Technological Advancements in Orthodontics

  • Larson Orthodontics

Larson Orthodontics
April 9, 2025

Gone are the days of bulky metal braces and goopy impressions. Today’s orthodontic care is smarter, faster, more comfortable—and more personalized than ever before. Thanks to cutting-edge tools and digital technology, patients at Larson Orthodontics enjoy more efficient treatment with better outcomes.

In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most exciting advancements in orthodontics, how they benefit our patients, and what to expect when you begin treatment in a modern orthodontic office like ours.

Why Technology Matters in Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is both an art and a science. Modern tools help us diagnose more precisely, plan more efficiently, and deliver results that are not only straighter—but also healthier and more stable.

Here’s how today’s technology helps you as a patient:

  • Faster, more accurate diagnoses
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • Greater comfort during procedures
  • Shorter overall treatment times
  • Improved aesthetics and outcomes

Whether you’re choosing braces, Invisalign, or another treatment option, our goal is always the same: to make the journey to your best smile as smooth and rewarding as possible.

1. Digital Impressions with 3D Scanning

Remember those messy impression trays filled with gooey putty? We do too—and we’re happy to say they’re no longer the standard.

At Larson Orthodontics, we use digital scanners to capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and bite. In just a few minutes, we can create a complete digital model—no discomfort, no mess.

Benefits:

  • Faster and more precise than traditional impressions
  • Allows for quicker turnaround on appliances and aligners
  • More comfortable for patients—especially kids and those with gag reflexes

2. Invisalign and Clear Aligner Technology

Clear aligners like Invisalign have revolutionized orthodontics for teens and adults who want a more discreet option for straightening their teeth. These custom-made trays are designed using advanced software that maps out every movement your teeth will make throughout treatment.

Benefits:

  • Nearly invisible and removable
  • Personalized treatment plans based on 3D modeling
  • No brackets or wires—fewer office visits and dietary restrictions

3. 3D Treatment Planning & Simulation Software

Advanced planning tools help us visualize your smile before we even begin treatment. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and predictive modeling, we can show you how your teeth will move over time and what your final results may look like.

This allows us to:

  • Detect complex issues early
  • Customize treatment plans for greater accuracy
  • Provide predictable, beautiful outcomes

It also gives you the confidence of knowing exactly what to expect—every step of the way.

4. Self-Ligating Braces

Modern braces aren’t just smaller and more comfortable—they’re also smarter. Self-ligating braces use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place, allowing for smoother tooth movement and fewer adjustments.

Benefits:

  • Reduced friction and pressure on teeth
  • Fewer office visits needed
  • Shorter overall treatment time for many patients

These braces are sleek, efficient, and a great option for patients looking for a low-maintenance solution with faster results.

5. Accelerated Orthodontics

Looking to speed up your treatment? New technologies such as vibration devices and high-frequency accelerators can help stimulate bone remodeling and enhance tooth movement—potentially reducing your treatment time without compromising safety or results.

While not every patient needs accelerated treatment, we’ll discuss whether it’s a good fit during your consultation.

6. Remote Monitoring & Digital Check-Ins

Busy schedule? No problem. Some patients may benefit from virtual appointments and remote progress monitoring. Depending on your treatment plan, we may use digital tools to track your progress between visits—making it more convenient to stay on track without always needing to come into the office.

Benefits:

  • Fewer in-person appointments
  • Real-time feedback and adjustments
  • Greater flexibility for busy families and professionals

The Future of Orthodontics is Here—And It’s All About You

At Larson Orthodontics, we’re committed to providing the most advanced, comfortable, and effective orthodontic care possible. By investing in the latest technology, we’re able to:

  • Personalize your treatment to fit your goals and lifestyle
  • Make visits quicker and more comfortable
  • Achieve beautiful, lasting results with less guesswork

Whether you’re just starting your smile journey or exploring options for your child, modern orthodontics offers more choices and better experiences than ever before.

Ready to experience the future of orthodontic care?

Contact us today to schedule your free consultation and see how advanced technology can make your smile transformation faster, easier, and more precise.

We recently started our ortho treatment and we're doing well. The staff was friendly, informative, and not pushy at all. They made it very easy for us to ask questions and take the time we needed to decide. They explained the process, what to expect and the whole financial part. Thank you Larson Ortho for having such great staff!
