How does AcceleDent work?

Have you ever wondered how your orthodontist can get teeth to move through bones to create a new smile? Well, when force is applied to your teeth, it causes bone cells to mobilize around the root of the tooth, allowing it to move through the bone. Your braces create a force strong enough to move your teeth into position with each adjustment.

To help your teeth move faster, Dr. Campbell has introduced a new orthodontic appliance called AcceleDent to work with your treatment plan. Stimulating the roots of your teeth with a gentle force, AcceleDent works with your braces to speed up your treatment time.

For approximately 20 minutes, lightly hold AcceleDent between your teeth while it pulses. This vibration encourages the movement of your teeth through the bone, creating a better, faster patient experience.

Meet Dr. Campbell

1        When did you first decide to become an orthodontist?
I first decided to become an orthodontist in high school when I myself had braces.  My orthodontist “planted a seed” in my head that orthodontics was something I may want to pursue.

2        What is the best part of your day?
The best part of my day is then morning time when I am putting on full sets of braces.  It is challenging to put the braces on in the exact right spot and makes me feel like I am setting the foundation for a great orthodontic case.

3        Did you wear braces growing up? If yes, describe your experience.
I did wear braces for about 28 months.  I had an impacted canine in my palate (which is something I see every day in my practice now) that needed to be surgically uncovered so that the orthodontist could move it to the proper position.

4        What is your favorite movie of all time and why?
My favorite movie of all time is probably Star Wars: Episode V, the Empire Strikes Back…I don’t think I can explain why I like it so much, I just do!  I’ve probably seen it 50 times or so!

5        Do you have any pets?
My family has a small dog…a miniature dachshund.  He is black and tan and his name is Leroy.

6        What is your favorite hobby?
I have two favorite hobbies:  golf and snow skiing.

7        Give us three words to describe your family.
Three words to describe my family… hmmmmm:    “Small but smiling!”

8        Would you share a random fact about yourself?
I stopped wearing a watch about 6 months ago…now I always find myself asking my wife what time it is.

9        Name something about the William H Craig Race for Life that people should know.
The William H. Craig Race for Life is a fun, low-key, family friendly 5k run that is great for first timers and seasoned runners.

10     What is your favorite spot in Wilmington to visit?
I would probably have to say that my current favorite spot (and most frequently visited) is the Cheer Infinity cheer gym.  My daughter has really taken to competitive cheering and, because of that, I find myself there often!

Why Age 7 is the Right Time to See an Orthodontist.

While your child's teeth might appear to be straight, there may actually be a problem that needs to be evaluated by an orthodontist.  If you recognize any of the following issues with your child, please schedule a check-up with our office.  It may be one of the most important actions you can take to ensure your child's healthy and happy smile. 

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty in chewing or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Jaws that shift or make sounds
• Speech difficulties
• Biting the cheek or the roof of the mouth
• Facial imbalance
• Grinding or clenching of the teeth
• Thumb or finger sucking
