Wilckodontics®
Wilckodontics® combines orthodontic treatment with a periodontal procedure designed to temporarily facilitate tooth movement. In selected patients, treatment may progress faster than with conventional orthodontics.

Compress a 2-year orthodontic sentence down to just 6 to 8 months. Advanced bone biology combined with periodontal precision in Lower Manhattan.
The short answer
Wilckodontics® compresses years of orthodontic treatment into 6 to 8 months by working with your bone biology, not against it. A precise periodontal procedure stimulates the bone around your teeth, letting them move 3 to 4 times faster than with braces alone. For adults who want their smile straightened fast \u2014 without years of braces \u2014 it\u2019s worth a conversation.
The primary obstacle for busy adults seeking a perfectly aligned smile is the long timeline required by traditional braces. Wilckodontics® (Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™) leverages natural bone metabolism. By performing a gentle periodontal procedure that temporarily softens surrounding bone tissue, teeth glide rapidly into place in 6 to 8 months rather than 2 years.
Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™ (AOO) combines orthodontic treatment with a periodontal procedure that may shorten treatment time in selected cases.
A minimally invasive periodontal procedure temporarily softens surrounding bone tissue to allow rapid tooth movement.
Bone grafting may be incorporated into the procedure when indicated to support the surrounding bone and periodontal treatment plan.
Orthodontic force design and periodontal surgical execution are seamlessly performed together under one roof.
Wilckodontics® combines orthodontic treatment with a periodontal procedure designed to temporarily facilitate tooth movement. In selected patients, treatment may progress faster than with conventional orthodontics.
Conventional orthodontics moves teeth through controlled forces and gradual bone remodeling. Total treatment time depends on the bite, the amount of movement required, and individual response.
In selected cases, bone-grafting material may be incorporated into the periodontal plan. Whether augmentation is appropriate is determined through clinical examination and imaging.
High-definition 3D imaging maps bone density. Ceramic or metal brackets are placed on your teeth to initiate guidance.
Our periodontist gently activates surrounding bone under local anesthesia and applies mineralized bone graft material.
Bi-weekly orthodontic visits capitalize on the temporary metabolic window of rapid, gentle tooth movement.
Treatment length varies by case. After active orthodontic treatment, custom retainers are used to help maintain the new tooth positions.
Ask an adult why they haven't straightened their teeth and you rarely hear 'I don't want to.' You hear 'I can't do two years of this.' A wedding in eight months. A career move to a new city. Simply the feeling of being too old to spend another two years in braces. Wilckodontics was built for that objection. By pairing orthodontics with a precise periodontal procedure that temporarily activates the bone, teeth move three to four times faster — and a case that would take 18 to 24 months often finishes in 6 to 8.
The speed isn't a trick; it's biology. The gentle AOO procedure creates a temporary metabolic window — a few months where the bone around your teeth remodels faster — and bi-weekly adjustments keep the teeth gliding through it. When indicated, bone-grafting material is added during the procedure, which means the bone hardens around the new positions and the result is more stable long-term. Faster doesn't mean less solid. In this case, it means more solid.
The honest part: not every mouth is a candidate, and we'd rather tell you that in a consultation than promise speed we can't deliver. Candidacy depends on your periodontal health, bone support, and bite — evaluated by our orthodontist and periodontist together, under one roof. But if you're a healthy adult or teen who's been waiting for a reason to finally do this, 'it only takes months, not years' is a pretty good one.
Wilckodontics® combines orthodontic treatment with a periodontal surgical approach. Candidacy, risks, benefits, and alternatives should be reviewed during an orthodontic and periodontal evaluation.
Treatment may be faster than conventional orthodontics for selected patients, but the timeline depends on tooth movement, bite complexity, periodontal health, and the individual treatment plan.
The periodontal procedure is generally performed with local anesthesia, with additional comfort options considered when appropriate. Post-operative discomfort, swelling, and recovery needs vary by patient and procedure.
Potential candidates are evaluated based on periodontal health, bone support, orthodontic needs, medical history, and treatment goals. Not every orthodontic case is appropriate for an accelerated surgical approach.
Yes. Ceramic or metal brackets are placed on your teeth at the start of treatment to initiate guidance, and the accelerated AOO procedure works with either. Your orthodontist will recommend the bracket type that best suits your case and aesthetic preferences.
After active treatment, custom retainers are used to help maintain the new tooth positions — like with any orthodontics. Additionally, when bone-grafting material is incorporated during the procedure, it supports the surrounding bone and increases long-term stability.
Probably not. Wilckodontics is designed for adults and teens with good general health and healthy gums free of periodontal disease. What matters is your periodontal health, bone support, and bite — not your age. An orthodontic and periodontal evaluation will confirm your candidacy.
