Propel Orthodontics in Houston, TX

Our office in Houston, TX practices propel orthodontics in order to offer more advanced options for your treatment. Propel Orthodontics is the maker of the Propel System, which uses a patented instrument to reduce orthodontic treatment time by 5-60 percent or more. Like Wilckodontics, Propel works by modifying the bone around the teeth so that the braces can move the teeth more easily. Unlike Wilckodontics, however, Propel achieves this without the need for surgery. Here is more about Propel, what it offers and who can receive it from our Houston Propel orthodontics dentist:

How the Propel System works

Our orthodontist uses Propel to make tiny perforations in the bone tissue surrounding the teeth, resulting in a localized boost in blood flow and cytokines. Afterwards, the tissues remodel more readily in response to the chosen orthodontics. This means that results manifest far more quickly than they normally would.

Propel orthodontics

Propel takes only minutes at our office, where our Propel orthodontist in Houston determines the right locations around the teeth for the best results. The localized action of Propel allows for targeted enhancement of movement, which can be highly useful for specific teeth that need major correction. Depending on the patient, one or more Propel sessions may be required. The fact that no surgery is involved means that patients can continue their daily routine after receiving Propel with no concerns about recovery.

Candidates for Propel orthodontics

Researchers have estimated that about 80 percent of orthodontic patients are eligible for Propel orthodontic treatment. Virtually all orthodontic treatments, including conventional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, Invisalign, and TADS, can be used in conjunction with Propel. The best candidates for this procedure will be patients who are eager to start enjoying their new smile as soon as possible.

Benefits of Propel orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment offers myriad benefits to patients, but the time investment can be considerable. Thanks to Propel, more patients may consider receiving braces and reaping its rewards, which includes a better-looking smile, enhanced comfort, and improved oral health. Cutting down the orthodontic treatment timeline, without needing surgery or recovery makes Propel a convenient option for most orthodontic patients. During their consultation with our provider of Propel orthodontics in Houston at Antoine Dental Center, patients can find out if Propel is the right choice for them.

How much does Propel orthodontics cost?
