How to Help Your Teeth Move Faster During Orthodontic Treatment

Let’s be honest — nobody wants their treatment to drag on longer than it needs to. While we can’t force biology to hurry, there are intelligent approaches and tools that may safely accelerate your orthodontic or Invisalign journey.

What can speed up orthodontic treatment and how to teeth moving faster?

Clinically Supported Ways to Accelerate Tooth Movement

Use AcceleDent Optima
One of the more proven methods is AcceleDent Optima, an FDA-cleared device that uses gentle vibrations to stimulate bone remodeling. According to studies and clinical usage, it can potentially speed up tooth movement by up to 50%, allowing aligners to be changed weekly instead of every two weeks..
Maintain 100% Wear Compliance
Your aligners must be worn 20–22 hours a day (only removed for eating, brushing, and flossing). Skipping hours or removing them too often slows progress significantly.
Keep Your Oral Health Spotless
Inflammation and bacterial buildup can delay movement. Brush carefully around attachments, floss daily, and attend hygiene appointments to keep gums healthy and responsive.
Follow Your Check-in Appointments Diligently
These appointments allow your dentist to monitor progress, make small adjustments, or issue refinements. Staying on schedule keeps your treatment on track.

What to Avoid (Because They Can Hinder Speed)

Skipping prescribed devices like AcceleDent
Poor oral hygiene that leads to gingival swelling
Inconsistency in wearing aligners
Ignoring your dentist’s check-ups or adjustment sessions

Is Speeding Up Safe?

TAny acceleration method should be used under your dentist's supervision. Overdoing forces or skipping planned steps can backfire — causing root problems, bone issues, or unpredictability in tooth movement. The goal is to optimise, not compromise.
