Surgically Facilitated Orthodontics & Wilckodontics Columbus OH
"Because we believe that great dentistry and great health affects your every smile, every conversation, every meal, and every kiss profoundly"
What Wilckodontics combines
- Addressing altered eruption
- Hard tissue (bone) & soft tissue (gums) are grafted
- The placement of orthodontic anchors
- Placement of dental implants
- Extracting teeth (if needed)
Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (Braces) aren’t considered a fashionable statement.
This periodontic treatment allows the time-frame that a patient must wear braces to be accelerated up to 50% faster. Only specially trained periodontists are able to perform this relatively new technique as it is an advanced orthopedic treatment that if not administered correctly, could be damaging. At Stoner Periodontic Specialists, we are thrilled to provide this treatment option to those who are looking for a quicker way to align their teeth.
Benefits of Wilckodontics
- For optimal tooth occlusion, the teeth are able to be shifted accordingly
- Eliminates tooth extraction of teeth in which the arches can be adjusted
- Consolidates the time frame for braces
- Maximum aesthetic heights with straighter teeth, faster
- Improved teeth stability (stay straighter for longer)

Wilckodontics
Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics – sometimes referred to as “Wilckodontics” – is a technique that involves inducing the bones that surround the teeth into a process called rapid acceleratory phenomenon (RAP). This phase allows the teeth to move faster, making realignment easier and quicker.
Because this treatment offers patients a newly aligned smile 2-3x quicker than traditional braces, children can opt for this option for the summer months. By the time the next school year rolls around they are ready to show off a brand-new smile by the Fall. This procedure is especially popular among adults as well. It is becoming increasingly embarrassing to have to wear braces at an older age.
Therefore, any procedure that could speed up this process is a popular option for these adults.

The Wilckodontics Procedure
Since this is a slightly more invasive form of orthodontic treatment, our patients will be put under a local anesthetic to ensure no pain or pressure is felt during the procedure. Many patients don’t feel anything with the procedure is underway, however, may experience some soreness after the treatment. An over-the-counter pain reliever can alleviate these types of pains quickly and easily.
Once the patient is completely numb, the periodontist will start by gently pulling back the gum tissue that covers the roots of the teeth. The periodontist will begin to graft new bone under the gums to remodel the tooth’s movement. Since bone tissue is extremely hard, the time it takes to shift each tooth over is directly in response to just how dense the tooth is. Once this procedure is finished, the teeth will still be added the traditional brackets and wire to hold the teeth in place for some healing.
The bone will now respond to the orthodontic forces created on the dynamics of the bone, aside from the force applied by the teeth. This allows the patient to come out with faster-driven results as well as having straighter teeth for longer. It is extremely common for patient’s teeth to shift after their traditional orthodontic procedure, this is mainly due to the singular force being applied to the teeth for alignment.
This procedure is recommended for patients of all ages, so long as they boast healthy teeth and gums.
