Abstract:
The commercialization of university-developed technology is described in this paper, which is predicated on the application of pulsating, low magnitude forces (cyclic forces) to the teeth and surrounding bone as a means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. The resulting product is a compact device with an external activator that houses the electrical, mechanical, and energy components that apply cyclical mechanical forces to a mouthpiece that is put in a patient’s mouth.
