THE STRAIGHTFORWARD SOLUTION

Propel’s Excelleration drivers are used to create Micro-Osteoperforations (MOPs). MOPs harness the body’s own biology to shorten treatment time and increase treatment predictability.1 Propel works with any type of orthodontic appliance, either fixed or removable. This micro-invasive treatment can be performed in minutes by the treating clinician during the patient’s regularly scheduled office visit.1 Nicozisis, J. (2013) Accelerated tooth movement technology.

THE SCIENCE TO BEAUTIFUL TEETH

How does Propel affect the movement of teeth?

MOPs created by the Excelleration drivers cause a localized inflammatory response where there is an increase in blood flow causing a dramatic cytokine release. By increasing the cytokines in the area of desired tooth movement, bone remodeling activity greatly increases, and therefore, the rate of tooth movement increases as well.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Proactive

• Accelerate overall treatment

• Treatment plan for rate limiting teeth

• Pre-restorative set-ups

Reactive

• Release stubborn movements

• Increase predictability in non-compliant patients

• Expedite movements during the finishing phase

PROPEL IN PRACTICE

Applying it to the Bottom Line

Faster treatment time means reducing overall chair time which translates to increased profitability per patient visit.2 Releasing any challenging movements to avoid going over the expected treatment time results in greater patient satisfaction. Propel provides a unique marketing opportunity to provide patients with the solutions they want and the cutting edge technology they expect.2 Nicozisis, J. (2013) Accelerated tooth movement technology. OrthoTown

WHAT INDUSTRY LEADERS ARE SAYING …

“Micro-Osteoperforations can increase the rate of canine retraction by more than 2-fold…”

- Mani Alikhani, DMD, MS, D. Sc.American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, November 2013

“Virtually all orthodontic movements can be accelerated with Propel alveolar Micro- Osteoperforation. Even some of the most frustrating and predictably difficult inefficient orthodontic movements are made predictable and faster.”

-John Pobanz, DDS, MSOrthoTown Magazine, May 2013

“Propel caused an increase in the cytokine levels, which in turn led to an increase in the rate of bone remodeling, allowing the teeth to move faster. The result was a comfortable healthy accelerated tooth movement.”

-Ben Miraglia, DDSAmerican Academy of Cosmetic Orthodontics: The Journal, Summer 2013
