Also known as Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AOO) ™, Wilckodontics™ is a relatively new technique designed to dramatically increase the rate of tooth movement. During the procedure, some of the supporting bone is removed. As new bone starts to mineralize, braces can move the teeth rapidly. This is because the bone is soft and there is less resistance to the force of braces. Research has shown that treatment results are as stable and long-term as that of conventional braces treatment. Wilckodontics offers a much shorter treatment time, which generally averages between three to nine months. Dr. Lowe was trained in the latest Wilckodontics techniques and Wilckodontics was a large part of his Masters Thesis.
