Is AcceleDent safe?

Acceledent is FDA approved as a class II medical device.  Years of retrospective studies were needed to get that status showing the product is safe and affective.  I have reviewed the device for the American Academy of Cosmetic Orthodontics and as I stated in the review... The device when used in conjunction with light force orthodontics ie. Invisalign, is completely safe and miraculous in my opinion. i have personally completed over 100 cases with acceledent and it has been shown in my practice to work wonders, increase case success, and deliver quicker healthier straighter teeth and ultimately happier patients.

Having done several hundred cases with Acceledent®, I can attest to it's safety and effectiveness. Unlike other appliances out there with claims of faster treatment as a benefit, safe acceleration of tooth movement is the entire basis for FDA approval. Quite simply, if the claims weren't proven, the product wouldn't exist as an FDA approved device in the market. I don't get why the orthodontists you mentioned won't recommend it or say it is not proven, other than not wanting to purchase and stock an expensive product (it retails at ~$1000 USD). It certainly doesn't make teeth fall out faster. We are very clear on the biologic effect of Acceledent and it actually would make teeth less likely to fall out (the same technology has been in existence as an osteoporosis treatment for decades). I have actually used it on quite a number of patients with severe bone loss specifically to make tooth movement healthier for them. There are numerous studies coming out now that are more clearly elucidating how this and similar appliances actually make tooth movement healthier in general.
