Dental Technology
Modern Orthodontics
We use technology to diagnose, correct, and prevent malposition of the teeth and jaw. That means we will straighten your teeth, and align your jaw for that great smile and bite.
That is our goal for every one of our patients. To get them there, we provide the full range of orthodontic services including multiple options for braces and malocclusion treatments.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-Rays are just one of the many ways that your ‘orthodontist near me’ here at Guildford Town Centre Orthodontist continues to bring innovations in the dental and orthodontics industries to their patients.
Digital X-Rays are computer-generated images that not only yield better quality pictures, but they also do not require any film or development time. When your digital X-Rays are taken, you can see them onscreen practically instantaneously. That means they’re not only much faster, but better for the environment, too, as they avoid the harmful chemicals that are needed for traditional film development.
Digital X-Rays also give your orthodontist the opportunity to zoom in and focus on specific areas, making a diagnosis and early detection easier and more accurate.
Digital X-Rays aren’t just more convenient for patients either. It helps your doctors, orthodontists, and dentists communicate faster as sending your X-Rays is easy as email.
Why Digital?
Remember how going digital revolutionized the camera industry because you didn’t need to worry about buying film or getting the pictures developed anymore? It was a significant shift in how we used cameras because it was so much more convenient and easy.
Well, switching to digital X-Rays from traditional X-Rays is similar in comparison, and it offers many of those same benefits. Digital X-Rays are great because they are faster, reduce radiation exposure, produce better images and are safe for the environment.
X-Rays in Dentistry
X-Rays have been a critical tool in dentistry and orthodontics for decades, helping to effectively and accurately diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions.
Digital X-Rays, which have been increasing in popularity ever since their introduction in the 90s, continues that tradition with one key difference- they reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% that of traditional X-Rays, making them even safer. The reduced radiation exposure is particularly important for pregnant women.
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are just one of the many ways that your ‘orthodontist near me’ here at Guildford Town Centre Orthodontist continues to bring innovations in the dental and orthodontics industries to their patients.
Intraoral cameras take high-resolution pictures from inside the patient’s mouth (intraoral means ‘inside the mouth’) and are great at facilitating communication between doctors and patients as they provide a clear picture that helps patients visualize what their orthodontists are telling them. The pictures from the intraoral camera raise the patients’ awareness of their situation, which helps them better understand their treatment options and their orthodontist’s recommendations.
Why Intraoral cameras?
Here’s why we use intraoral cameras:
- High-resolution pictures let you see the tiniest details
- Facilitates communication between patients and doctors
- Allows for more accurate diagnosis
- Allows you to compare your “Before” and “After” pictures
- Helps patients visualize their situation and make informed decisions
- Makes early detection easier
- More comfortable and less invasive than traditional methods
Intraoral cameras are better than the human eye, allowing your ‘orthodontist near me’ to see even the tiniest details such as cracks in the tooth and other irregularities. This makes early detection much easier and also allows for a more accurate diagnosis.
Intraoral cameras are also easier to use and less invasive than the mirrors that orthodontists and dentists commonly use, and allow better viewing of hard to reach areas. These cameras also allow you to see your progress and let you see how far your treatment has really come, as you can compare your “Before” and “After” pictures.
At Guildford Town Centre Orthodontist, communication between patient and orthodontist is of the highest priority, and the pictures that we can take with intraoral cameras are one of the best tools to achieve this. As they say, a picture says a thousand words. That’s why we use intraoral cameras.
