Custom 3D Printed Braces
Custom 3D Printed Braces
Custom 3D printed braces use digital scanning and design to create orthodontic appliances shaped to a patient's individual dental and skeletal anatomy. At Jeremy Montrose, DMD, this technology is applied within a broader, physiologic approach to orthodontics that considers not just tooth position, but jaw growth, airway space, and healthy function.
What Custom 3D Printed Braces Address
- Tooth Alignment — crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities in children and adults.
- Jaw Development — supporting healthy growth patterns alongside expansion or functional appliances when appropriate.
- Precision Fit — digitally designed components intended to match each patient's dental structure more closely than off-the-shelf options.
Planning With CBCT Imaging
Dr. Jeremy Montrose, D.M.D., uses CBCT (Cone Beam CT) imaging to evaluate jaw, joint, and airway structure before designing an orthodontic plan. This detailed view helps guide decisions about whether custom 3D printed braces, expansion appliances, or orthopedic growth and remodeling appliances are appropriate for a given patient's needs.
Who Might Consider This Option
- Children in Active Growth — as part of early orthodontic intervention and healthy development strategies.
- Adults Seeking Alignment — as an alternative within Dr. Montrose's range of orthodontic options, including traditional, clear, and white braces.
- Patients With Airway or TMJ Concerns — where orthodontic planning is coordinated with airway- and TMJ-focused evaluation.
