Ever wonder how your orthodontist knows about new braces before they even hit the market? Well, it’s a lot of behind-the-scenes learning, testing, and teamwork. Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey at Facing the Future Orthodontics are always digging into what works best for real people in Riverhead and East Hampton. Curious how it all comes together? Let’s take a closer look and show you how staying current keeps care fresh.
Learning Never Left the Building
Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey are always in learning mode because orthodontics keeps changing, and they like to stay a step ahead. Whether it’s picking up new techniques at national conferences or leading conversations as a Damon mentor and ALOA (American Lingual Orthodontic Association) president, they’re constantly sharpening their skills to bring the best of the best back to Riverhead and East Hampton.
So what does all that studying mean for you?
- Quicker treatment options that don’t drag on
- Tools and appliances that are more comfortable to wear
- More choices that actually fit your lifestyle (and your calendar)
But it’s not just about what they know; it’s how the whole team works together to make it happen. Let’s talk about that next.
Smart Teams Make Smoother Appointments
It’s not only Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey who are staying on top of the latest info, though. The whole crew at Facing the Future Orthodontics is, too! From greeting you at the front desk to checking your wires or scanning your aligners, every team member is trained to work with the newest tools and systems. Here’s what that looks like behind the scenes:
Training That Sticks
Staff meetings are where the team dives into new workflows, tests updated tech, and shares what’s working best for patients.
Hands-On, Not Just Head Knowledge
When new tools come in (like upgraded scanners or a fresh aligner system), our team tries them out first, so they’re ready to roll when it’s your turn in the chair.
Everyone on the Same Page
With regular team syncs and feedback built into our routine, patients never feel like they’re explaining things twice. Your experience stays consistent, clear, and easy.
Now that the team’s ready, let’s talk about the tools themselves—because the tech we use is anything but standard.
Tech That Talks Your Language
Orthodontic treatment looks a lot different than it did even five years ago, and that’s no accident! Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey hand-pick tools that make treatment faster, more precise, and a lot more convenient for busy families in Riverhead and East Hampton. These upgrades are built to make each step smoother from day one.
Some of the standout tools you’ll find in our office include:
- iTero Digital Scanner – Say goodbye to goopy impressions. This scanner captures 3D images in seconds with zero mess!
- DentalMonitoring App – With weekly photo check-ins from home, patients cut back on in-person visits while staying closely connected with our team.
- Damon Braces – Available in both standard metal and clear ceramic, these self-ligating brackets skip the elastic ties for a more comfortable fit and fewer appointments.
- InBrace Hidden Treatment – Braces that go behind your teeth, not in front of them—so you get the benefit without the show.
- Spark, Angel, and uLab Aligners – We offer a range of clear aligners to fit your needs, including custom in-house trays made right here.
Tools are only part of the picture, though. The real advantage comes from how those tools let us adapt your treatment in real time, without missing a beat. Let’s take a closer look.
Customization That Moves With You
No two smiles follow the same script. That’s why Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey use smart tools that allow for real-time updates as your smile takes shape.
In-House Aligner Production with uLab
Instead of waiting on outside labs, Facing the Future Orthodontics prints custom aligners right in the office. uLab technology allows Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey to:
- Create aligners quickly and on demand
- Make refinements mid-treatment without hitting pause
- Adjust to changes as they happen, not weeks later
Remote Check-Ins with DentalMonitoring
DentalMonitoring lets patients send weekly smile scans from home using an app and a ScanBox device. These updates help the team:
- Track tooth movement with precision
- Spot issues early and adapt the plan
- Cut down on in-person appointments without losing progress
This combination of in-house tech and remote monitoring gives patients more control and faster results. Next, let’s take a look at why staying close to home might be the smartest move when it comes to choosing your orthodontic team.
