When a Straighter Smile Feels Out of Reach
For many people, the idea of orthodontics feels overwhelming. You may imagine years of braces, slow progress, and endless adjustments. If you’re an adult, you might even feel like it’s “too late” to straighten your teeth.
But what if there was a way to make orthodontic treatment faster, more predictable, and more comfortable? For patients who want to improve their smile without a lengthy process, Surgically Facilitated Orthodontics (SFOT)—also called accelerated orthodontics—offers a path forward.
At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we provide SFOT as a specialized solution for patients looking to shorten treatment time while still achieving healthy, lasting results.
What Is SFOT?
Surgically Facilitated Orthodontics is a treatment that works in partnership with your orthodontist. By making small, precise adjustments to the bone around your teeth, we can stimulate faster movement and greater stability.
In simple terms, SFOT gives your orthodontic treatment a “boost.” Instead of waiting years for braces or aligners to finish their work, the timeline can often be cut significantly.
Why Patients Choose SFOT
Patients often consider SFOT because they want results without the long wait. Benefits include:
Faster Treatment Times
Orthodontic results in months instead of years.
Improved Stability
Teeth are less likely to shift back after treatment.
Expanded Options
Some patients who weren’t candidates for traditional orthodontics may now qualify.
Enhanced Facial Aesthetics
Some patients who weren’t candidates for traditional orthodontics may now qualify.
A patient might describe it this way: “I wanted a straighter smile, but I didn’t want braces into my 40s. SFOT made the process faster and easier than I thought possible.”
How the Process Works
Here’s what you can expect with accelerated orthodontics at Precision Periodontal and Implant Center:
Collaborative Planning
We work closely with your orthodontist to design a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Minor Surgical Procedure
Using minimally invasive techniques, we adjust the bone around your teeth to encourage quicker movement.
Orthodontic Treatment Continues
Your braces or aligners do the work of moving your teeth, but now with added efficiency.
Follow-Up and Stability
As treatment progresses, we ensure your teeth and supporting structures remain healthy and stable.
Most patients are surprised at how straightforward the procedure feels and how quickly they start noticing results.
Who Is a Candidate for SFOT?
SFOT may be right for you if:
You’re considering orthodontic treatment but want faster results
You’ve been told traditional orthodontics may not work for your case
You want to reduce the risk of relapse after treatment
You value both speed and long-term stability in your results
Not everyone needs SFOT, but for the right candidate, it can be life-changing.
