At Banasiak & Nettune, we are regularly expanding our repository to include the most advanced digital technology available to deliver an unforgettable experience and remain at the forefront of the orthodontic field. As part of our efforts to provide you and your family with exceptional care, we are proud to be the only practice in Basking Ridge and Mendham to solely utilize cutting-edge 3D digital systemsmaking it possible to enhance your comfort and results while also reducing our eco-footprint.
Digital radiographs (x-rays) allow for precise evaluation of your teeth, gums, and dental structures, granting us the ability to identify concerns and plan your procedure with greater refinement than ever before. This method also minimizes your radiation exposure compared with traditional x-rays, proving to be a safer alternative to the latter.
One of our newest and most exciting pieces of technology is the i-CAT CBCT radiographic system. This 3D digital platform allows us to view the upper jaw, lower jaw, and oral structures from virtually any angle, giving our team unprecedented access and making highly-advanced, precision orthodontic treatment easier than everwhich means more rapid diagnoses, fewer mid-treatment adjustments, faster procedure times, and optimized outcomes. The i-CAT also improves patient comfort and treatment experience, with its comfortable seated design and reduced exposure to radiation. Combined with digital impressions, digital X-rays, 3D printing, and other advanced techniques and technology, the i-CAT makes us a modern, fully digital practice, and the only orthodontic practice in the area that can make this claim.
Traditional dental molds can be uncomfortable, messy, and time-consuming. Thats why we use the iTero intraoral scanner to collect digital impressions. With this technology, we can scan your entire mouth using a handheld device in as little as two minutes. Furthermore, the result is often far more precise than traditional impressions, allowing us to provide unparalleled treatment planning and outcomes. When used with our JUELL 3D printer, we can provide faster and more accurate service for Invisalign patients and individuals seeking other orthodontic care. Higher accuracy can also mean shorter treatment times for many people. Its just one more way to we offer a superior patient-focused approach.
Self-ligating braces offer patients a more comfortable and convenient way to straighten teeth in comparison to traditional orthodontic options. Designed to exclusively adjust specific teeth that are out of alignment, the archwire slides freely between brackets without universally applying pressure to all teeth, often resulting in less discomfort as the smile is aligned. Furthermore, there is no need for rubber bands or frequent wire adjustments, proper oral hygiene is typically easier to maintain, and clear, smaller brackets are available for enhanced treatment discretion. Ultimately, self-ligating braces can be an exceptionally efficient and effective teeth straightening solution for those seeking an alternative to conventional metal braces.
In order to help our patients fulfill their orthodontic treatment goals, we offer an incentive program using wooden nickels. Patients will receive wooden nickels at their regular visits for each area of excellent cooperation. The nickels can be redeemed for prizes found in a showcase in the reception area. Patients earn one wooden nickel for each of the following:
