3D Printing
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is an innovative tool that allows both you and our orthodontists to visualize your treatment outcome before it even begins. This technology uses high-resolution images, 3D scans, and advanced software to create a virtual model of your future smile. Whether you’re getting braces, aligners, or other orthodontic treatments, DSD helps map out your entire treatment journey with remarkable accuracy.
One of the standout features of DSD is that it involves you directly in the process. By providing a preview of your final smile, you get to offer input on the aesthetics and ensure that the outcome aligns with your expectations. This collaboration fosters transparency and gives you confidence in the personalized care plan we create for you.
Key advantages of Digital Smile Design include:
- Visualization of your treatment results before starting.
- Enhanced precision in planning each stage of your treatment.
- A more collaborative approach, allowing you to share your aesthetic preferences.
- Boosted confidence as you can see your potential results in advance.
Digital Smile Design
3D printing is revolutionizing orthodontics, and at Bergen Orthodontics, we use this cutting-edge technology to create custom appliances with unparalleled precision. Unlike traditional methods that may require weeks of waiting for a lab to fabricate devices, our in-house 3D printers allow us to produce clear aligners, retainers, and other appliances within a fraction of the time.
This technology enables us to design appliances that are not only tailored specifically to your unique dental anatomy but also quickly adjustable, allowing for more precise refinements during the course of your treatment. Additionally, 3D printing reduces the need for uncomfortable molds or impressions. Instead, we use digital scans to create your appliances, offering a faster and more comfortable process.
The benefits of 3D printing at Bergen Orthodontics include:
- Faster turnaround times for creating orthodontic appliances.
- Custom-fit devices that provide more comfort and effectiveness.
- Reduced office visits due to the ability to quickly print and adjust appliances as needed.
