HOUSTON—OrthoAccel Technologies has entered into an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Henry Schein Orthodontics to distribute AcceleDent Optima, an FDA-cleared, Class II medical device employing patented SoftPulse Technology that produces gentle pulsating forces clinically shown to speed up bone remodeling.

The agreement states that Henry Schein Orthodontics will be the exclusive U.S. distributor of AcceleDent Optima. OrthoAccel is retaining its direct sales force and the hybrid distribution model is expected to expand the company’s market leadership. 

“By working with Henry Schein Orthodontics, a leading global orthodontic company, OrthoAccel is expanding its market reach exponentially. This new distribution resource will complement OrthoAccel’s national sales team, who will continue to serve our existing customers and introduce new ones to the benefits of accelerated technology,” said David Josza, OrthoAccel’s president and CEO. “Demand for our technology is growing as leading orthodontists report improved predictability and tracking when integrating AcceleDent into their aligner therapy. By expanding our distribution resources, we can serve more practices.”

Josza added that the Henry Schein Orthodontics distribution arrangement will focus on AcceleDent Optima, OrthoAccel’s third-generation vibratory orthodontic device, which received FDA clearance in May 2017. Optima uses Bluetooth technology and a cloud-based practice management system that enables orthodontists and clinical teams to connect with patients for more proactive case management. A small, lightweight, waterproof device, Optima connects patients and practices through usage monitoring, direct messaging and virtual awards via an app or web portal. 

“We are proud to begin distributing AcceleDent Optima because it is a leading technology in the field of accelerated orthodontics, which complements our progressive practice solution offerings, like sagittal first,” said Ted Dreifuss, general manager of Henry Schein Orthodontics. “Several clinical studies and case reports show that orthodontists are experiencing exciting clinical benefits with AcceleDent and that is outstanding.”
