?
I am often asked this question on new devices that promise faster movement of the teeth which should result in shorter treatment times.
The current unbiased research (in other words, research that is not paid for by the manufacturer of these devices!) doesn’t support any claims of shorter treatment times. So if you have a friend who claims their teeth are moving faster because of using one of these devices or a dentist or orthodontist claims they will accelerate treatment, the research does not back up any of these claims. If it did you can be sure we would use them at Elite Smiles plus are there any long term (haven’t studied) negative consequences of using them, we don’t know.
