Our Healthier Approach to Orthodontics
Very few orthodontic offices in the world do what we do to help patients avoid the detrimental effects of orthodontic scarring. While many spend time telling their patients to "brush better!", we believe we can do more to promote a healthy mouth during orthodontic care. Our approach includes early discovery of gingivitis, use of technology to show and explain what can be done, and the application of state-of-the-art air polishing techniques during adjustment appointments. These are just a few of the things Summit Family Orthodontics does to help our patients finish their care with a smile they will love!
Committed to Your Oral Health
Our Goal
Our advanced anti-scarring protocol includes state-of-the-art prophy jet and air polishing technology, which gently removes plaque and stains without damaging your enamel. Our specific cleaning system reaches areas traditional brushing can't access, especially around brackets and wires. This allows our patients to complete their orthodontic journey with clean, healthy teeth, free of the white spots and scarring commonly seen after braces.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Oral Health
At Summit Family Orthodontics, we harness the power of cutting-edge tools and innovative approaches to ensure your orthodontic treatment promotes optimal oral health.
Gentle and Effective Plaque Removal
With our advanced Prophy Jet technology, we can gently and effectively remove plaque and stains from your teeth using a precisely controlled stream of water and air. This innovative system promotes better oral hygiene during your orthodontic treatment, helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy and ensuring that your smile looks its best when your braces come off.
Detailed Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis
Our intraoral cameras enable us to capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, providing an up-close look at your oral health. By using these detailed images, we can diagnose issues with greater accuracy and communicate treatment plans more effectively, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate care for your unique needs.
Safer, High-Quality Imaging with Digital X-rays
We prioritize your safety and comfort by using digital X-ray sensors that expose you to significantly less radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. These advanced sensors produce high-quality images that allow us to detect potential issues early on, enabling us to plan your treatment more effectively and minimize the need for extensive interventions down the road.
Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment
Our full mouth digital scans provide us with a complete, detailed view of your oral health, allowing us to identify concerns that may not be visible during a traditional examination. By proactively addressing these issues before they become serious problems, we can help you maintain optimal oral health throughout your orthodontic journey and beyond, setting you up for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles.
Comfortable and Efficient Stain Removal
Air polishing is a gentle, yet highly effective way to remove plaque and stains from your teeth during orthodontic treatment. Using a fine powder and water spray, this advanced technology thoroughly cleans your teeth without causing discomfort or damaging your enamel. By helping you maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment, air polishing prevents discoloration and scarring, ensuring that your smile looks its best when your braces come off.
