Our Office Technology
Custom Digital Appliances
At BOS, we leverage custom digital appliances to provide our patients with highly personalized and effective treatments. These appliances include clear aligners, custom KLOwen brackets, retainers, and are designed/fabricated with digital technologies like intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM software, and 3D printers. This allows our orthodontist, Dr. Brooks, to move beyond the traditional "one-size-fits-all" approach and create devices tailored to each patient's unique dental anatomy and treatment goals. The use of these advanced technologies ensures a precise fit, minimizing discomfort and maximizing treatment efficiency, often leading to reduced treatment times and fewer adjustments needed.
This digital approach to custom appliance creation enhances the patient experience by offering greater comfort and convenience. The elimination of messy impressions and the ability to visualize treatment progress through digital simulations can reduce patient anxiety and improve compliance. The efficiency of the digital workflow, from scanning to design and fabrication, translates to faster turnaround times, allowing patients to start their treatment sooner.
Dental Monitoring
Dental Monitoring utilizes a smartphone app and AI technology to allow orthodontic practices to remotely monitor patients' treatment progress. Patients use a device their smartphone to take images or scans of their teeth at home, sending them to the orthodontist for evaluation. This technology enables real-time tracking of tooth movement and appliance fit, helping your orthodontist, Dr.Brooks, detect and address issues promptly without requiring frequent in-office visits. The AI analysis of the images helps orthodontists provide timely adjustments and personalized guidance to the patient through the app, improving treatment efficiency and potentially reducing treatment time.
This remote monitoring system significantly enhances patient convenience, allowing individuals to maintain their treatment progress from anywhere, reducing the need for time-consuming trips to the office. It also empowers patients to be more involved in their treatment, as they can track their progress and communicate with their orthodontic team through the app. This enhanced communication and accessibility foster stronger patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans, leading to better outcomes.
Itero Lumina
Brooks Orthodontic Studio utilizes the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner to capture highly accurate 3D digital impressions, replacing traditional, often uncomfortable, methods. This technology generates detailed digital models of the patient's teeth and gums, providing orthodontists with essential data for precise diagnostics and treatment planning. The iTero Lumina's seamless integration with systems like Invisalign allows for customized treatment plan visualization and aligner design, enhancing the accuracy and predictability of orthodontic treatments.
The iTero Lumina also significantly enhances the patient experience by offering a faster and more comfortable scanning process, particularly beneficial for those with sensitive gag reflexes or younger patients due to its smaller wand size. Patients can actively engage with their treatment by viewing real-time 3D scans, fostering better understanding and adherence to the plan. The streamlining of workflows, elimination of traditional impressions, and expedited case submissions contribute to increased efficiency in the practice, ultimately leading to improved treatment outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
3D Printed Sintered Appliances
Brooks Orthodontic Studio utilizes 3D printed laser sintered appliances for their remarkable strength and precision. Laser sintering uses high-powered lasers to fuse powdered materials like chromium-cobalt alloys layer by layer, creating rigid and durable components, such as custom bands and frameworks for expanders and space maintainers. This technology eliminates the need for traditional methods like fitting metal bands with separators, which often required extra appointments and could cause discomfort. The custom fit achieved through laser sintering enhances accuracy, reduces chair time, and improves patient comfort during appliance insertion and use.
Laser sintering also improves workflow efficiency by allowing for the direct fabrication of appliances from digital scans, bypassing traditional impression-taking and manual fabrication steps. This streamlines the process, leading to faster turnaround times for appliances and fewer appointments for patients. The durability and strength of these appliances contribute to improved treatment outcomes and reduced risk of appliance breakage or wear, enhancing the overall patient experience. The long-term benefits in terms of efficiency, precision, and patient satisfaction make it a valuable technology for modern orthodontic practices.
