Orthodontics Redefined

Caples and Robinson Orthodontics

TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT DRIVES US AND SETS US apart at Caples and Robinson Orthodontics. Innovation is what drives the world to move forward. At Caples and Robinson Orthodontics, it is our desire to be the forefront of orthodontics in Northeast Louisiana. We work hard to stay on top of new combinations of technology and innovation to help improve our patients’ experience and speed in which we can give them the smile they want. Through these new technologies and innovations, we are now able to treat our patients better, faster and more comfortably than ever before. Orthodontics is not what it was 10 years ago let alone 20 years ago and definitely not what your mom and dad had.

Clear aligner therapy has been around for a little over 20 years. In this time there have been many improvements and changes in the quality of care and the quality of output we have seen with these products. The Spark Aligner System by Ormco has again redefined what can orthodontically be done with clear aligner therapy. At Caples and Robinson Orthodontics, we have been using clear aligners for 15+ years and are excited to say the Spark Aligner System sends heads & shoulders above all others! Instead of straightening teeth with braces and wires… we are now able to get the same quality results with a series of clear aligners to create a custom smile that is just right for you. The Spark Aligner System has been proven to be the best fitting, most durable, and clearest aligner system on the market!

Your Spark adventure begins with a three-dimensional scan of your teeth and your bite. That’s right… no more gooey molds or impressions of your teeth. The digital scan is then uploaded into the Spark software and Drs. Caples and Robinson are able to virtually align your individual teeth to give you the smile that you have always wanted. Your custom smile is then brought to life by the industryleading software that calculates precise tooth movements into a series of clear aligners. Once your tooth movements are approved by our doctors, your personal aligners are manufactured and sent to the office.

At your delivery appointment, we make sure the fit and prescription is perfect. We also placed a few dots of glue (attachments) on very specific teeth to be able to complete the necessary movements to give you the quality result that families expect from Caples and Robinson Orthodontics. Most patients switch their aligners out every seven days. Aligners are taken out to eat and to brush, but need to be worn 22+ hours a day. We traditionally see our patients every 10 to 12 weeks to monitor their progress. The average patient starts with 25 to 30 aligners. Once this first series of aligners is completed, commonly there is a second scan and a refinement series of aligners to get things 100% perfect. The desired results are usually achieved in two series of Spark aligners, averaging 14 to 18 months of treatment time, but we have the ability to do more if needed.

Our newest technology will arrive this summer with the implementation of Dental Monitoring with all Spark aligner patients. Our patients will scan their teeth with the use of their own smart phone from home, office or wherever and will immediately know if the aligners are doing what they should. If there are any issues in the quality of the fit or in the projected tooth movement, our doctors and our patients will immediately be notified and an office visit will be scheduled. This will allow us to ensure the quality results we strive for every day at Caples and Robinson Orthodontics. What does this mean for patients? Fewer office visits, satisfaction to know the product is working the way it is planned, and immediate reassurance that their money has been well spent.

We are again excited to bring the latest innovation & technology in orthodontics to Northeast Louisiana. Call our office to today and come visit one of our five locations and see if the Spark Aligner System is right for you.
