For Capitol Hill denizens that are considering Invisalign or braces, life just got a lot easier. The first orthodontic practice actually to be located in Capitol Hill just had its Grand Opening. That practice belongs to Keith B. Wong, DDS, MS, creator of more than 3,000 beautiful smiles for adults and children since 1989. Dr. Wong’s office is situated near the corner of 19th Avenue E. and Mercer Street, across from the Kingfish Café.
The office has been built and equipped using green materials and concepts such as low-consumption LED fixtures, waterless evacuation systems, and digital radiography that does not use chemicals to develop images. Moreover, advanced orthodontic technologies such as Invisalign, intraoral scanning (replacing impressions), and biologically accelerated orthodontics are available. “It was important to us that the design of the office reflect our philosophy of care, which is to employ the most advanced technologies and materials available currently to best serve patients in a personal and individualized way,” says Dr. Wong.
“Biologically accelerated orthodontics is one of the most favorable developments in orthodontics since I began my career. In fact, there are multiple approaches to achieving this goal, each with their particular advantages and disadvantages. Some have the additional benefit of reducing the discomfort associated with tooth movement, while others extend the range of tooth movements possible for patients such as adults. One approach can even modify the type of gums, called the periodontal phenotype, from a more vulnerable type to a more robust type, so there are other, very valuable benefits to some of these approaches.”
If you would like more information about these technologies or this practice, please call Dr. Wong’s office at (206) 812-4494 or email [email protected].
