NEW YORK, NY – February 7, 2013 – PROPEL Orthodontics, the developer of innovative orthodontic devices and techniques which dramatically accelerate the rate at which teeth are moved during orthodontic treatment was featured on a special segment of ABC Health News that aired on Wednesday, February 7, 2013.
The segment featured New York University College of Dentistry researcher and Chair of the Orthodontic Department, Dr. Cristina Teixeira, who explained how PROPEL is revolutionizing the field of orthodontics. During the broadcast she was quoted as saying, “I think this is the future of orthodontics. The challenge is to move teeth safer and faster and this technique addresses all of these issues.”
The PROPEL System is a simple 3 step in-office procedure that is performed in minutes. The PROPEL System is a patented treatment which uses Alveocentesis to stimulate alveolar bone in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. This stimulation increases cytokine activity leading to faster bone remodeling and translates into reduced treatment time by 60 percent or more. In addition, doctors can use PROPEL to increase predictability of tooth movements, improve finishes in braces, and eliminate the need for refinement with Invisalign.
Two of NYU’s patients who are receiving the PROPEL treatment were featured during the program; a high school student and a 34 yr. old mother who are excited to complete their treatment in half the time. The mother also shared her excitement that her daughter will be going into braces soon and she will receive the PROPEL treatment as well.
