This is why Disposable Retainers + Vibration = Straight Teeth FOREVER

Using high-frequency vibration in orthodontic retention

Retention can be a frustrating process for orthodontists and patients alike. Relapse occurs for many reasons, ranging from patients who don’t replace their broken retainers to those who are simply noncompliant. Studies have shown that 40 percent to 90 percent of orthodontic patients have unacceptable dental alignment 10 years after treatment.1 Based on these statistics, there’s certainly room for improvement in this important aspect of orthodontic treatment. Therefore, when choosing our retention strategy and appliance, basing it on the individual and retention science can contribute to preserving a lasting and stable occlusion.

One of the reasons retention is difficult to maintain is because of the length of time it takes for the teeth to be adequately “settled” in their new positions. Pratt et al. noted that while retention varies based on tissue types, generally reorganization of the periodontal ligament occurs over three to four months, the gingival collagen–fiber network takes approximately four to six months to remodel, and the elastic supracrestal fibers remain deviated for more than seven months. The article notes that this reorganization phase is completed usually within a year of debonding.1

Bone-density changes occur during and after orthodontic treatment, as well. Yu et al. noted a 23 percent reduction in bone-mineral density around treated teeth after a seven-month period of active orthodontic treatment. After a two-year retention period, most patients’ alveolar bone density recovered; however, bone density around approximately 10 percent of teeth failed to recover to even 80 percent of its pretreatment state.2 This stresses the importance of the second phase: post-retention, lasting for the rest of the patient’s life.

What Is OrthoVibe?

OrthoVibe is the new, simple, and affordable Orthodontic vibrating device and app, designed by an orthodontist, to help patients just like you.

orthovibe

OrthoVibe was created to do 3 simple things:

1) Reduce tooth soreness during braces or clear Aligner treatment

2) Fully seat your clear retainer or clear Aligner for maximum effect

3) Realign your teeth back into an existing retainer (if you’ve forgotten to wear it for a short period of time)

We know you’re probably going to forget to wear your retainer in the future. It’s just human nature. And then… SHIFT HAPPENS. Don’t let it happen to you. Straight teeth should last a lifetime, not just one time – so purchase your OrthoVibe today. It’s the best device you can have to keep teeth straight FOREVER.

Simply download the OrthoVibe app*, connect the suction cup on your OrthoVibe to your mobile device, place your retainer on your teeth, bite down gently on the OrthoVibe device, and press the “Lets Vibe” button on the app. A countdown timer will keep track of your time and stop when your time is up.

Our recommendation is to use OrthoVibe for 10-20 minutes a day to:

– reduce tooth soreness during Orthodontic treatment

– fully seat your clear retainer or Clear Aligner

– realign your teeth into an existing retainer (which may require 2 weeks or more of daily wear)
