"Accelerated orthodontics with AcceleDent is a win-win solution for both patients and orthodontists," said Dr. Manal Ibrahim, a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and owner of Innovative Orthodontic Centers in Chicago, Naperville and Shorewood, Ill. "Patients are concerned about length of treatment and discomfort and, as their doctor, I'm focused on accelerating treatment as fast as possible to reduce the likelihood of health challenges posed by prolonged orthodontic treatment such as caries, periodontal disease and root resorption."

Heightened awareness and rapid growth has placed a greater emphasis on accelerated orthodontics as the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) opens its annual session this week in New Orleans, with orthodontists expected to gain a greater understanding of the benefits of incorporating AcceleDent into their current treatment modalities.
"We've conducted market research that shows patients are three times more willing to pay for accelerated orthodontic treatment than expected by orthodontists, yet seven out of 10 patients are not offered accelerated treatment," said Michael K. Lowe, OrthoAccel's president and CEO. "As the sole provider of an FDA-cleared device that accelerates orthodontic treatment, we recognize our responsibility to show orthodontists and treatment coordinators how they can grow their practices and improve their economics by offering AcceleDent and achieving a faster treatment completion rate. We have a strong story to tell and that's what we'll be doing during the AAO this year."

The first major orthodontic breakthrough innovation in 15 years, AcceleDent's timely rapid market adoption is optimal as the orthodontic industry is in an overall growth phase with a 20 percent increase in patients since 2010, according to statistics from the AAO. In addition, AAO states that adults are a rapidly growing patient segment.
