Advanced Orthodontic Technology in Maryville, TN
Maryville Family Orthodontics uses modern orthodontic technology, including the Dexis digital scanner, 3D imaging, and LightForce custom braces, to make treatment more comfortable, precise, and efficient. Dr. Monica Ginart pairs that technology with a specialist’s judgment so your care is guided by expertise, not gadgets alone.
Better tools make for a better patient experience. The equipment we use means no messy impression molds, more accurate treatment planning, and options tailored to your individual teeth. Here is a look at the technology behind your care, and links to learn more about each treatment.
Digital Scanning With Dexis
We replaced goopy, uncomfortable impression trays with the Dexis digital intraoral scanner. A small handheld wand gently captures a precise, 3D image of your teeth and bite in just a few minutes. It is faster and far more comfortable, especially for kids and anyone with a sensitive gag reflex, and the digital model lets Dr. Ginart plan your treatment with a high level of accuracy. Those same scans make it easy to track your progress and design custom appliances.
3D Treatment Planning
Your digital scan becomes a detailed 3D model of your mouth. Dr. Ginart uses it to map out each stage of tooth movement and to show you what your treatment plan will involve before it begins. Planning digitally means fewer surprises and a clearer picture of your path to a straighter smile.
LightForce Custom Braces
We offer LightForce custom braces, the first fully 3D-printed bracket system, in which every bracket is designed for the exact shape of one of your teeth. Compared with standard, one-size-fits-all brackets, that precision can mean more efficient tooth movement and a more comfortable fit.
Clear Aligner Technology
For patients who prefer a removable option, Spark Clear Aligners use advanced aligner material and digital design to straighten teeth discreetly. Like everything we do, Spark treatment is planned and monitored by a board-certified orthodontist.
Technology in Expert Hands
Great technology is only as good as the specialist using it. At Maryville Family Orthodontics, every tool serves one goal: a healthier, straighter smile delivered comfortably and efficiently. To see how our technology fits your needs, book a free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may have questions as you explore your treatment options and dental care. Below are answers to some of the most common questions to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Does a digital scan replace the old putty impressions?
Yes. Our Dexis scanner captures a precise 3D image of your teeth with a small handheld wand, so there is no putty, no gagging, and no waiting for molds to set. It is faster and far more comfortable, which children especially appreciate.
Is this technology safe for children?
Yes. Digital scanning is comfortable and low-radiation, making it a great fit for young patients. It also lets Dr. Ginart show parents exactly what is happening with their child’s smile on screen.
Do I pay extra for the advanced technology?
No. The digital tools we use are simply part of how we deliver care, not an add-on fee. Your treatment quote covers everything, and we offer no-interest financing to keep it affordable.
