Modern Orthodontic Techniques

Laser dentistry treatment tools

A straight smile is a beautiful, healthy smile – something that we want all of our patients to experience. There are four broad categories of treatment that Dr. Yelizar is able to offer here at SimpliBraces. They all follow three simple steps: a consultation, the smile design process, and the beautiful result. Your self-esteem as well as your relationships with the people around you will improve once you’ve completed your personalized treatment plan. Learn more about the basics below before you call to schedule a consultation to explore options for treatment using modern orthodontic techniques and technologies in Queens, NY.

Gummy Smile Reduction

We like to provide non surgical gum lifts to the patients who display excess gingival tissues. Prior to the advent of modern techniques such as the use of small anchors (TADs) and intraoral soft tissue lasers, it was only possible to reduce gummy smiles via surgical techniques. Today, Dr. Yelizar can predictably reduce excess gum tissue and in turn create beautiful smiles that are balanced.

Medit 3D Scanner

Medit 3 D scanner system

With high speed and intelligent cameras, the 3D scan of your teeth is accurate. The best part is, with the Medit Scanner, no more putty impressions of your teeth are necessary, so the unpleasant feeling of filler in your mouth is gone! We can use the data provided from the scan to customize the brackets, wires and your whole treatment.

DIBS AI

In the past, Dr. Isaak would have to place each bracket for braces one by one, which was a meticulous and slow process. Seeing as how our patients want to get to their new smiles as quickly as possible, he has now integrated DIBS AI into his daily practice.

This technology enables him to map the movement of the teeth and determine the perfect position of all the brackets at the same time with computer-level precision. Then, he can print trays so that they can be connected to the teeth all at once. This saves time in the chair as well as leads to better, more predictable outcomes for our patients.

Grin Scope

Typically, a patient has to attend check-in appointments with their orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks throughout the treatment process to make sure everything is moving according to plan. But with the Grin Scope, you’re able to benefit from the oversight of Dr. Isaak while needing to come into the office much less often.

This device attaches to your phone and allows you to take close-up pictures of your teeth that Dr. Isaak can use to monitor your progress. This means you only need to come into the office every 8 to 12 weeks! It allows you to save time and not have to change your schedule as much while still enjoying the highest quality care possible.

TAD’s

Temporary anchorage devices

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) or mini-implants had revolutionized orthodontic treatment. When used correctly, they enable Dr. Yelizar to move teeth in a way that was very tough or almost impossible before. They create points of anchorage to allow for movements that were impossible with braces alone. Movement such as closing unwanted space or moving the midlines to either side can substantially improve the desired results.
