The iTero Element scanning system is an advanced intraoral scanner that creates highly accurate 3D digital impressions of teeth and gums using optical and laser scanning technology.
Early orthodontic treatment, often referred to as Phase One, can address significant issues such as severe crowding or jaw misalignment. By intervening early, orthodontists can guide the growth of the jaw and create a better environment for permanent teeth to emerge, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatments later. Additionally, early treatment can improve self-esteem and oral function
A palatal expander is an orthodontic device used to widen the upper jaw. It consists of two halves connected by a screw or expansion mechanism. By turning the screw, the device applies gentle pressure to the palate, causing the mid-palatal suture to separate and allowing new bone to form, thereby expanding the upper jaw.
LightForce Brackets are the world’s first fully customized 3D-printed ceramic braces. Unlike traditional braces that come in standard shapes, LightForce braces are digitally designed to fit the unique contours of your teeth. This means a more precise fit, which can make treatment more efficient and comfortable. They are also less noticeable than standard metal braces because they’re made of tooth-colored ceramic. At Griffin Orthodontics, our orthodontist uses LightForce technology to give you the benefits of traditional braces (reliably straightening all types of cases) with a modern, personalized touch that improves comfort and results.
While there may be an initial adjustment period, braces should not significantly interfere with daily activities. Adults can continue to participate in sports, play musical instruments, and engage in other hobbies. It is recommended to wear a mouthguard during contact sports to protect the braces and teeth. Overall, with proper care and adjustments, braces should not hinder an active lifestyle
