FDA has cleared an OrthoAccel Technologies 510(k) for its AcceleDent Optima, an orthodontic device that directly connects patients and practices with usage monitoring, direct messaging and virtual rewards via the AcceleDent App, which can be downloaded from iTunes and Google Play. The third generation vibratory accelerated orthodontic device is smaller and lighter than previous models, and is able to connect with smartphones and tablets through Bluetooth connectivity. It is powered by the company’s SoftPulse technology, “producing pulsating forces clinically shown to stimulate cellular activity in orthodontic treatment and demonstrated to speed up bone remodeling,” the company says. “The prescription-only device speeds up treatment with braces or aligners by as much as 50% while reducing discomfort.”
