To give you the healthy, beautiful, straight smile you've always wanted, Dr. Rosenthall utilizes innovative digital treatment planning. Using this digital technology, he can create an orthodontic treatment plan that is specifically customized for you.
Each patient's orthodontic condition is unique, which is why we develop each patient's treatment plan based on his/her specialized diagnosis. The treatment planning process involves taking digital photographs, X-rays and digital impressions.
Digital Photography
We utilize high-resolution digital photography to capture detailed images of your mouth, thus enabling us to maintain sharp, accurate records and keep you thoroughly informed of your treatment progress.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays, or radiographs, are also used in our office to provide us with invaluable information about your oral and dental health. By placing a wireless sensor in your mouth and using high-tech computer software, we are able to generate digital images of your mouth significantly faster than traditional X-rays. Not only are they friendly to the environment, they are much safer than traditional X-rays, reducing your exposure to radiation by 90 percent!
Digital Impressions/Models
We also utilize a digital impression system, which replaces the unpleasant-tasting, messy and sometimes inaccurate traditional putty impressions. Using a digital scanner, we will take three-dimensional (3-D) digital images, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. These impressions are then used at a laboratory where they will custom-fabricate a model of your teeth as well as customize bracket trays to increase the accuracy of your treatment.
All of these diagnostic records help us formulate a personalized treatment plan that meets the patient's precise needs and desires. By using this advanced technology, we are able to keep you up-to-date on your treatment progress by comparing your mouth to what it looked like before your treatment began.
