Dr. Natalia Hodge weighs in on how the latest technology can impact your smile.
Q: How is technology reshaping orthodontics?
A: If you’ve been thinking about orthodontics for yourself or your child, you might be surprised at how much things have changed. Gone are the days of endless office visits and lengthy appointments. At Hodge Orthodontics, we use cutting-edge technology to make treatment faster, more comfortable and tailored to your busy life. With 3D scanning, custom braces and aligners, we can customize treatment plans and appliances. Your braces are designed to fit your unique teeth and digitally placed.
That method is more precise than traditional methods. For patients, that means fewer adjustments, more comfort and a faster arrival at the finish line. Plus, remote monitoring lets us track your progress without you having to be in the office so frequently. You simply scan your teeth weekly using our scan box that attaches to your phone. We check on your progress more often, but you only come into the office when your teeth are ready for the next step. Teeth move at their own pace, so rather than sticking to a rigid appointment schedule, we can adjust your visits to match your unique progress. This means fewer trips to the office and more time for all the other things that keep you busy!
