Insignia Custom Braces

After years of research and development a next generation of customized braces has finally become available. As a member of one of the leading invitation-only orthodontic research and product development groups in the United States, our input and feedback played an important role in the development of this new cutting edge orthodontic treatment option.

Unlike standard orthodontic appliances manufactured to treat a wide variety of patients, these customized braces are designed specifically for you. Combining the latest in 3D imaging and precision manufacturing within fractions of a millimeter, our doctors now can provide the ideal treatment to straighten your teeth and improve your smile.

The benefits are GREATER COMFORT, MORE EFFICIENT TREATMENT and a RADIANT SMILE that reflects your individuality.

Our orthodontists are two of only a very select number of clinicians worldwide who are certified to use and apply this new technology.

How does it work?

1) A lab will digitally construct a virtual model of your teeth using a specialized 3D scanner.

2) Computer software than integrates these precision images to calculate your optimal bite and smile.

3) A 3D computer image of your customized treatment plan is then constructed and thoroughly reviewed and approved by our orthodontists.
