The Digital Orthodontist
How Dr. Larson's all-digital approach delivers faster, better, more predictable results.
What Does "Digital Orthodontist" Actually Mean?
Think of it like GPS navigation vs. guessing directions. Traditional orthodontics makes small corrections along the way, reacting to how teeth move. Dr. Larson maps the entire route first — then executes it with custom-fabricated brackets made specifically for your teeth.
Every single case at Larson Family Orthodontics begins with a 3D digital scan. Dr. Larson designs your final smile position on a computer. Custom brackets are then manufactured to fit only your teeth. Treatment executes precisely — no guesswork, no wasted visits.
The 5-Step Digital Workflow
3D Digital Scan
We take a precise 3D scan of your teeth — no messy impressions, no discomfort. This scan becomes the foundation of your entire treatment plan.
Digital Treatment Planning
Dr. Larson uploads your scan to advanced planning software and designs your final smile position down to 0.05mm precision. You can see your projected result before treatment even begins.
Custom Bracket Fabrication
Your treatment plan is sent to LightForce, where 3D-printed brackets are manufactured specifically for your teeth. No two sets of brackets are alike.
Precise Execution
Because brackets are custom-made, placement is exact. Teeth move along the planned path efficiently — fewer corrections, fewer appointments, faster results.
Remote Monitoring
Between appointments, you use the Grin app to take photos of your teeth from home. Dr. Larson reviews them digitally and only calls you in when something needs attention.
