Advanced Technologies

Modern orthodontics has transformed the way treatment is planned and delivered. At A Smile By Design, Dr. Daniella Phillis uses advanced orthodontic technology to improve accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort throughout treatment.

Digital tools allow us to evaluate your smile with greater precision, design personalized treatment plans, and help you visualize your results before treatment even begins. These technologies help deliver more predictable results while making your orthodontic experience smoother and more comfortable.

iTero Digital Scanner

The iTero scanner with Lumina wand technology allows us to create detailed 3D images of your teeth without traditional impressions. This fast and comfortable digital scan captures precise models of your smile, helping Dr. Phillis plan orthodontic treatment more accurately and allowing patients to preview potential results before treatment begins.

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography provides clear images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures while using significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. These digital images allow Dr. Phillis to evaluate tooth position, jaw alignment, and overall dental health to ensure treatment is carefully planned and tailored to each patient.

Digital Appliance Scanning

Digital scanning technology helps create precise records for orthodontic appliances and treatment planning. These digital models allow our team to design appliances with a more accurate fit while also helping monitor tooth movement and treatment progress throughout your orthodontic care.

Treatment Simulation Technology

Using digital treatment simulation, Dr. Phillis can show patients how their teeth may move throughout orthodontic treatment. By reviewing these visual simulations on an iPad, patients can better understand their treatment plan and see a preview of how their smile may look once treatment is complete.

Custom Bleaching Trays

After orthodontic treatment is finished, many patients choose professional whitening to enhance their new smile. Custom bleaching trays are designed specifically for your teeth to provide even whitening and a comfortable fit, helping you maintain a bright, confident smile after treatment.
