Advanced Technology
At Bernhardt & Smith Orthodontics, we believe exceptional results start with advanced technology. By combining decades of experience with modern tools, Dr. Melissa Bernhardt and Dr. Blair Smith are able to deliver more precise diagnoses, efficient treatment, and a more comfortable patient experience.
Our technology allows us to plan with accuracy, monitor progress closely, and ensure your smile transformation is both effective and predictable.
How Does Technology Improve Orthodontic Treatment?
Modern orthodontic technology enhances every stage of your care, from your first consultation to your final results. With digital tools and advanced imaging, we can create more personalized treatment plans while improving comfort and efficiency.
This means:
- More accurate diagnosis
- Faster, more efficient treatment planning
- Improved patient comfort
- Better communication and understanding of your progress
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jaw structure, allowing us to detect issues that are not visible during a standard exam.
Compared to traditional X-rays, digital imaging:
- Uses significantly less radiation
- Produces instant, high-quality images
- Is more environmentally friendly
This technology helps us make informed decisions about your care while prioritizing your safety.
iTero Digital Scanner
The iTero scanner allows us to create highly accurate 3D digital models of your teeth without the need for messy impressions. This process is fast, comfortable, and provides immediate results.
With iTero technology, we can:
- Capture precise digital scans of your teeth
- Show a simulation of your potential results
- Improve accuracy for Invisalign and other treatments
- Streamline the treatment process
This advanced scanning system enhances both comfort and precision.
Digital Photography
We use high-resolution digital photography to document your smile and track your progress throughout treatment. These images allow us to monitor changes over time and ensure your results meet our high standards.
Digital photography also helps patients better understand their treatment and see the transformation of their smile.

Our investment in advanced technology is part of our commitment to providing a better overall experience for every patient. From shorter appointments to improved accuracy, every detail is designed with your comfort and results in mind.
At Bernhardt & Smith Orthodontics, technology is not just about innovation; it’s about delivering care you can trust.
