Why is the VIBE II superior to other devices?

The brilliant segmentalised design of Vibe II ensures that all areas of the mouth, regardless of the occlusion or occlusal plane, receives an equal distribution of HFA forces. Other flat plane devices simply cannot deliver forces to all teeth simultaneously and produce poor clinical results.

Thirty patients with initial Class I skeletal relationships, initial minimum-moderate crowding (3–5 mm), treated to completion with clear aligners and adjunctive high-frequency vibration, (HFV group) or no vibration, (Control group) were evaluated.

The patients were instructed to change aligners as soon as they become loose. Changes in bone density associated with orthodontic treatment were evaluated using i-CAT cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and InVivo Anatomage®️ software to quantify density using Hounsfield units (HU) between treated teeth in 10 different regions. HU values were averaged and compared against baseline (T1) and between the groups at initiation of retention (T2).

RESULTS: The average time for aligner change was 5.2 days in the HFA group, and 8.7 days in the control group . There was significant T1 to T2 increase of HU values in the upper arch (P = 0.0001) and the lower arch (P = 0.008) in the HFA group. There was no significant change in average HU values in the upper (P = 0.83) or lower arches (P = 0.33) in the control group. The intergroup comparison revealed a significant difference in the upper, (P = 0.0001) and lower arches (P = 0.007)

CONCLUSION: High-frequency acceleration devices, adjunctive to clear aligners, allowed early aligner changes that led to shorter treatment time in minimum-moderate crowded cases.

 The anterior nodular attachment engages all maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth.
     
The posterior nodular attachment engages all premolar and molar teeth, regardless of the occlusal plane.
The grooved anterior attachments are designed to apply high-frequency vibration to anterior teeth which may be lagging during treatment.
        
The new vibratory EPS attachment engages the premolars in particular, which is critical particularly in expansion cases.
The enhanced posterior seating and acceleration from the optimised vibratory forces makes the Vibe II an essential element in all clear aligner cases. This design ensures maximum efficacy by a significant coronal encapsulation of each tooth which delivers an even distribution of high-frequency acceleration forces.
Each tooth is then subjected to similar force systems which creates controlled and symmetrical acceleration.
