At Guymon Orthodontics in Meridian, Star, Nampa, Kuna, and Boise, Idaho, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and comfortable orthodontic experience possible. One of the key innovations that have transformed the way we do orthodontics is our use of 3-D scanning technology. In this blog post, we’ll explore how this cutting-edge technology has revolutionized orthodontic treatment at our practice and how Invisalign plays a significant role in achieving beautiful smiles.
Traditionally, orthodontic impressions were taken using goopy molds that could be uncomfortable and unpleasant for many patients. We understand that this was one of the least favorite aspects of orthodontic treatment. That’s why we’ve embraced 3-D scanning technology. Today, over 75% of our orthodontic aligners, retainers, and appliances are created using our state-of-the-art 3-D scanner. This means no more goopy impressions for most of our work. Not only does this eliminate discomfort, but it’s also a game-changer for patients with sensory issues or severe gag reflexes.
One of the most popular options we offer for orthodontic treatment is Invisalign. Invisalign is a revolutionary system that straightens your teeth without the need for wires and brackets. Instead, it utilizes a series of clear, customized, removable aligners. What sets Invisalign apart is its use of 3D computer imaging technology to map the inside of your mouth, creating a treatment plan that best moves your teeth to their ideal position. These aligners are clear plastic, making them virtually invisible to those around you. So, while you’re discreetly working on achieving your dream smile, no one will even know you’re straightening your teeth.
Invisalign isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s highly effective in addressing mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as gaps between teeth or crowding. Unlike traditional braces that require frequent office visits for adjustments, Invisalign empowers you to make adjustments at home. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, allowing your treatment to progress steadily. We understand that your time is valuable. With Invisalign, you only need to visit us every ~6-8 weeks for check-ups, minimizing disruption to your schedule. Moreover, since the aligners are removable, you can eat, brush, and floss as you normally would, maintaining excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
At Guymon Orthodontics, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic care, tailored to your unique needs. Our embrace of 3-D scanning technology and Invisalign treatment reflects our commitment to making orthodontic treatment easier and more comfortable than ever before. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment in Meridian, Star, Nampa, Kuna, or Boise, Idaho, and want to explore the benefits of Invisalign and 3-D scanning, please don’t hesitate to contact us on our website today. We look forward to helping you achieve a smile you’ll be proud to show off, without the hassle of traditional braces and goopy impressions.
