Technology

h-xrayWe constantly strive for the best results for our patients, which also means we are dedicated to researching and employing the latest technology in the orthodontic field. Our technical advances provide multiple benefits for our patients, including faster, more accurate diagnoses, and faster, more comfortable treatment.

Digital X-Rays

We offer one of the latest technological advances in orthodontics  with digital radiography, also known as digital X-rays. A wireless sensor is placed in the mouth, and a computer generates an image in 30 seconds as opposed to the general 4-6 minute wait time for images taken on dental film. These X-rays can also be enhanced on the computer and enlarged.

Not only are they friendly to the environment, they are much safer than traditional X-rays. Digital radiographs reduce a patient’s radiation exposure by 90 percent!

Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen™

Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth. And Invisalign Teen offers the same effective treatment as regular Invisalign, with teen-centric options and add-ons that makes it a perfect fit for their needs.

Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE)

With advanced technology like palatal expanders, we can actually create more room in the mouth for teeth to fit comfortably. They are typically used when the upper jaw is too narrow for the lower jaw or when the upper teeth are crowded or blocked out of the dental arch. For more, see our Palatal Expanding Device page.
