Transform Your Smile

Ready for a smile makeover, but nervous about what the results will look like? Digital Smile Design projects the aesthetic outcome of your procedure, so you know exactly what to expect. It’s about time you got the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

What Is Digital Smile Design?

Dental Smile Design (DSD) is the most modern, patient centered approach to designing a custom smile. Determining the correct position, shape, and color of your teeth starts with an analysis of your facial features via state-of-the art digital technology. Once the blueprint of your smile is designed in specialized software, a 3D mock up can be placed within minutes so you can test drive your smile. This simulation allows Dr. Su to more thoroughly discuss the outcome of treatment, while you can visualize the life-changing effects of your new smile before treatment even begins.

The Digital Smile Design Process

To begin, Dr. Su will have a thorough conversation with you regarding your smile goals. She'll then follow up with a comprehensive exam to understand your oral and whole-body health needs.

Next, Dr. Su will take the necessary documentation for the Digital Smile Design (DSD) protocol. This includes taking pictures, 3D scanned images, and video of your facial motions in order to understand the symmetry of your facial features and the harmony of your smile.

Based on this information, Dr. Su will work with the Digital Smile Design lab to construct a model of your smile. Once you have been able to test drive your new smile, you will be able to finalize a more precise treatment plan that is facilitated by the DSD simulation.

Benefits of Digital Smile Design

Digital Smile Design technology has benefits for both patient and clinician, as it makes the treatment suggestions extremely easy to envision. Many of us are anxious about changing the appearance of our smile, even if for the better, as it can change our appearance. 

Digital Smile Design allows you to experience a test drive of a new smile. No wax mold or photography can match that, and it’s one of the best uses of the latest 3D printing technology.

  • No surprises when it comes to the results of dental intervention.
  • Complete personalization based on your unique smile.
  • More transparency between the Dr. and patient in expected outcomes
  • Feel more confident in treatment by seeing the end result

Overbites

An overbite is when your top teeth overlap too much over your bottom teeth. Invisalign is a great option for fixing these alignment problems.

Underbites

Underbites mean your bottom teeth stick out over your top ones, and Invisalign is usually a viable option to address this. In more severe cases, you may need some additional treatments as well.

Crossbites

When your bottom and top teeth do not come together correctly to form a bite, this is called a crossbite. It can be caused by tooth misalignment or even a jaw issue, but Invisalign can help improve your bite tremendously.

crowded teeth

Teeth will tend to shift and get crowded with time.  This can be especially accentuated with lower teeth.  By correcting the crowding and shifting, the bite can be better aligned and protected and cleaning can be much easier.

spacing, crowding, and narrow arches

In this case example, the patient had spacing between his upper front teeth, crowding between his lower teeth, and narrow arches.  Invisalign is a revolutionary tool for correcting all three issues.

Over-eruption of teeth

Teeth can not only crowd closer together, but they can also shift vertically out of alignment.  Invisalign can re-align teeth not only for optimal esthetics, but also to create a more balanced and protected bite.
