How are these short treatment times possible? Recent scientice advances have enhanced our understanding of how the bones grow and heal. As the hardest tissues in the body, bone changes very slowly. However, we’ve discovered that by softening the bone, using a minor periodontal procedure, accelerated remodeling is possible.
Is there any discomfort? Like convential orthodontics, most patients report only minor discomfort from the periodontal procedure. Even though the discomfort is usually minimal, we do sometimes see minor swelling and possibly some light bruising. They will go away over the first or second week.
Can this system work for me? The Wilckodontics Orthodontics System is ideal for the majority of orthodontic cases. Yet, Dr. Cercek is the best resource for this answer.
Can the system work for adults as well as adolescents? YES!
What’s the cost? Because there are additional procedures involved, you will find the Wilckodontics procedure more expensive than conventional orthodontics. When you consider the shortened treatment time, increased bone support for the teeth and lips, and a more stable periodontal situation, the expense is well worth it. Dr. Cercek will be happy to provide you with the estimated costs.
