HOUSTON, August 31, 2010 - OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. (www.acceledent.co.uk/home)
announced this week that following a successful limited market release of
AcceleDent last October it will be initiating a full-market release
throughout the United Kingdom this coming September. Availability of
AcceleDent (www.acceledent.co.uk), which is a regulated medical device
and only available to dental professionals to prescribe to their patients,
will be featured at the British Orthodontic Conference
(www.bos.org.uk/meetings/boc2010) (BOC) next month in Brighton.

AcceleDent (www.acceledent.co.uk/how-it-works) is a simple,
removable dental device that patients place in the mouth for twenty minutes
daily. It produces a gentle vibrational force which enhances the pressure
applied by braces. AcceleDent (www.acceledent.co.uk/home) has been
clinically proven to safely speed up orthodontic tooth movement. The product
is hands-free and allows the user flexibility to carry out most routine tasks
during use.

The AcceleDent System is currently being sold to select orthodontic
specialists in the United Kingdom, where it was introduced last year
(www.acceledent.co.uk/news/OrthoAccel-attends-British-Orthodontic-Conference-2009)
through a limited market release program. Approximately twenty orthodontic
specialists participated in the evaluation program, which the Company used as
an important learning experience. Mike Kaufman, VP Marketing and Business
Development at OrthoAccel, commented, "The controlled UK introduction has
provided an invaluable opportunity to experience customer purchasing
preferences and marketing approaches to incorporate AcceleDent into the
orthodontic treatment plan. The ability to intimately dialogue with these
early adopter orthodontists has yielded several product refinements, which
have already been implemented. These orthodontists are very encouraged by the
results they are seeing and in general have been able to move through the
treatment plan at a quicker pace."

Patients have reported using the device while engaged in a variety of
activities, including homework, watching television and reading. The
vibrating force has been described as "very light," and one patient remarked,
"The pulsing feels like a gentle massage for my teeth and gums - and I look
forward to it every evening."

And it seems that every patient has a unique story driving the desire to
complete treatment and reach the final result of a beautiful smile as quickly
as possible. "I definitely want to finish treatment before I go to
university, and plan to travel for the second six months of my gap year.
Clear braces mean I don't feel nearly so self conscious and AcceleDent means
I can expect to finish all my treatment by the end of this year - which is
really great," remarked James, a 17 year old patient under the care of Dr
Sharon Orton-Gibbs at Walpole Specialists, Surbiton
(www.acceledent.co.uk/news/Acceledent_Fast_Track_Treatment_Walpole_Specialist_Orthodontic).

The Company has reported plans to host a gathering at the BOC in Brighton
next month for the group of early-user orthodontic specialists, in order to
review patient case progress and other insights. OrthoAccel is anticipating
the conclusion of another US clinical trial at the UT Health Science Center
in San Antonio (orthodontics.uthscsa.edu) with a target completion
date later in 2010.

About the AcceleDent System

AcceleDent represents the first clinical approach to safely accelerate
orthodontic tooth movement via modulating biology. The device has been
studied clinically and applies gentle pulsing forces in combination with
standard orthodontics to move teeth faster through accelerated bone
remodeling. Importantly, the device works complementary with all existing
orthodontic technologies. AcceleDent is neither FDA cleared nor FDA approved;
it is currently investigational only in the United States. More information
