Straightening Out The Kids
Wednesday July 18th, 2012

For an orthodontist there's nothing better than seeing someone get their braces off. Of course that's because they decided to get them on in the first place:-). And for this proud papa, putting braces on his twins, Sam and Seri, was an awesome event. They even brought along four of their friends who got braces on the same day.

Many orthodontic issues are passed from generation to generation so it's not uncommon to find the same problems parents faced in their kids' faces. Wonder what Dr. Paquette's teeth were like when he was a kid. Maybe we'll find an old photo and show you in an upcoming post.

Charlotte Orthodontist Says No Need For Goopy Impressions
Tuesday March 6th, 2012

We’ve got a new way to impress you: Invisalign impressions using our new iTero oral scanner!

The iTero 3D scanner is a new way that we’re using high technology to provide the highest level of care for our patients.  This state of the art digital impression technology enables us to bypass the traditional goopy impressions and instead wave the wand of the scanner to comfortably produce a virtually perfect digital image of the patient’s teeth.  This scan can be instantly uploaded to the technicians at Align Technology who start producing your Invisalign treatment plan almost immediately.  The seamless integration between our office and Align Technology can cut days off the production time and get you on the way to your new smile faster than ever.  

Our team is loving this new technology to capture all the unique elements of your teeth and mouth in high definition – and our patients love how precisely the aligners fit when the arrive.  Better fit means greater comfort and more precision during treatment.  We think you’ll be impressed too. Check it out when you’re in the office.  

Hail To The Blog
Wednesday February 1st, 2012

Now that we're one month into 2012 we decided it was time to add an informative blog to our online communications. After all, Dr. Paquette teaches and trains doctors all over the world and there's always a lot going on in our Mooresville, NC and Charlotte, NC offices. Our blog won't be just about us or even all about your dental health. It will feature stories about our patients and interesting facts about everything from orthodontics to life in NC.

If you're one of our patients and you have a fun, informative or interesting story about your smile, life with braces or something going on in our area that you think our friends and patient family would be interested in, be sure to let us know. You can leave a comment here, shoot us an email or give us a call.
