Orthodontic Technology
Why Technology Matters
Advanced technology means better outcomes, faster treatment, and a more comfortable experience for our patients.
digital impressions
Digital impressions use advanced imaging technology to capture highly accurate models of your teeth without the discomfort of traditional molds. This modern approach allows your orthodontist to plan treatment with exceptional precision while giving you a faster, more comfortable experience.

CBCT & 3D imaging
advanced diagnostic capabilities
Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) with 3D Imaging technology provides incredibly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and facial structures. This advanced imaging system allows us to see what traditional 2D x-rays cannot reveal.
How we use this technology
Our advanced technology enhances every aspect of your orthodontic care.
Initial Diagnosis
Comprehensive 3D imaging reveals the exact position of teeth, roots, and bone structure for accurate treatment planning.
Planning for clear aligners & invisalign
iTero scans create precise digital models that ensure your Clear aligners & Invisalign fit perfectly and move teeth efficiently.
Impacted Teeth
CBCT imaging shows the exact location and orientation of impacted teeth, guiding safe and effective treatment.
TMJ Evaluation
Detailed 3D views of jaw joints help diagnose and plan treatment for TMJ disorders and bite issues.
Surgical Planning
For cases requiring surgery, 3D imaging provides surgeons with precise information for optimal outcomes.
Process Monitoring
Digital scans track treatment progress with precision, ensuring we stay on schedule and achieve ideal results.
Fewer Office Visits
In addition to shortening treatment times, the greater efficiency of the K.L.Owen system also helps reduce the number of wire changes and adjustments you’ll need, and that means fewer trips to the orthodontist. Using the K.L. Owen system custom brackets are selected for each tooth based on our digital scan & we use a 3D printed guide to ensure each bracket is placed perfectly on the teeth for a better fit and more precise, efficient tooth movement
