Our process

Your treatment process begins with our 3D iTero scanner, when we take an image of your teeth and jaw during your initial consultation. Dr Hou will then map out your treatment plan and future teeth movements. At this time, you’ll get a glimpse of what your teeth may look like after treatment.

We then use those digital images to create 3D-printed brackets that are smaller and more discreet than traditional braces. We can even color-match them to your teeth.
