Is the length of treatment time holding you back from achieving your dream smile? If so, Wilckodontics may be for you. Using a combination of surgery and traditional orthodontics, you can get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted sooner than you ever thought possible.

How does Wilckodontics work?

Wilckodontics, also known as Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AOO), begins with a minimally invasive surgical procedure, usually done under general anesthesia, to remove a small portion of your alveolar bone’s external surface.

The alveolar bone is the bone that contains your tooth sockets. For a short period of time, the bone’s mineral content will be decreased, allowing your braces to quickly move your teeth into their desired positions.

Teeth can be moved approximately four times faster, meaning a total treatment time of three to eight months!

Is Wilckodontics safe?

Yes! The process used to demineralize bone has been used for the past 100 years in the orthopedic field and has recently been modified to help straighten teeth. Of course, undergoing any kind of surgery has risks, so be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor.

Is Wilckodontics right for me?

AOO can be done at any age as long as all your permanent teeth are present and you have a healthy bone structure.
