Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus to improve and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and alveolar bone apposition and resorption, constituted of a device providing biocompatible contact anode in contact with gingival epithelia at the area of osteoclastic activity, and biocompatible contact cathode in contact with gingival epithelia at the area of osteoblastic activity, arranged to apply electric current across the anode and the cathode to stimulate alveolar bone remodeling. The method and apparatus provide for an electronic circuit that is pre-programmed via wireless communication to adjust the electric current magnitude and time duration so as to enhance tooth movement, oseteogenesis, and osteoclasia.
