We Are A Fully Impressionless Practice

Regarding orthodontic care, nothing is more important than accuracy and precision. After all, the health and well-being of our teeth and gums depend on accurate diagnosis and treatment. Traditionally, orthodontists have relied on physical needs or impressions to determine proper tooth alignment or orthognathic treatment. However, thanks to advances in digital scanning technology, South Shore Orthodontics can now offer our patients a fully impressionless experience.

Compared to traditional plaster impressions, digital scans offer a variety of benefits that make them the clear choice for modern-day dentistry. First and foremost, the accuracy of digital scans is unparalleled; they deliver highly detailed 3D imagery with pinpoint precision, helping us achieve a more accurate diagnosis than ever before. What’s more, because these scans are taken using cutting-edge equipment directly at our office, there is no need for our patients to travel elsewhere or contend with uncomfortable impressions taking up too much of their time. Overall, digital scans are the future of modern dentistry, a faster and more comfortable way for our team of orthodontists to care for your family’s oral health needs. So, if you’re looking for a superior quality treatment that puts your comfort first, look no further than South Shore Orthodontics!
