Digital X-rays and Photography

We are proud to utilize the latest technology available to ensure our patients enjoy the best results. Our digital X-rays are taken by a state-of-the-art, Planmeca Digital Panoramic/Cephalometric machine. These X-rays offer higher resolution and much lower radiation than traditional film-based machines. The images are also easy to share with your dentist or other health care providers. We use high-resolution digital photography to capture detailed images of your mouth, thus enabling us to maintain sharp, accurate records and keep you thoroughly informed of your treatment progress.

Digital Orthocad Models

The OrthoCAD digital model is a state-of-the-art technology that provides highly accurate digital models of your teeth, which Dr. Miller and Dr. Dixon use to effectively diagnose and communicate cases. The highly accurate OrthoCAD Digital Study Model is superior to a traditional stone model in every aspect, and its easy transmission for consultation with other healthcare providers means more effective patient diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Miller and Dr. Dixon can manipulate your model in virtual space and collect data through a wide range of computer diagnostic tools, allowing a more effective analysis and treatment strategy.

Damon Braces System

In an effort to provide our patients with the very latest in orthodontics, we are proud to offer new Damon Q braces: the all-new, all-metal self-ligating braces system that has gone above and beyond to increase patient comfort and reduce overall treatment time while straightening your teeth.

What are the Advantages of the Damon System of Braces?
The Damon brackets are a great way to achieve your most beautiful and esthetic smile in less time and with greater comfort than other treatments or even conventional braces. Damon brackets are more comfortable than conventional braces because the brackets are smaller and therefore more comfortable against your lips and cheeks. Because they are smaller, they are also less noticeable.

Damon brackets are also 'self ligating.'
Conventional braces hold the wire into the brackets with individual elastics. This causes tension on the wire that moves your teeth. One problem that arises is that the elastics eventually get loose; therefore you must visit the orthodontist more often to change the elastics and create more force. The Damon brackets do not need elastics to hold the wire in place; instead, Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

This 'self ligating' system means that your braces will not need as many appointments for adjustments and that a more even tension is placed on your teeth throughout your treatment. Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties that can collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easier during treatment.

With the Damon System of braces, treatment time is typically 6 months shorter than with conventional braces. And shorter treatment time means fewer appointments and a beautiful smile...faster. You may be surprised at how fast.

Invisalign

Introducing Invisalign® — The Straightest Way to a Great Smile

Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.

Clearly Different
The Invisalign® System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign® aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign® is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners -- as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually -- week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!

Please visit our information pages if you want to learn more about how Invisalign® works.

To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign®. Invisalign® is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. To see if Invisalign® can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, call us at 803.327.1144 (Rock Hill) or 803.631.5508 (Lake Wylie) to make an appointment.
