Advanced Orthodontic Technology in Florida

Cutting-Edge, Timely Orthodontic Care

At Smarter Orthodontics by Dr. Maria Yazji, we believe in using advanced technology in order to give our patients the best orthodontic care. Our state-of-the-art techniques and tools allow us to make your treatment as high-quality, professional and timely as possible. We use advanced technologies to enhance your treatment and overall orthodontic experience.

Planmeca ProMax®: Advanced 3D Imaging Technology

The Planmeca ProMax® is an innovative, advanced technology that uses three different technologies in one machine: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a 3D scan and a 3D picture of your face. With these three elements, Dr. Yazji can get the full picture of your facial structure, including your teeth, jaw and even nerves, in order to assess any orthodontic issues. Some of the many benefits of this technology include:

The Planmeca ProMax® allows Dr. Yazji to create an especially accurate treatment plan. This means that you will receive the best care that suits your unique orthodontic needs.

The Planmeca ProMax® is both an easy machine to use and fast, which means that Dr. Yazji can receive the full 3D image of your face in no time—and you don’t have to spend a long time waiting for your scans to finish.

This imaging technology is both safe and non-invasive. While the machine completes your scan, you will sit in a comfortable chair and place your chin in a padded rest. Nothing goes in your mouth and the machine is not enclosed, making this a comfortable and non-invasive experience. It also uses a very minimal amount of radiation, especially when compared to traditional X-rays.

This advanced technology allows Dr. Yazji and our team to understand the full picture of your treatment, allowing us to more effectively communicate your treatment with you.

Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™

Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ is an exclusive 3D imaging protocol designed to minimize patient radiation exposure, surpassing even the low levels of radiation associated with standard panoramic imaging. The resulting images are accurate and comprehensive while maintaining safer levels of radiation for the patient.

The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging protocol can be used across a diverse spectrum of clinical scenarios, not just orthodontics! It can also be used for implant planning, maxillofacial surgery, as well as airway and sinus examinations.

High resolutions and standards are not always necessary, and Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging is enough to see the nerve channels necessary for dental and orthodontic procedures without the high dosage required to get high-resolution images. This way, patients get the same quality of care in a much safer way.

This technology assists clinicians everywhere in adhering to the ALADA principle (As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable), and limits the dose of radiation that patients, particularly children and teenagers, are exposed to.

The efficacy of this protocol and its associated benefits have been rigorously examined and scientifically validated in numerous studies. We’re able to achieve the same diagnostic results with a much lower radiation dose, which means we can treat patients efficiently while keeping them safe.

VPro™: High Frequency Device

At Smarter Orthodontics by Dr. Maria Yazji, we use VPro™ to accelerate your Invisalign® orthodontic treatment. This high-frequency vibration device helps make your teeth move even faster during orthodontic treatment. It also helps your aligners sit more properly on your teeth. Some if its benefits include:

The VPro™ can decrease your treatment time by almost 50%!

The high frequency vibration (HFV) advanced technology causes no pain or side effects. It is a gentle yet effective solution to accelerating your orthodontic treatment.

The VPro™ device sits over your teeth and aligners and stimulates your gums and teeth, helping your teeth to move faster. You only have to use the device five minutes a day to see results.

While its primary use is to accelerate your treatment, the device’s high frequency vibration also helps to reduce any discomfort.

The device is portable, and you take it home with you to make your five minutes a day easy and convenient.

Using this app on your phone, you can track your VPro™ treatment.

Express Lane Services: AcceleDent® And PROPEL®

At Smarter Orthodontics by Dr. Maria Yazji, we know that you want to spend as little time in orthodontic treatment as possible. That’s why we offer Express Lane Services, featuring AcceleDent® and PROPEL® technologies. This advanced technology helps to speed up your treatment time. The two services include:

AcceleDent®

AcceleDent® is a hands-free device that uses gentle vibrations to stimulate bone, which helps make your teeth move faster. Some of its benefits include:

AcceleDent® can make your teeth move up to 50% faster, meaning you spend less time in orthodontic treatment.

The gentle vibrations help to decrease any discomfort you may experience during treatment.

You can use this device whether you have traditional metal braces, lingual braces or Invisalign®.

This device is easy to use! Just insert the mouthpiece into your mouth and bite down. It’s hands-free, which means you don’t even need to hold it while you use it. You only need to use the device for 20 minutes a day in the convenience of your own home.

PROPEL®

PROPEL® helps make your treatment as efficient as possible by stimulating the bone around your teeth, which helps move your teeth into their ideal position more quickly. Its benefits include:

This treatment’s main benefit is its effect on your treatment time, as PROPEL® can reduce your treatment time by 62%.

PROPEL® is completed in our office. The device creates micro-osteoperforations (MOPs), also known as tiny perforations, to stimulate the bone around your teeth. This is a minimally invasive treatment with little discomfort and no downtime for recovery. It only requires a few treatments total.

This advanced technology works no matter which orthodontic treatment you’re undergoing: traditional metal braces, Invisalign® or lingual braces.
