EMBRACING DIGITAL ADVANCEMENTS

Invisalign and digital technology are revolutionizing orthodontics. At Dot Smiles, we are at the forefront of these advancements, constantly incorporating the latest and most effective technology to make you or your child’s orthodontic journey smoother and more convenient. How exactly can our latest-and-best tech benefit you?

Here are a few of the ways:

• Instead of messy impressions, we can now take quick and incredibly accurate 3D digital impressions of your teeth, which provide detailed images without any discomfort.
• Advanced CBCT scanning technology allows us to take highly detailed scans of your teeth and jaw from various angles using less radiation. This gives us a comprehensive view and helps us plan your treatment with remarkable accuracy.
• With digital treatment planning, we can create a precise plan for your orthodontic treatment that is accurate down to the tiniest measurements. This helps us ensure that your treatment is tailored specifically to your needs.
• We have the privilege of offering Invisalign to our patients, a product which leads the industry in innovation. The company behind Invisalign, Align Technology, has conducted extensive research and development, allowing us to provide you with high-quality orthodontic solutions.
• Imagine having fewer appointments! With remote monitoring, we have the option to keep an eye on your progress without you having to come into the office as frequently. This saves you time and makes your orthodontic journey more convenient.

We are committed to providing accessible information, ensuring that you have all the resources you need to make informed decisions about you or your child’s orthodontic care.

INVISALIGN FOR ALL: MYTHS DEBUNKED

We want our patients to know that almost everyone is a candidate for Invisalign! There are a few myths we’d like to debunk here and now:

• Invisalign is more expensive than braces. These days, braces and Invisalign cost about the same! Plus, insurance may help, and we offer flexible payment plans.
• Invisalign is not for kids. Invisalign First and Invisalign for Teens are for children and teens, respectively!
• Invisalign isn’t for complex cases or bite problems. We can treat almost any malocclusion with Invisalign, and it is in fact a better treatment than braces for 80 to 90% of our patients’ cases!

Dot Smiles can serve almost any patient with Invisalign, so if you’re wondering whether you or your child is a good candidate for it, let’s chat about it today! Learn more about Invisalign here.

COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY ORTHODONTICS

We treat patients of virtually all ages, starting as early as six or seven years of age. Sometimes, orthodontics is broken up into Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 occurs during what we call the mixed-dentition stage, when children have some primary and some permanent teeth. Phase 2 is any orthodontic treatment that takes place after all permanent teeth have come in.

At Dot Smiles, however, our approach is to treat every single patient according to their unique situation and lifestyle, rather than classify them into treatment types. The most important thing for our patients to know is that we offer Invisalign and braces for children, teens, and adults. Are you a human with teeth in need of orthodontics? Then we’ve got you covered!
