DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE
TRANSFORMING ORTHODONTICS
More than ever, patients are seeking shorter time in treatment and esthetic alternatives
to conventional orthodontic bracket systems. While many straight wire appliances
deliver reasonable results in most cases, occasionally it is necessary to modify the torque
prescription of various brackets to gain the desired tooth movements. Unfortunately,
bracket torque selection is tedious, subjective and often inaccurate. The development of
computer designed appliance systems and temporary anchorage devices are helping the
clinician satisfy these patient needs.
Dr. Smith will discuss why Insignia, patient specific computer designed, brackets are
the latest innovation to improve treatment planning, accurate bracket placement and
clinical efficiency. He will present numerous cases treated with combined Insignia,
temporary anchorage devices and clear aligner therapy on the more challenging
orthodontic problems.
The use of intraoral digital scanners will ultimately replace the burdensome process
of impressions and greatly enhance accuracy and patient comfort. The new Lythos
scanner is an integral part of the digital evolution in orthodontics. Dr. Smith will
demonstrate the use of the scanner and review how the digital data is used for the
Insignia Approver Software, appliance fabrication and other applications.
