Thinking about braces? Work with a periodontist from the start.
Orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign create constant pressure on your teeth. This can lead to inflammation, bone loss, and gum recession. Our periodontists have 3 years of specialized training in bone, gum, and supporting tissue. Dr. Hansen regularly partners with orthodontists to limit the risk of damage to gums, soft tissue, and bone.
What is accelerated orthodontics?
Accelerated ortho, also known as Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT), is the process of carefully manipulating your gums and bones to stimulate bone growth.
These adjustments to your gums and bones allow your teeth to move more quickly into their desired positions. Research suggests accelerated orthodontics can make your orthodontic treatment 2 to 3 times faster!
SFOT not only makes orthodontic treatments faster and easier, it also delivers better results. It limits gum recession and prevents post-orthodontic shifting or relapse of your teeth.
This process requires seamless communication and teamwork between both a skilled periodontist and orthodontist. Our doctors have great relationships with many orthodontists in the area and enjoy every opportunity to work together for the benefit of our patients.
