Braces Go High Tech!

A technology, which has been over 10 years in the making, is taking the orthodontic field by storm. Insignia is a concept whereby a patients teeth are uploaded into a 3D computer software program.

Once scanned into the software, the teeth are aligned into an ideal fit and aesthetic positions to enhance the smile. Braces are then custom made for each specific tooth movement and correction which enhance treatment results and decreases your over all treatment time. Dr. Thomas is a certified trained user of this technology.

Additionally, the software program then makes custom patient specific wires which work in conjunction with the custom braces delivering optimal forces and positioning toward a fantastic final result. The combination of High Tech tooth positioning in 3D, custom braces, and custom wires makes for fewer appointments and a decrease in over all treatment times.
