ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance in the form of a vibrational pad is provided. The pad is held in place in the mouth of the patient by an external head gear. A vibrational electric motor is mounted on the head gear, and the motor is mechanically coupled to vibrational elements within the mouth pad. The mouth pad is used in conjunction with conventional orthodontic appliances, and it serves to vibrate the teeth being moved by the conventional orthodontic appliances so as to disseminate heavy orthodontic pressures of the conventional appliance to a larger boney mass resulting in lighter more physiological pressure in a larger area. This will increase the speed and efficiency of the orthodontic movement, minimize pain to the patient, and reduce root resorption and horizontal bone loss.
