Our Poway Orthodontist uses the latest technology in our practice to ensure the best and most efficient treatment is being delivered to you. We are an impression free office which means we do not ever use molds that are very uncomfortable. Instead, we use a digital 3 dimensional scanner that is extremely more accurate and comfortable. Our patients can see their teeth on the screen immediately and we can review the orthodontic issues immediately. After scanning the mouth we use our three dimensional printer and print dental models. This technology allows us to make clear aligners and clear retainers instantly in the office. Our patients do not need to wait weeks to receive these appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontics is one of the many specializations that can greatly benefit your oral health, as it deals with dental alignment and correcting problems with jaw growth. Orthodontics will help you correct problems with dental malalignment or jaw positioning and promote better dental health. Likewise, this specialized treatment is something that can help restore the proper function of your dental structures and improve your quality of life.
An orthodontist is a specialist in charge of your dental alignment treatment plan. As a dental health specialist, the idea is to develop a treatment plan that gradually and safely realigns your teeth. It’s also supposed to move your jaws slowly so they can achieve a proper relation between them, and you recover proper function when biting down, talking, and even swallowing.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, everyone should visit an orthodontist by age 7 because this is a time when your orthodontist can review your dental development and identify any signs of developing orthodontic conditions while there’s still time to address them and create a treatment plan that’s as comfortable as possible for the patient. Please keep in mind that going to the orthodontist around age 7 doesn’t mean getting braces right away; instead, this stage leads to proper dental development oversight to achieve peak treatment efficiency.
One of the most important things about orthodontics is that it’s a non-invasive treatment option you can start without an age limit. While it does require several months to achieve the desired results, it is one of the safest treatment options available to anyone who requires dental realignment. Also, you should take into consideration that you’ll have to pay close attention to several instructions given by your orthodontist to avoid orthodontic emergencies.
This will highly depend on your specific coverage, as not all dental insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment options. Even some that do might only cover traditional metal braces because they consider some options to be cosmetic treatments. Please, make sure to stay in touch with your chosen orthodontist and their team to explore how your insurance coverage can make treatment more affordable.
