Abstract
A faster method of orthodontic remodeling for a patient wearing a vibrating orthodontic remodeling device for about 20 minutes a day to accelerated tooth movement is described. The vibrating orthodontic remodeling device has an extraoral housing containing a power source operably coupled to an actuator that is operably coupled to a processor that controls the actuator, and is connected to an intraoral U-shaped bite plate. The device is held in place during use by the teeth clamping on the bite plate.
