Specializing in In-House Clear Aligners

Currently Dr. Jay is limiting his practice to those patients who want to be treated with aligners. Dr. Jay started with Invisalign when it was introduced in 2000, but since 2017 he has been making clear aligners “in-house”. He uses 3Shape 3D intraoral scanner to capture computer images of the teeth and jaws (no more gooky impressions!). 3Shape OrthoAnalyzer software is used to design the aligners, and Formlabs 3D printers to make plastic models for each custom designed aligner stage.

The advantages to the patient are:

Greater efficiency of treatment since Dr. Jay personally designs each aligner (with the assistance of AI in the 3Shape software), utilizing my 25 years of experience with aligners, as opposed to some technician that has never seen the patient nor ever actually treated a patient.
Quicker turnaround from taking records to starting treatment.
A LOWER PRICE point because third party lab fees, which are quite high, are bypassed.

Not all malocclusions are efficiently treated with aligners because of the mechanical limitations of a removable appliance. The only way to know for sure if you are a candidate is to schedule a free consultation in one of our offices.

Aligner therapy advantages include being more esthetic than conventional braces, oral hygiene is easier to maintain, and there are no diet restrictions for the patient (as there are with conventional braces) since the aligners are taken out to eat.

What our patients have to say about us:

I wanted to thank you all for being such wonderful professionals at what you do. You all have been so kind over the years and I appreciate all you have done for me and my smile!

I became a resident of John Croyle’s Big Oak boys ranch in the mid 1980s. In 1990, I met Dr Jay for my first appointment to have braces put on for an early phase of treatment – my teeth were in really bad shape! Later I had full braces to complete the treatment. Dr Jay always stayed on me about taking care of my teeth and braces because I was a little rough on them, but I knew he cared about me as a person, and we developed a bond. In high school I would frequently go to his house or office and help do yard work. He was a very important role model to me during this time of my life, and a very impressive father figure. After graduating from high school, I joined the military, moved away, and had a family. I moved back to Gadsden 13 years later and needed some minor aligning since I had been without retainers for quite a while. Now my teeth are perfect because of the work Dr Jay has done over the years. Dr Jay is still a father figure in my life. He still takes care of me like he did when I was a child. I couldn’t more pleased to have Dr Jay in my life as a friend and as a role model. Thanks, Dr Jay, for all that you have done and will continue to do.

I really learned a lot about dental work. Your office is the cleanest thing I’ve ever seen. The nurses were so very nice to us.

Your office is so awsome.
