An Edmonton orthodontist’s accidental discovery has led to a new ultrasound device that promises to: 1) speed orthodontic treatment; and 2) reduce the risk of root damage. Health Canada has reviewed the clinical studies and has approved the invention for faster treatment with both traditional braces and clear aligners (brands include Clearline and Invisalign). The quicker and safer treatment reportedly is achieved with 20-minute daily home treatments. Ultrasound orthodontics has become a recommended option for non-surgical accelerated orthodontics.
