Technology

technologiesOur use of the latest technology and the highest-grade materials will shorten your treatment, reduce discomfort and reduce the total number of office visits.

Using a technique called Indirect Bonding, we use models of your teeth made from the impressions we take to set up your brackets (braces) on the model first. This set up is transferred to your teeth at the bonding appointment. Each patient receives a customized prescription from Dr. Carr who personally evaluates each set up before its finalization.

The benefits of this technique include the elimination of separators (spacers) and metal bands as well as their associated discomfort along with a shorter initial visit to place your braces. In addition, with more accurately placed braces, we can use lighter force wires, which translates into less discomfort for you and fewer total visits to complete your treatment. You will appreciate how this extra effort at the beginning of your treatment translates to faster and more comfortable treatment.
