Wilckodontics, also known as Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics, involves a periodontal procedure combined with orthodontics to reach end results of straight teeth 3 to 4 times faster than conventional orthodontic treatment.

Wilckodontics is considered a more efficient orthodontic treatment, as short as 6-8 months, with more stable results. This treatment is available for teens and adults. Any type of bracket system can be used with this technique (metal, ceramic, Incognito (lingual) and speed braces).

Pros and Cons of Wilckodontics:

Pros:

• Shortened treatment time (3-4 times)
• Decreased chance of root resorption following orthodontics
• Increased Alveolar bone providing better support for your teeth and facial profile
• Less likelihood for relapse
• You can choose from metal, ceramic, or gold brackets, or even Invisalign.
• Since teeth are moving through a softened bone, there is less discomfort associated with teeth movement (following each orthodontic adjustment) compared to traditional orthodontics.

Cons:

• More expensive than conventional braces
• Being a mildly invasive surgery, it has its risks
• Expect some swelling and tenderness immediately after surgery
• Need to recover for a week and must stay away from school or work.
