About Propel
How Propel Works
Propel speeds up the bone remodeling process in the jaw, thus leading to faster tooth movement. Using a patented SoftPulse technology, Propel sends micro-pulses into the bone that supports your teeth. These precisely calibrated vibrations increase cellular activity in the bones, accelerating the natural process of bone remodeling. Dr. Drabik provides patients with a Propel mouthpiece that easily fits over Invisalign aligners or braces, making it convenient to incorporate into daily routines. This hands-free treatment allows patients to engage in other activities while Propel works its magic.
Benefits of Propel
Propel significantly decreases overall treatment time, offering a faster path to a straighter smile. It can be used in conjunction with traditional braces or Invisalign, enhancing treatment flexibility. The non-invasive and gentle nature of Propel ensures a comfortable experience, contributing to more accurate and satisfying results.

Retainers
After braces have shifted your teeth into their ideal positions, retainers play a crucial role in ensuring that the teeth remain in place and do not shift back. It is recommended to wear the retainer for 20-22 hours a day initially, gradually transitioning to wearing it less frequently over time until it is only worn during sleep. Our practice emphasizes the lifelong commitment to wearing retainers to preserve the integrity of your smile.

“Awesome experience, the technicians were super sweet and Dr. Drabik was extremely personable. They got me in as a new patient within a day for a permanent retainer fix, and the technician was able to take a look, remove my old retainer, and replace it within 30 minutes. Super impressed and definitely would recommend.”
