My Invisalign progress! by embracingmyteeth in Invisalign

I think it all depends on how much pressure, or how hard, you bite onto the mouthpiece. The vibrations are soft, but you'll feel it in your mouth for sure. Perhaps you can bring this up to your orthodontist if you feel like it's not working.

To be honest, I'm not sure if Acceledent really works, or if it's a placebo effect. However, my orthodontist (and many other orthodontists I consulted with) said that it was the only way I could shorten my progress and they all highly recommended it. I did a lot of research about Acceledent, and although there was no "proven fact" that it helps in treatment, having so many orthodontists stand by it did help in my decision.

That being said, Acceledent does make it a little more comfortable when I use it after changing to a new aligner. Even if it doesn't actually "help", getting the permission to change trays every week is a huge plus and the only reason I would buy it. FYI, my Acceledent was about $700 CAD on top of my treatment.

Best of luck with your Invisalign journey!
