Technology and Orthodontics

When you go to the orthodontist you want it to be as quick and painless as possible. And we want that for you! That’s why we pride ourselves on our technological systems that make your orthodontics care and treatment as easy as possible.

We are a “one-stop-shop”. That means everything you need is right here in our office! There is no need to travel to outside labs to have photos taken, or impressions made. We want your orthodontic care to be convenient, not a hassle! We understand that you’re busy, and that your time is valuable.

iTero Digital Scanning

One thing people absolutely hate about orthodontic treatment is the goopy impressions. There is nothing pleasant about having your mouth pried open, and getting some sticky gooey substance shoved in there, causing you to gag. So we’ve done away with that!

iTtero digital scanning equipment takes pictures of your mouth and teeth. You simply lie back and relax, while we wave what looks like a wand  around your mouth. The images are clear and precise, and the impressions can be made from those images.

No more gagging and feeling claustrophobic and panicky with your mouth packed full of goop! This aspect of orthodontics creates anxiety for many people, and so we’ve updated our technology to avoid it. No one should have to forgo vital care because of unpleasant and outdated techniques.

Panoramic and Cephalometric X-Rays

Orthodontic care is about more than just your teeth-it consists of the activity below the surface of your gums as well.

The roots of your teeth move around, and that affects how your orthodontic treatment is going to go. With our cephalometric x-rays we are able to see and predict when and where your roots are moving, and that makes it easier for us to ensure that your orthodontic treatment will be successful.

The best part about these x-rays is that they are super quick! The pictures take about ten seconds, and the images come through in 5 or 6 minutes! This means less time at the orthodontists office, and more streamlined and predictable outcomes for your treatment.

Superior Patient Experience

The patient experience is important to us. By updating our technology we have ensured that your orthodontic experience will be superior.

The cephalometric x-rays are a fast and clear imaging process that takes pictures of your mouth and jaw with speed and ease. The pictures will be clearer and more concise than older techniques. We can have your images ready within minutes, and your data will be stored and easily accessed for future appointments.

The iTero technology makes it very easy to make images of your mouth without goopy impression materials. You don’t have to struggle with your gag reflex while you wait for material to set. The impressions will be much more concise, and take less time to complete.

We are a second generation practice. That means we’ve treated patients and their parents! We feel very strongly about community and family, and we do our absolute best to ensure that you and your families receive the best possible care in our practice

If you or a family member is looking into orthodontic treatment, look no further and schedule an appointment today! We serve patients all over the Bay Area, from Walnut Creek to Concord and Martinez.
