The present invention concerns an orthodontic appliance for accelerating
the tooth aligning effect and shortening the treatment period, and has an
object to provide an appliance which can bring about higher aligning
effect than usual ways by giving vibration to tooth to be aligned to
activate bone remodeling of the targeted tooth and the alveolar bone and
enhance the shift of the tooth. This appliance includes a vibrating
element and a dental mouthpiece having the vibrating element built
therein. The provision of the vibrating element in the dental mouthpiece
facilitates the application of vibration and handling, and continues the
treatment safely even at home. The inner shape of the dental mouthpiece
serves aligning treatment as well as acceleration of the effect.
