You may be thinking of Wilckodontics. From what I could tell, they don't really go into depth on their website, but what they do is place braces and then irritate the bone (essentially drill holes ("scar" the bone) in strategic spots). During the healing from this insult, osteoclastic activity is increased... accelerating the remodeling of bone. As the bone remodels, it can respond more quickly to PDL forces than it normally would. I think I first heard about this in the context of military folks who needed orthodontics, but needed results quickly.
