HOUSTON, May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OrthoAccel® Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that AcceleDent Aura is a finalist in the 12th Annual American Business Awards (ABA) Competition in the category of New Product of the Year - Health and Pharmaceuticals. Manufactured by OrthoAccel, AcceleDent® Aura is the first and only FDA-cleared, noninvasive medical device that speeds up orthodontic treatment by as much as 50 percent with just 20 minutes of daily use.
The ABAs, also known as The Stevie® Awards, honor and generate public recognition of achievements and positive contributions from every facet of business, such as new product development, marketing, information technology and web development, to name a few.
"As the leader of the accelerated orthodontic industry, we are thrilled that our product, AcceleDent Aura, has been recognized for its innovation," said Mike Lowe, president and CEO of OrthoAccel. "Never before has there been a noninvasive solution to accelerating orthodontic treatment and because of that, leading orthodontists are calling AcceleDent a game-changing product for the industry."
AcceleDent was one of more than 3,300 nominations submitted in the annual ABA competition, which is judged by 130 business professionals from varying industries. During preliminary judging, each entry is reviewed and rated by no fewer than five judges and it must receive an average score of at least 7 on a 10.0 scale to become a finalist.
Winners will be announced in September following the "People's Choice" open voting process, which allows the public to vote online for their favorite new product.
