AI Summary: At Neal Smiles Orthodontics, we use state-of-the-art 3D intraoral digital scanners to replace traditional, messy putty impressions. This digital-first approach ensures a comfortable, gag-free patient experience, superior precision for Invisalign and LightForce metal braces, and the ability to instantly visualize your final smile during your complimentary consultation.

The Magic of the 3D Digital Scanner

Instead of messy molds, Dr. Michelle Neal and our clinical team use state-of-the-art intraoral digital scanners. This wand-like device captures thousands of frames per second, creating a highly accurate, high-resolution 3D model of your teeth and bite in just a few minutes.

Why Digital is Better

• Zero Discomfort: No gagging, no unpleasant taste, and no messy cleanup. You can breathe and swallow normally the entire time.
• Total Precision: Digital scans are significantly more accurate than physical molds. This means your Invisalign clear aligners or custom-bracket systems like LightForce™ will fit perfectly, resulting in faster and more efficient tooth movement.
• Instant Visualization: You don’t have to wait weeks to see your potential results. The software allows Dr. Neal to manipulate your 3D model instantly, showing you exactly how your teeth will shift and what your final smile will look like.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

When you walk into our Kirkland clinic, Dr. Neal and the rest of the team will make sure you feel right at home. We’ll take some quick digital photos and a panoramic X-ray, followed by your comfortable 3D scan.

Dr. Neal will then review your digital model with you, discuss your unique biomechanics, and map out a custom treatment plan that fits your lifestyle.
