Technology
Where advanced technology meets expert care
At Ferris Orthodontic Group, technology isn't about impressing you—it's about treating you better. More accurate diagnostics. More precise planning. A comfortable experience from start to finish. Every tool we use is carefully selected to deliver the highest level of care possible.
Why technology matters in orthodontic care
Better information allows us to see what others can't
Advanced imaging allows us to evaluate not just your teeth, but the entire facial structure, leading to more precise, complete treatment.
Precision planning means fewer surprises
Digital planning lets us map your entire treatment in advance, reducing guesswork and improving efficiency for optimal outcomes.
Modern care without the discomfort
Digital scans and advanced tools eliminate many of the uncomfortable steps traditionally associated with orthodontics.
A closer look at what we use and why
CBCT 3D imaging
Our cone beam computed tomography system gives our doctors a full three-dimensional view of your teeth, bone structure, jaw joints, airway, and surrounding anatomy in a single scan. Rather than looking at teeth in isolation, this technology allows us to evaluate everything together and plan treatment that supports not just your smile but your overall facial health and long-term stability.
Three-dimensional facial photography
Paired with our CBCT imaging, 3D facial photography captures how your teeth relate to your lips, face, and profile in a way that traditional photos simply cannot. This comprehensive view helps us design treatment that enhances your smile in a way that looks natural and harmonious with your unique features.
Itero Intraoral scanners
Our state-of-the-art intraoral scanners create a highly accurate digital model of your teeth and bite in just minutes, with no messy impressions or uncomfortable trays. These precise 3D scans are the foundation for everything from custom aligner fabrication to digital treatment planning, and they allow us to show patients a preview of their projected outcome before treatment ever begins.
Customized digital braces and bracket systems
Every bracket system we use is planned and set up digitally, allowing our doctors to customize the positioning of each bracket to an exceptional degree of precision. This approach supports more efficient tooth movement, more comfortable treatment, and outstanding results, even in the most complex cases.
Invisalign clear aligner technology
Ferris Orthodontic Group is an Invisalign Sapphire Provider, the highest provider tier, reflecting extensive experience with clear aligner treatment. Dr. Ferris also lectures internationally on complex Invisalign cases and is among a select group of orthodontists who incorporate Invisalign into treatment involving orthognathic (jaw) surgery. With advanced digital planning and deep clinical expertise, we can treat cases ranging from simple to highly complex with precision and efficiency.
Soft tissue and all-tissue laser therapy
We use Solea CO2 and Gemini diode lasers for soft tissue procedures, as well as the Solea system for all-tissue applications. Laser therapy allows us to perform procedures like laser recontouring, frenectomies, and gingivectomies with greater precision and significantly less discomfort than traditional methods, supporting a more comfortable treatment experience overall.
In-office teeth whitening
We offer in-office whitening to help patients complete their smile transformation once orthodontic treatment is finished. Having this option available in-house means patients can achieve a beautifully bright result as the natural final step in their care, without needing to visit another provider.
What this means for you

A diagnosis that sees the full picture
Our advanced imaging captures your teeth, bone, airway, and facial structure together, allowing our doctors to diagnose beyond the surface. The result is a treatment plan built around your entire facial health, not just teeth alignment—delivering more stable, functional, and lasting results.
Treatment designed specifically for you
No two smiles, and no two treatment plans, are the same. Every detail, from bracket placement to aligner design, is customized to your anatomy, your bite, and your goals. The result is a plan that is as individualized as you are—and built to deliver the best possible outcome.

A more comfortable experience at every step
Your comfort is built into every part of the experience. Digital scanning eliminates the need for messy impressions, laser technology can make certain procedures gentler, and precise planning helps treatment feel smoother and more predictable from start to finish. Every detail is considered with your comfort in mind, because feeling at ease throughout your care matters just as much as the final result.
Know what to expect before you begin
Digital treatment planning allows you to preview your expected results before treatment begins, bringing greater clarity, confidence, and predictability to the entire process. In many cases, we can show you a digital preview of your projected outcome, helping remove uncertainty and giving you a clearer understanding of where treatment is headed. From day one, you can move forward feeling informed, confident, and comfortable with the plan.
