Reduce Time in Braces

Many people want a straighter smile, but often avoid seeking orthodontic care due to lengthy treatment times of wearing dental braces. Wilckodontics®, or Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AAO)™, is an advanced orthodontic system that offers a straighter smile in a fraction of the time. Ideal for adults in professional positions, those who work in the public eye and high school-aged patients, Wilckodontics® works up to three to four times faster than traditional dental braces. In fact, typical treatment time with AAO™ ranges from three to eight months. Patients of any age may be candidates for Wilckodontics®, provided that the permanent teeth have fully erupted.

How Does the Wilckodontics® System Work?

AAO™ focuses on rapid tooth movement by augmenting the bone surrounding the teeth, guiding tooth movement in a very specific way. Many of the components are the same as those used in traditional orthodontics. For instance, brackets and wires are still used to reposition the teeth. The difference between Wilckodontics® and traditional orthodontics, however, lies in focusing on how bone responds to tooth movement rather than the manner in which the teeth are moved. Wilckodontics® treatment begins by removing a portion of the bone’s external surface, causing the bone to enter a process of breaking down and rebuilding. During this phase the bone is “softer,” allowing teeth to move with greater ease through the bone and facilitating rapid tooth repositioning.
Benefits of Wilckodontics®:

  • Straightens teeth
  • Corrects bite misalignment
  • Treats a wide range of patients
