To provide you with the best possible orthodontic products as quickly, accurately, and affordably as possible, Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is proud to offer EnvisionTEC, a cutting-edge 3D printing technology that helps improve the design and production process of oral appliances.
Not only does the EnvisionTEC process reduce stress for patients through less-invasive procedures, it also leads to faster treatment and turnaround times.
We’ll start by taking a noninvasive 3D scan or regular impression of your child’s mouth.
We’ll use customized orthodontic treatment software to help minimize cost of standard appliance design and delivery.
Using the Vida 3D printer, we will accurately and efficiently print a model of the appliance.
The final step in which the appliance is made via a 3D printing process – faster and more economically than traditional appliances.
While traditional appliances can take anywhere from 10-12 days from impression to delivery, the EnvisionTEC process enables us to scan, create, and ship your appliance within 3-6 days.
All materials used in the EnvisionTEC process are biocompatible Class I or 3D printing resin designed specifically for the rapid production of orthodontic appliances.
Several factors will impact the price of EnvisionTEC treatment, including how long you need to wear your appliance and how many sets of appliances will be made during the course of your treatment. Contact us for a more accurate estimate that addresses your specific needs.
We’ve found that many insurance companies that serve Atlanta companies cover some if not all of the cost of EnvisionTEC appliances. You’ll have to check with your dental insurance company to see if you’ve got EnvisionTEC coverage.
EnvisionTEC can be used for kids as long as they have lost all their baby teeth. However, whether or not your child should use EnvisionTEC is a matter of maturity, simply because the effectiveness of EnvisionTEC treatment depends greatly on the participation of the patient. As in, whether or not the patients wears their appliances as prescribed. If you don’t think your child will be able to keep their EnvisionTEC appliances in as often as is prescribed, or is at risk of losing them when they take them out for lunch at school, traditional braces may be a better choice.
