AcceleDent

AcceleDent was the flagship product of OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc., a privately held medical-device company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Bellaire, Texas, outside Houston. AcceleDent is an FDA-cleared Class II device built around the company's patented SoftPulse Technology: a hands-free mouthpiece and activator that a patient bit down on for about twenty minutes a day, delivering gentle micropulses intended to speed bone remodeling during orthodontic treatment and reduce the discomfort of braces and clear aligners. The line ran through three generations — the original AcceleDent, AcceleDent Aura in 2013, and AcceleDent Optima, cleared by the FDA in 2017 — sold to orthodontists and dentists rather than direct to consumers, with an e-commerce ordering site at shop.acceledent.com for practices. The company raised roughly $63.1M across sixteen rounds, the last a Series C in January 2017, and a later debt-and-equity financing led by S3 Ventures. It was a physical medical-device business, not a software business: OrthoAccel never operated a developer program, never published an API, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable specification of any kind, and shipped no client libraries to any package registry. OrthoAccel is now reported defunct — orthoaccel.com no longer resolves, and acceledent.com was re-registered on 2022-08-30 and today sits on Afternic name servers as a GoDaddy aftermarket "for sale" listing whose parking system answers HTTP 200 with an identical 114-byte HTML stub on every path, including every /.well-known/ and spec path. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.

AcceleDent is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, Medical Devices, Dental, and Orthodontics.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

x-domain-note: acceledent.com was re-registered on 2022-08-30 (GoDaddy.com, LLC; name servers ns1/ns2.afternic.com) after
  OrthoAccel wound down, and now serves a GoDaddy aftermarket sales lander. It answers HTTP 200 with the SAME 114-byte HTML
  redirect stub on EVERY path — including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/* path — and /lander itself returns 403 from
  an Akamai edge naming forsale.godaddy.com/forsale/acceledent.com as the target. Those 200s are not documents. DNS is a wildcard,
  so api./docs./developer./shop. all resolve, but no TLS certificate covers them. See well-known/acceledent-well-known.yml.
  This host is NOT controlled by AcceleDent and is deliberately not wired as a Website pointer (roadmap#56).

  type: WellKnown
  emitted: false
  reason: Every probed /.well-known/ path returned the parking system's 114-byte HTML stub, not a document. Per the enrichment
    contract a WellKnown pointer asserts the PROVIDER serves that surface, so the probe record is kept and NO pointer is emitted.
    Do not add one in a later round without a 200 carrying a real document.

  detail: OrthoAccel Technologies built AcceleDent as a physical FDA-cleared Class II orthodontic device and never ran a developer
    program; the company is now defunct, orthoaccel.com no longer resolves at all, and acceledent.com was re-registered in
    August 2022 as a GoDaddy aftermarket "for sale" listing whose parking system returns the same 114-byte HTML stub with
    HTTP 200 for every path probed, including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ path.
