Invisalign Without Impressions

Yesterday we had an office demonstration of the ITero 3-D scanner. Once we have the system operating and have been trained in the process our Invisalign patients will no longer need the hassles of impression. The ITero scanner provides a more accurate representation of the teeth than impressions and there is instant feedback. The 3-D data is transmitted to Invisalign immediately so aligners are made much faster. We look forward to having the Itero system soon. Dr. Moravec

Becka and Shauna join Our Team

We would like to welcome Becka and Shauna on to our staff. Becka and Shauna began training this week as Patient Managers. They both have a medical technology background

and during the next several months will master the skills necessary to aid Dr. Moravec and the rest of the team in patient care. We are excited about the new energy they'll bring to office.

Lost Retainers

We have many interesting stories from patients about how their retainers are lost and/or destroyed. A more interesting one occurred today. Martha was at a cookout and was eating dinner around a bonfire. She took out her retainers and placed them in a napkin (1st mistake). Her very young son then picked up the napkin containing the retainers and threw them in the bonfire. (2nd mistake)
