Orthodontic treatment now a days is not like when parents had treatment.  Everything is done digitally……no more goopy impressions.  We capture the child’s bite and alignment of the teeth using an iTero TM Lumina scanner (that is not an x-ray) and is comfortable and takes only 2 minutes and you can see your teeth on the screen in front of you to discuss with Dr. Knight.
