What is Airway Centric?  For many years, dentistry – including orthodontics, has focused on dental health, the care and repair of teeth and supporting structures.

The old moulding technique is quite messy.  The patient is forced to sit with a large rubber-like material in the mouth for fifteen minutes.  Many patients choke, gag, and experience great discomfort. The digital technique is more comfortable since it scans the teeth, which only requires a few minutes of the patient’s time.
  2. No gagging. As the Intraoral Scanner does not use any moulding, there is nothing to ga

Crooked teeth, more correctly called malocclusions, have reached epidemic proportions in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, approximately 80 percent of American teenagers are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Could it truly be that healthy gums, straight and cavity-free teeth, have become a pr
