Our Technologies
Minimize visits. Maximize results.
Each one of our technologies is carefully selected with you and your little one in mind. We ensure highly-predictable results, and we do everything we can to make your experience comfortable, convenient and Simple along the way.
CBCT Scans for Airway Health
We use advanced 3D CBCT Imaging technology to detect possible airway problems, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, or other conditions in the tissues, muscles, joints or jaw bones.
It’s important that we see the full picture of your child’s teeth and everything that lies underneath to create a clinically-accurate treatment plan and ensure that airway issues don’t go untreated. We include an airway assessment in every child’s screening.
Grin Remote Monitoring
You shouldn’t have to overwhelm your schedule to do what’s best for your child. With Grin® remote monitoring, Dr. Carlson monitors your child’s treatment journey remotely, while still providing highly-personalized care in a way that works for you.
You’ll get to complete virtual check-ins through a convenient app, sending photos of your child’s smile to us through the secure platform. Based on these check-ins, Dr. Carlson can assess their progress and make adjustments to their digital 3D treatment plan in real time.
Your schedule matters. You’ll only have to visit us when necessary, and every visit is purposeful.
Invivo Workspace
Invivo Workspace helps us to reimagine patient-centric orthodontics. With award-winning 3D imaging technology, Invivo allows Dr. Carlson to see far beyond traditional x-ray capabilities.
Invivo technology allows us to analyze the airway canal, tissues, teeth and jaws, and view a simulation of your new smile before you even begin treatment. We can make precise adjustments to your treatment plan remotely and see the end result change on your 3D model – in real-time.
This is how we ensure highly-accurate treatment planning.
Custom, 3D-Printed LightForce™ Braces
No two smiles are the same, so no two sets of braces should be the same. We use the most advanced treatment technologies, and make every set of braces custom.
Custom LightForce™ braces with advanced KLOwen technology allows us to custom-design each bracket for each tooth, reducing treatment time by an average of 41%, with 45% fewer visits and 49% fewer instances of broken brackets.
Custom care means a top-tier experience, tailor-made with you and your little one’s best interest at heart.
iTero® Element Intraoral Scanner
With the iTero Element Digital Scanner, we take digital impressions and create a precise 3D model of your child’s teeth in just a few minutes. We then use this scan with Invivo technology to create your child’s precise, personalized treatment plan.
iTero impressions replace the need for traditional putty impressions, which means no goop, gagging or discomfort for your little one.
