Our Advanced Technology
Part of providing excellent orthodontic care to our patients is staying current with the latest innovations in orthodontics. We incorporate the leading orthodontic technology into our practices at Verdae, East Faris, Spartanburg, and Duncan Chapel to ensure our patients get the best treatment.
Adopting these technologies has made it easier for us to personalize every treatment to our patients’ needs. Orthodontics has come a long way in just a short time, meaning that treatment is more comfortable, efficient, and faster than ever before.
We love helping create bright, healthy smiles thanks to these amazing devices, including our:
iTero Scanner
If you visited an orthodontist as a kid, you might remember those messy molds that they used to fit braces and other appliances to your mouth. Now, those days are over. What a relief!
Today, our patients get an alternative to messy impressions with our iTero 3D Scanners. These handheld devices create a digital impression of your teeth in a matter of minutes. Taking 3D digital scans of our patients’ teeth leads to much more accurate impressions than traditional molds, and the scans are easy and comfortable.
Your orthodontist will cast your digital impressions onto a screen and show you where they think treatment could help. Then, they’ll be able to show you what your future smile will look like!
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
You may already be familiar with dental X-rays and scans, but CBCT is the next level of this technology. This 3D-imaging device helps our team get the most detailed picture of your mouth, all the way down to roots, nerve pathways, and soft tissues. This painless, easy scan helps customize orthodontic care, making it more accurate and effective at every stage.
SmileSnap Virtual Consults
SmileSnap is the industry-leading virtual consultation service for orthodontic patients. If you would like to meet with one of our orthodontists virtually and from the comfort of your own home, you can get the same level of care you would receive in our office thanks to SmileSnap.
You can send in photos of your smile, and we’ll determine whether you’re a good candidate for treatment. If the orthodontist determines you would benefit from our services, they will send you a video to let you know their thoughts and cover the next steps. Virtual consultations make getting treatment easier than ever before!
