3D Technology

At Ascend Orthodontics, we leverage cutting-edge 3D technology to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our orthodontic services. Our commitment to incorporating advanced 3D imaging, scanning, and printing techniques ensures that each patient receives the most precise and effective treatment possible. These technologies not only improve the quality of care but also contribute to a more comfortable and streamlined orthodontic experience.

3D Radiographs

3D Radiographs are a cornerstone of modern orthodontic diagnostics and treatment planning. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, 3D X-rays provide a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging technique allows our orthodontists at Ascend Orthodontics to gain a detailed understanding of your dental anatomy, including bone structure, tooth positioning, and potential issues that may not be visible with conventional X-rays. The ability to visualize these structures in three dimensions facilitates more accurate diagnoses and precise treatment planning, leading to better outcomes and fewer complications. With 3D X-rays, we can tailor our orthodontic interventions to your specific needs, ensuring a more effective and personalized approach to your care.

3D Scanning

3D Scanning has revolutionized the way we capture detailed images of your teeth and oral tissues. Using state-of-the-art intraoral scanners, we create highly accurate digital impressions that are far more comfortable than traditional molds. These digital scans provide a precise representation of your dental structure, which is essential for planning and fabricating customized orthodontic appliances. The process is quick, non-invasive, and eliminates the need for messy impression materials. Additionally, 3D scanning allows us to monitor your progress throughout treatment with great accuracy, making it easier to make any necessary adjustments and ensure that your orthodontic journey is on track.

3D Printing

3D Printing plays a pivotal role in our ability to offer customized in-house made appliances. Once we have a detailed 3D scan of your teeth, we use advanced 3D printing technology to create precise, tailor-made aligners, retainers & appliances that fit your unique dental structure. The 3D printing process involves creation of resin models from a digital 3D scan of your teeth. This process allows us to create a duplicate of your mouth with exceptional accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal effectiveness of our Orthodontic appliances. This technology also allows us to re-print the models at any time, avoiding the need of repeat dental impressions and appointments. The integration of 3D printing into our services ensures that you receive appliances that are perfectly suited to your individual needs, contributing to a more effective and comfortable treatment experience.

By incorporating 3D X-rays, 3D scanning, and 3D printing into our orthodontic services, Ascend Orthodontics is able to deliver unparalleled precision and personalization. These technologies not only enhance diagnostic and treatment capabilities but also improve patient comfort and satisfaction. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of orthodontic care, and our investment in advanced 3D technology reflects our commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for each patient. Whether you are seeking traditional braces or cutting-edge aligner therapy, our use of 3D technology ensures that you receive the most advanced and effective orthodontic treatment available.
