Advanced Orthodontic Technology

At Dr. W. Gray Grieve Orthodontics, we invest in the latest orthodontic technology to provide more precise, efficient, and comfortable treatment. Modern advancements allow us to straighten teeth faster and more predictably than traditional methods, improving both your experience and your results.

Why Does Advanced Orthodontic Technology Matter?

Technology plays a critical role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and overall comfort. By using digital systems and state-of-the-art imaging, we improve accuracy, reduce treatment time, and enhance patient safety. Our approach ensures that every orthodontic plan is customized, efficient, and designed for long-term success.

iTero® Digital Impressions

Traditional putty impressions are no longer necessary. With the iTero digital scanning system, we capture a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums in just minutes. This non-invasive process is clean, comfortable, and ideal for Invisalign patients. Digital impressions improve precision and allow us to design aligners and appliances with exceptional accuracy.

Damon® Self-Ligating Braces

We proudly offer the Damon System, an advanced self-ligating braces technology. Unlike traditional braces, Damon braces use a specialized slide mechanism that reduces pressure on the teeth. This allows teeth to move more freely and comfortably, often shortening treatment time. Patients benefit from fewer adjustments and a more efficient path to a straighter smile.

iCAT™ 3D Imaging

Our office uses advanced iCAT 3D imaging instead of traditional panoramic X-rays alone. This technology provides high-resolution, three-dimensional views of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure. With greater diagnostic clarity, we can identify concerns more accurately and create a highly customized treatment plan. We also carefully monitor radiation levels to ensure patient safety.

How Does In-House 3D Printing Improve Your Treatment?

Our in-office FormLabs 3D printing technology allows us to create precise orthodontic models, retainers, and appliances without delays. By producing appliances in-house, we reduce turnaround times and maintain strict quality control. This means you receive your custom retainers faster after braces removal, with appliances designed specifically for your smile.
