Braces by White, using the best technology to put our patients at ease

Similarly to about 1/3 of orthodontists, Dr. John White routinely uses high tech memory wires and self-ligating braces (like Damon braces) that reduce friction, which improves patient comfort and is gentler to the roots of the teeth and adjacent bone. This has the added advantage of reducing the number of appointments by 3 or 4 over the course of treatment.

Braces by White also offers two technologies that are unique for this region. In both offices, we use the Sirona dental CAT scan. This cutting edge technology provides significantly better visualization than conventional x-rays at basically the same level of radiation exposure, so that we can better diagnosis and plan treatment. The 3D views also help parents and patients more easily view and understand exactly what problems exist in the mouth.

Our office is also the first and only SureSmile provider in our area. As documented by the World Journal of Orthodontics, SureSmile technology not only reduces treatment time by about 1/3, but also improves the quality of the result.

Using these three technologies in conjunction results in shorter treatment times, as well as the superior quality that our patients expect and deserve.
