Digital Technology We Use to Improve Treatment

Digital Technology We Use to Improve Treatment

Digital Technology We Use to Improve Treatment

Orthodontic treatment has come a long way over the years. Gone are the days in orthodontics that involve using goopy putty to get an impression of your teeth. The Best Braces office has left many of these older practices behind and now employs many state-of-the-art digital technology advancements to provide the best results for our patients. The accuracy and details provided by digital technology result in a more successful outcome for our patients. There are numerous benefits to using technology in our office, such as less discomfort, shorter office visits, and faster turnaround time for hardware. 

When visiting our office for a consultation or during treatment, we may use one of these technologies:

3D Printer

This amazing technology has revolutionized the way that we offer plastic aligners to our patients. With lower costs and the ability to offer same-day service, our patients have been nothing but pleased with this advancement. Using the 3D printer eliminates the need to wait weeks to begin a customized and effective treatment plan. 

3D Dental Imaging

Digital X-rays are nothing but beneficial to both the patient and our staff. Gone are the days of waiting around for X-ray film to develop. We welcome the ability to access digital images immediately. The quality is also vastly improved, giving us a more detailed look at the structure of the mouth. 

Intraoral Scanner

This scanner allows our staff to take a more accurate picture of the mouth. The machine allows us to say goodbye to goopy putty and capture all the elements in your mouth immediately. 

Cone Beam Scanner

This method allows for a 360-degree scan of a patient’s head to get a better quality digital image. The resulting image provides more information to assist with a proper treatment plan. 

If you are interested in learning more about the technology offered in our practice and the ways it could benefit your treatment, please contact us today to schedule a consultation. We look forward to seeing you in our office located in Southfield, MI.
