Invisalign
Invisalign is a treatment technique that uses clear teeth aligners. All permanent teeth must have erupted for this treatment to be used.
Using highly detailed impressions, the laboratory prepares a three-dimensional virtual model of the mouth and of tooth movements based on the treatment plan previously established by our orthodontists. Our orthodontists review and analyze every step of the treatment. When we are satisfied with the virtual treatment, a series of aligners are produced. Each aligner is designed to move the teeth towards their desired position. Aligners must be replaced every 14 days and should be worn at all times, except during meals. These aligners are comfortable and cause less irritation to the cheeks and tongue. Additionally, hygiene is made easier by removable appliances.
We will confirm whether this type of treatment is suitable for you during our first examination.
The Invisalign page walks through each step of treatment, from comfort to upkeep.
Angel Aligner
Angel Aligner is a world-leading clear aligner system backed by over 20 years of clinical expertise and innovation. This treatment uses a series of custom-made, removable trays designed to solve a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from simple spacing to more complex structural realignments.
Utilizing advanced digital scanning technology, we create a precise 3D map of your smile. This allows our orthodontists to develop a tailored movement plan using Angel Aligner’s specialized software, which predicts how each tooth will shift over time. Each set of aligners is crafted from high-quality, transparent material that is masterfully trimmed for a discreet look and a comfortable fit against the gum line. Patients typically transition to a new set of aligners every 10 to 14 days, wearing them consistently throughout the day and night. Because the aligners are easily removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without any obstruction.
Our team will evaluate your specific dental needs to determine if the Angel Aligner system is the most efficient path toward achieving your ideal smile.
The Angel Aligner page covers this aligner system and the cases it can treat.
LightForce
Snowed in during the infamous Boston blizzard of 2015, Dr. Alfred Griffin III began his research into several recently-published breakthroughs in 3D printing. What he found was game-changing. Based on new developments in the space, he theorized that it might have finally become possible to print a clinically acceptable bracket, something that had never been done before.
Three tireless years of research and development later, Dr. Griffin achieved what had once been impossible: a 3D printed bracket made of ceramic polycrystalline alumina. Orthodontists had talked about creating a 100% personalized, fixed appliance treatment for decades. Now, that vision was about to become a reality.
In 2021, LightForce moved its headquarters from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Burlington, Massachusetts, allowing the company to nearly quadruple its office and production space and make room for its ever-growing team.
The LightForce page looks in detail at these 3D-printed brackets and their benefits.
