What Sets Us Apart

We have made many positive changes recently to the way we practice orthodontics in B.C! We have the IOC Invisalign scanner (no radiation, but instead light transmitted topographical mapping) which has been an amazing improvement for our Invisalign patients, as they no longer require an impression of their teeth! A 3D digital model is captured and saved on “the cloud”, and then we email this file to Invisalign for accurate treatment planning. More recently we have been taking a scan of younger patients and printing 3D models (steriolithography or 3D printing). The removable or fixed orthodontic appliances are then fabricated from this highly accurate printed model. This advancement in orthodontic technology is certainly going to be the standard of care in the near future. 3D printers are continually becoming smaller, faster and more affordable.
