Found the specs for the ultrasound.
Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (
LIPUS) is a medical technology, generally utilizing 1.5 MHz frequency pulses, with a pulse width of 200 μs, repeated at 1 kHz, at an intensity of 30 mW/cm2, 20 minutes/day.
Applications of LIPUS include:
- Promoting bone fracture healing.[1]
- Treating orthodontically induced root resorption.[2]
- Regrow missing teeth.
- Enhancing mandibular growth in children with hemifacial microsomia.[3]
- Promoting healing in various soft tissues such as cartilage, inter vertebral disc, etc.[4]
- Improving muscle healing after laceration injury.[5]
Researchers at the
University of Alberta have used LIPUS to gently massage
teeth roots and
jawbones to cause growth or regrowth, and have grown new teeth in rabbits after lower jaw surgical lengthening (Distraction osteogenesis) (American Journal of Orthodontics, 2002). As of
June 2006, a larger device has been licensed by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
Health Canada for use by
orthopedic surgeons. A smaller device that fits on braces has also been developed but is still in the investigational stage and is not available to the public.
It has not yet been approved by either Canadian or American regulatory bodies and a market-ready model is currently being prepared. LIPUS is expected to be commercially available before the end of 2012.
According to Dr. Chen from the University of Alberta, LIPUS MAY also have medical/cosmetic benefits in allowing people to grow taller by stimulating bone growth.

Now does anyone know how we can get one that does this????
