---|---|
1. SureSmile creates a 3-D computer model of your bite by using advanced imaging technology to scan your teeth. | 1. In traditional orthodontics, a doctor uses a plaster model and 2-D x-rays to determine a general treatment plan. |
2. With the 3-D model, the doctor can now see your teeth, the root of your teeth in your jaw bone and how they all fit together from any angle. | 2. The finishing positions for your teeth are developed over time by viewing progress at frequent monitoring visits. |
3. Once your treatment plan is determine, SureSmile directs a robot to bend a Shape-Memory Alloy archwire according to your doctor's prescription. | 3. Archwires are bent by hand at chairside during each appointment, requiring continuous re-adjustment over the course of treatment. |
