The orthodontic practice of Di Battista Kornbluth Muller leverages the latest technologies in the field.
Invisalign is a treatment technique that uses clear teeth aligners. All permanent teeth must have erupted for this treatment to be used.
Using highly detailed impressions, the laboratory prepares a three-dimensional virtual model of the mouth and of tooth movements based on the treatment plan previously established by our orthodontists. Our orthodontists review and analyze every step of the treatment. When we are satisfied with the virtual treatment, a series of aligners are produced. Each aligner is designed to move the teeth towards their desired position. Aligners must be replaced every 14 days and should be worn at all times, except during meals. These aligners are comfortable and cause less irritation to the cheeks and tongue. Additionally, hygiene is made easier by removable appliances.
We will confirm whether this type of treatment is suitable for you during our first examination.
Snowed in during the infamous Boston blizzard of 2015, Dr. Alfred Griffin III began his research into several recently-published breakthroughs in 3D printing. What he found was game-changing. Based on new developments in the space, he theorized that it might have finally become possible to print a clinically acceptable bracket—something that had never been done before.
Three tireless years of research and development later, Dr. Griffin achieved what had once been impossible: a 3D printed bracket made of ceramic polycrystalline alumina. Orthodontists had talked about creating a 100% personalized, fixed appliance treatment for decades. Now, that vision was about to become a reality.
In 2021, LightForce moved its headquarters from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Burlington, Massachusetts, allowing the company to nearly quadruple its office and production space and make room for its ever-growing team.
