Q: With advances in technology, the orthodontic experience has changed recently. Can you share with us some of the new technology available at Abenoja Orthodontics?
A: We are so excited about our new Itero Intraoral Scanner! We no longer need to take impressions. We can create highly accurate digital models that are great for both braces and Invisalign. Our scanner has changed our workflow and has really improved our patients’ experience.
Q: How has your workflow changed?
A: Now we can share our digital scans directly with a lab. They create appliances right on 3D models printed from our scan. This new technology saves our patients and parents valuable time with fewer visits.
Q: What part of your job makes you happiest?
A: Debond day! It is so fun to finish treatment and see the beautiful results and our patients’ reactions. We love it!
Q: You treat patients of all ages. Are you seeing an increase in adult patients?
A: Definitely. Invisalign and ceramic brackets are both so effective and attractive now that I am treating more and more adults.
Q: Are there misconceptions people have about orthodontic treatments?
A: Yes, some think you just glue the braces on and 18 months later, voila! There is actually a lot of work that goes into it both for the doctor and the patient. The end result though makes it all worth it.
