Description

Andrea Vitores-Calero, Vanessa Paredes-Gallardo, and eight co-authors checked if a vibrating mouth device heats the mouth, in work from twenty twenty-five. The device, AcceleDent, is sold to speed tooth movement with clear aligners. Backers say it stirs cells and bone. Heat was the key test here: if the device warms tissue, that might help explain its effects, or raise safety flags.

Twenty-two adults in aligner care wore the device on and off on two days. A heat camera read gum and tooth surfaces after each use. No gap in heat showed up between the on and off days, at rest or after use. The team calls the device safe on heat grounds.
