Accelerated Orthodontics

Who wouldn't want to get results faster? The good news is accelerated treatment is a reality today. Over the past few ears, clinicians have increasingly used accelerated orthodontic treatment modalities. Some of these methods require surgeries which deter many patients, but pulse vibration technology has proven to be a safe and effective non-surgical method.

With pulse vibration technology, you can reduce your treatment time and get your teeth straighter faster without any surgery or discomfort.

How does it work?

There are currently a couple of devices now available. They both work with the same concept: a brief daily period of vibration to enhance the tooth movement process. You gently bite down on the appliance for 5-20 minutes in the privacy of your own home and this vibration is responsible for several key benefits discussed below. There are minor differences between the two different devices (shown below).

The benefits of pulse vibration technology include:

• Reduce discomfort and soreness experienced during treatment
• enhance the clear aligner fit which improves treatment results
• accelerated tooth movement
• promotion of stability in orthodontic retention

Digitally Enhanced Invisalign Treatment

We plan every case for maximum results and the most ideal outcome. This comprehensive digital planning sets us apart from most providers because we incorporate not only the teeth, but the face and lips as part of the total treatment approach.

What is it?

Normally, Invisalign treatment is focused on straightening rotations, improving the bite, and aligning crowded areas. What is missing? The significance of the lips which are the curtains to the oral cavity. All too often, beautifully aligned teeth still do not result in that million dollar smile because the position of the teeth relative to the lip was not addressed.

It all comes down to the level of planning. At the beginning of treatment, we measure and digitally plan the ideal end point for your teeth to ensure the teeth and lips are in unison. With this combination, your smile is in harmony.

Invisalign Clincheck Pro Software

Invisalign offers a more advanced software for advanced and savvy users which gives precise control of final tooth position at our fingertips. Normally, changes to the Invisalign plan have to be conveyed verbally to technicians at Invisalign, but with this advanced pro software, we are able to directly make changes to the plan and this is essential to help deliver the treatment results you expect.

No more gagging or discomfort from traditional dental impressions. We use a digital imaging impression system that not only improves your Invisalign experience but speeds up treatment time.

iTero Intraoral Scanner: Proven Imaging Precision.

The iTero Intraoral Scanner is a high precision digital imaging system that replaces traditional impressions.  When used for your Invisalign impressions, the iTero has the following advantages:

•   50% faster turnaround time 
•   10X fewer rejections due inaccurate or distorted impressions
•   7X fewer fit issues
•   Better patient experience (more comfortable than impressions)
•   Simulated outcomes for patients- see how your outcome can look at your first visit!

A little-known fact about Invisalign is that many cases could ultimately benefit from some minor tooth recontouring, bonding, or veneers to achieve the desired look. Every case is unique and many cases do not need any restorative treatment at the end, but we are able to accurately identify these factors at the onset of treatment and discuss what is possible with some restorative treatment if necessary. Patients benefit from having the expert cosmetic dentistry available in our office.
