Dr. John Warford shares the results of his in-office comparison of two aligner brands to find which achieved more predictable results, fewer refinements, and better patient satisfaction. Quality finishes are the number one goal for all of us; how you get to that goal matters too. Whether you’re traveling across the street or the state, treatment efficiency and “far fewer visits” are the goals shared by everyone, particularly with our patients. Treating with efficiency like this, and its dramatic reduction in chair time provide many interesting opportunities for the creative orthodontist who wants to have greater control over their practice and lifestyle design.

Dr. Alyssa Emory-Carter's orthodontic journey began as a patient herself, under the care of local orthodontist Dr. Bill Robinson. Inspired by her positive experience, she joined Robinson's practice as an associate before realizing her dream of becoming a practice owner. Today, her 5,500-square-foot office in Sherman serves as the primary location, while offices in Gainesville (2,400 square feet) and Bonham (1,300 square feet) are quickly gaining momentum.

The patient exhibited a Class 1 crowded malocclusion, featuring moderate crowding in both the upper and lower jaws. She had a convex facial profile with a slightly retrusive mandible. This was due to a vertical mandibular pattern. Additionally, her smile esthetics were compromised due to a constricted arch form with tapered buccal segments, resulting in poor smile width and dark buccal corridors.

The Artistic Approach to Creating Exquisite Frost Smiles with Advanced Technology Orthodontics, once rooted in traditional practices, is undergoing a profound transformation in the modern era, fueled by a rapid influx of technological advancements. This evolution is significantly reshaping patient expectations, with a growing demand for innovative solutions like clear aligners that offer superior results. In response, orthodontic professionals are compelled to adapt, reinvent, and expand their practice to meet these changing dynamics.
