AccleDent

Does anyone have any experience with this device? Is it a gimmick, or does it actually work to reduce treatment time?

I actually bought a second-hand one, (because I was a bit skeptic), and was pretty impressed with the results. My original quote for treatment was 18-24 months (ceramic on top, metal on bottom), and I should (emphasis on should ...) get them off by April, which will be the 12 month marker. I actually stopped using the Acceledent the past few months, just because I'm so close to being done and kept forgetting, but I actually noticed quicker results during the specific phases of my treatment (for example, my dentist told me it would take approx. 3 months to move my one tooth forward, and that took about 6 weeks with the Acceledent). Looking to sell mine if you're interested. All it really is, is a glorified electric toothbrush with a mouthpiece. I honestly thought that before I got it, wondering if I could just use my toothbrush haha ... The progress is def. worth it, but I don't think the technology is worth what they charge. Just taking advantage of a new market (and the fact that everyone f-ing hates braces haha!)

hey Lexana,
I am looking for an Acceledent unit. I'm located in the US. Are you selling yours now?
