Digital Scanners (iTero)

Thanks to our iTero digital scanners, each patient’s impressions are now taken digitally in 3D rather than the traditional, uncomfortable putty method.

3D Printing (uLab)

We’ve found that incorporating 3D printing technology into our office has been an absolute game-changer! We can now create aligners and appliances quickly.

Indirect Bonding (LightForce)

LightForce brackets use the process of indirect bonding, which means more accurate results, quicker appointments, and potentially faster treatment times!
