Recent scientific advances have enhanced our understanding of healing and bone growth. Although bone is one of the hardest tissues in the body, it is very much alive. Because of its dense nature, bone changes very slowly. These changes in bone are called the ‘remodeling process’. By perfuming a minor periodontal procedure, this dense bone is softened, accelerating the remodeling process.
It is the process of accelerated bone remodeling that sets Brief Braces™ apart from conventional orthodontics. This softened supporting bone permits the teeth to move into their new position much more quickly. Routine braces and other appliances are still needed to actually move the teeth.
Once in position, the teeth are simply held in place while the supporting bone hardens around the teeth. Complete healing of the newly remodeled bone occurs in approximately 8 months. Brief Braces™ offers the patient a beautiful, long lasting smile, in the shortest time possible.
