ORTHO INDUSTRY NEWS Propel Initiates Paid Clinical Trial Propel Orthodontics, a manufac-turer and supplier of innovative orthodontic procedures and devices that are revolutionizing the way teeth are moved in orthodontic treatment, launched a paid clinical evaluation for its Propel ® System. The Propel System is a micro-invasive procedure performed by orthodontists to greatly reduce the time in which teeth are moved. Through a ground-breaking scien-tifically proven, patented process called Micro-Osteoperforation™, the alveolar bone is stimulated to induce an inflammatory response that greatly accelerates tooth movement in the treated area. When used during active treat-ment, the length of time required to move teeth has been shown to be reduced by up to 50%. Orthodontists involved in the clin-ical evaluation will be compen-sated for their involvement. Those interested in participating in the paid clinical evaluation and receive free product are encouraged to log onto www.propelorthodon-tics.com for more information. www.orthodontics.com March/April 2012 9
