Disclosed is a system for use in emitting ultrasound to a dental area as a dental treatment. The system is comprised of an intra-oral dental attachment for providing ultrasound emissions to the dental area and extra-oral controlling means for controlling the ultrasound emissions. The intra-oral dental attachment is in communication with the extra-oral controlling means. The dental attachment includes at least one flexible array of cooperative ultrasound transducers for emitting ultrasound and sensing at least one stimulus. The dental attachment also includes a matching layer for matching acoustic impedance. The matching layer is provided to be disposed between the at least one flexible array and the dental area. The dental attachment also includes a housing for containing the at least one flexible array and the matching layer. The housing has a positioning structure configured to position the at least one flexible array of ultrasound transducers adjacent and along a length of a tooth root and gum tissue and proximate the dental area to provide ultrasound emissions to the dental area. The stimulus sensed by the tranducers is selected from the group consisting of a value of electrical impedance of the ultrasound transducers and ultrasound. The dental treatment is selected from the group consisting of acceleration of orthodontic treatment, acceleration of jaw bone and alveolar bone remodeling, acceleration of healing post-oral surgery, repair of tooth root resorption, acceleration of repair to jaw and alveolar bone fractures, treatment of tooth sensitivity at the root or crown level, reduction of gingiva infections, acceleration of the healing of gingivitis and periodontitis, and reduction of pain and inflammation after gingival flap surgery.
