Throughout our lifetime, technology has helped improve and advance elements of nearly every part of our lives. This is also true for the world of orthodontics. Once associated mostly with bulky, uncomfortable metal braces, orthodontic care now features a variety of modern options that are more comfortable, efficient, precise, and convenient. Full Smile Orthodontics is committed to staying up to date with modern advancements to transform smiles as effectively as possible.
Modern Advancements in Orthodontic Care
Advancements in orthodontics have made it easier to offer more customized care, with the use of state-of-the-art technology and more streamlined orthodontic treatment options. Not only do these upgrades allow for more effective, targeted treatment but it helps provide a more comfortable patient experience. Full Smile Ortho embraces modern orthodontic processes to provide the highest quality service:
- 3D Scanning: A revolutionary addition to modern orthodontics, 3D scanning has made personalized care better than ever. At Full Smile Orthodontics, Dr. Asuto uses advanced CBCT 3D imaging to obtain detailed images inside the mouth, including the teeth, jaw, tissue, and nerves. The 360-degree scans provide instant imaging that helps predict outcomes to formulate an effective treatment plan.
- Digital Impressions: Some people may remember having dental molds taken as a messy, uncomfortable experience. Fortunately, the inconvenient putty-filled trays are a thing of the past. Now, impressions can be taken digitally with a handheld scanner that provides a quicker, more accurate result.
- Invisalign: The development of Invisalign has made the dream of a straighter smile more convenient and accessible. Particularly popular among adults, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth. It’s a more discreet, convenient method that allows for easier oral hygiene and a lower impact on lifestyle.
- Accelerated Orthodontics: New techniques are being developed all the time to speed up the orthodontic process. Used solo or in conjunction with traditional treatments, these methods can lead to the desired results on a much shorter timeline.
Modern orthodontists are also able to offer laser technology for less-invasive, more precise procedures, such as reshaping gum tissue. When it comes to braces, metal braces have evolved to be lighter and more comfortable. More options are available for every need and preference, including clear ceramic braces, lingual braces that are placed on the back of the teeth, and more. As time goes on, more and more options will become available as technology continues to advance, and you can be sure that Full Smile Orthodontics will continue to incorporate those advancements into our dental care practice.
