OrthoAccel Technologies has received official clearance from the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) to begin commercial sales of its AcceleDent orthodontic device in South Korea.
AcceleDent is a hands-free appliance used at home to speed up the rate of orthodontic treatment. It's used 20 minutes a day by biting gently on the mouthpiece to hold it in place, according to the company.
AcceleDent received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance in November 2011 and is now available in more than 20 international markets, the company noted.
