OrthodontiCell: Accelerating Orthodontic Treatment with Bioelectric Stimulation

Most people who have had braces or aligners remember the experience all too well: months or years of treatment, repeat office visits, discomfort, and retainers long after the teeth have moved.

What if there were an innovative platform to change that?

In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Mark Terrill, CEO of OrthodontiCell, discusses how the company is applying bioelectric stimulation to address a familiar challenge: the time and burden involved in moving and stabilizing teeth.

Mark walks through OrthodontiCell’s home-use platform, which delivers targeted bioelectric waveforms through a mouthpiece worn over braces or aligners. He explains the science behind the technology, the treatment-time and pain-reduction results the team has seen to date, and why the platform is being developed to address both tooth movement and post-treatment stability.

This conversation also explores the innovation journey behind the platform, from published clinical research and electrical safety testing to OrthodontiCell’s regulatory pathway.

It’s a compelling look at how a familiar unmet need, advanced technology, clinical evidence, and real-world workflow considerations can come together to create a new MedTech platform.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How OrthodontiCell is addressing a familiar but persistent unmet need in the market
• The science and technology behind its home-use bioelectric stimulation platform
• Key takeaways from early clinical evidence and testing as the platform advances
• Why the potential value extends beyond patients to orthodontists, practices, and aligner companies
