Advanced 3D Technology for Damon System Braces and Treatment Techniques

Smiles are a big part of every person’s identity. We take great pride in being part of this creative process, helping our patients achieve a healthy and natural looking smile that they’ll be able to enjoy for a lifetime.

With Insignia™ Advanced Smile Design™ treatment solution, we’re able to offer our patients a truly exceptional orthodontic treatment, as it allows us to design a treatment plan developed specifically to everyone’s unique facial structure and dental anatomy.

How is this different to other orthodontic treatments?

When beginning Insignia treatment, Dr. Gretchen first scans the patient’s mouth, generating a virtual 3D model of their smile structure. Unlike most orthodontic cases, this 3D model creates a visual representation of patients’ anticipated results, giving them a clear vision of their new, beautiful smile transformation before treatment even begins. Insignia brackets and wires are 100% customized to fit your teeth and only your teeth.

As a result, patients’ get faster treatment times and fewer office visits than traditional braces.

Whether you prefer braces, Invisalign or want a clear option like Damon Clear with Insignia, we believe you should choose the treatment that is completely custom-tailored for your unique teeth and smile.

If you’re thinking about orthodontic treatment for yourself or your teen, please contact Dr. Gretchen’s office to schedule an appointment. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about braces and the Insignia orthodontic system.

Calling all artists!

October 7, 2015

“The human brain is built for art appreciation.” The Wall Street Journal reports it’s a “natural biological process.”

The Modern Orthodontist (Dr. Schnepper and team) is calling all artists to create a piece of art for our 2016 Calendar.

How cool would it be to have your art work displayed in our annual TMO calendar? All submissions will be included. If you are selected to be featured on one of the months, not only will you win a prize, but you will also get enough calendars to give to all your classmates.

Please make sure you create your art (all medias accepted!) on a 8×10 page in landscape format. You can either bring it by the office or email it to vicki@themodernorthodontist.com

Because art is great for the brain and because your brain is used every single day, makes perfect sense that Dr. Schnepper would want to encourage that relationship and help you feel inspired and your art appreciated by being published in the TMO calendar! It’s such a great feeling and experience to see your “work” displayed in such a fun and useful format.

I say we listen to the Wall Street Journal and get our art on!

Stop in or call for more details! The Modern Orthodontist 2702 NE 78th St. Vancouver, Wa 98665 360-260-5113
