INTRODUCING ORTHOPULSE®
Better outcomes, every patient, every time
Implementing OrthoPulse® in your practice offers numerous benefits that can enhance both patient outcomes and practice efficiency.
- Improved predictability – More accurate results
- High quality care – High patient satisfaction.
- Decreased number of appointments needed - Reduced chair time
BENEFITS
Clinical Evidence
Studies have shown that OrthoPulse® can help with improving predictability of aligner treatment, as well as significantly reduce treatment discomfort.
Improved predictability
Studies have shown that using OrthoPulse® improves the predictability of clear aligner treatments, reducing the number of finishing aligners required and leading to faster, more accurate results.
High quality care
By accelerating tooth movement, OrthoPulse® can also decrease the number of appointments needed, reduce chair time, and optimize overall practice efficiency.
Shorter Treatment time
A comfortable treatment that can help reduce discomfort associated with orthodontic treatment.

- Systematic review: OrthoPulse® accelerates tooth movement in alignment procedures and reduces treatment time.3
- 54% reduction in time to achieve anterior alignment as well as a two-fold faster rate of tooth movement.4
- Highest tooth movement efficacy among three groups with the shortest wear duration confirming reduced treatment time when using OrthoPulse®.5
- Faster rate of alignment for OrthoPulse® as compared to the control group (mean rate of change in LII was 0.49 and 1.12 mm/week for the control and test groups, respectively.6
- Reduced treatment time for alignment for OrthoPulse® subjects in 48 days versus control at 104 days.7
- OrthoPulse® treatment resulted in 1.7x more rapid maxillary anterior alignment.8
- Invisalign® treatment originally planned for 92 weeks (46 sets of Aligners) was completed in six months.9
- 40% shorter treatment time for Invisalign treatment with OrthoPulse®.2
