At Enoch & Lamei Orthodontics, we invest in the latest orthodontic technology so your treatment is faster, more comfortable, and more precise. Board-certified orthodontists Dr. Harold Enoch and Dr. Amir Lamei use advanced digital tools at both the Marietta and Roswell offices to plan your treatment with accuracy and keep you informed every step of the way.
TRIOS Digital Impressions
Say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable putty molds. We use the 3Shape TRIOS digital scanner to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite in minutes. The scanner uses a small handheld wand that captures thousands of images as it moves across your teeth — no gagging, no mess, and no waiting for materials to set.
How TRIOS benefits you:
- Comfortable and fast — the scan takes just a few minutes and feels like nothing more than a small camera moving over your teeth
- Highly accurate — digital impressions capture more detail than traditional molds, which means better-fitting appliances and more predictable results
- Instant visualization — you can see a 3D image of your teeth on screen immediately after the scan, helping you understand your treatment plan
- Better treatment planning — Dr. Enoch and Dr. Lamei use the digital models to analyze your bite, simulate tooth movement, and design a precise treatment approach
We use TRIOS scans for braces, clear aligners, and retainer fabrication. The result is appliances that fit better from day one.
Digital Treatment Planning
Every orthodontic case at our practice begins with a thorough digital workup. Dr. Enoch and Dr. Lamei use digital radiographs, 3D models, and computerized analysis to develop your treatment plan before any appliances are placed.
What digital planning means for you:
- Lower radiation — digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film, making them safer for patients of all ages, including children
- Precise diagnosis — high-resolution images let your orthodontist identify problems that may not be visible on older equipment
- Custom treatment — digital tools allow us to map the exact movements each tooth needs to make, creating a plan tailored to your specific case
- Progress tracking — we compare digital records from each visit to monitor how your teeth are responding and make adjustments as needed
Modern Braces and Appliances
Orthodontic technology is not just about scanners and software. The braces and appliances we use have also advanced significantly:
- Smaller brackets — today’s metal braces use brackets that are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than those from even a decade ago
- Self-ligating options — some bracket systems reduce friction and may shorten treatment time and the number of adjustment visits
- Tooth-colored brackets — ceramic braces blend with your teeth for a more discreet look while delivering the same results as metal
- Custom lingual brackets — lingual braces placed behind your teeth are individually designed using digital technology for precise, invisible treatment
- Advanced clear aligners — we use 3M Clarity and Angel Aligners, which are fabricated from your digital scans for a smooth, custom fit
How Technology Makes Your Experience Better
Every piece of technology in our office serves one purpose: making your orthodontic experience as efficient and comfortable as possible.
- Fewer appointments — accurate digital planning and modern appliances mean your treatment stays on track with fewer unexpected visits
- Shorter visits — digital scans replace time-consuming traditional impressions, and modern bracket systems require less chair time at adjustments
- More predictable results — digital treatment planning reduces guesswork and helps your orthodontist anticipate how your teeth will move
- Better communication — when you can see your teeth on screen and understand the plan, you feel more confident about your treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
You may have questions about advanced technology. Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients and families ask.

Absolutely. The TRIOS scanner uses light not radiation to capture images of your teeth. It is completely safe for patients of all ages, including children and pregnant women.
Yes. Digital X-rays use up to 80 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays. They are considered very safe and are an essential part of thorough orthodontic diagnosis.
