Tools That Raise the Standard
Orthodontic careis constantly advancing, and our team makes it a point to keep up! At Delplanche Orthodontics, we’ve invested in technology that helps improve comfort, accuracy, and efficiency for every patient we treat.
Here’s what you’ll find in our Lake Oswego and Beaverton offices:

- Digital Records & Scheduling:Secure, streamlined systems help keep your treatment organized and on track.
Each of these tools plays a role in making your visit smoother and more precise, but technology alone doesn’t shape the experience. Up next, we’ll show you how our team keeps their skills sharp through hands-on learning and ongoing education.

Next, we’ll take a closer look at how this knowledge translates into real-world improvements through hands-on team training and thoughtful treatment planning.

Technology and education don’t stop with the doctor. Every member of the teamat Delplanche Orthodontics plays a part in bringing modern care to patients across Lake Oswego and Beaverton. That’s why continued learning happens at every level of the practice.
Here’s how we keep the entire team up to speed:

How New Tools Make the Cut
Not every new gadget earns a spot in our treatment rooms. At Delplanche Orthodontics, technologyisn’t added for novelty. It has to serve a clear purpose and improve the care we deliver.
Does it improve accuracy?
Before adopting anything new, we look at how it supports precision. If a tool enhances the way we plan or carry out treatment, it’s worth considering.
Does it improve comfort?
We evaluate how a new system or product will impact the patient’s experience. From tray fit to scan time, comfort matters.
Does it streamline care?
Technology should help appointments run smoothly, reduce delays, and make treatment more efficient overall.
Does it hold up over time?
We only adopt tools that have been tested, trusted, and proven to perform. If it doesn’t meet that standard, we don’t use it.
That careful approach means every piece of technology in our Lake Oswego and Beaverton offices is there to support a better patient experience. Up next, we’ll break down what all of this means for the people sitting in the chair.
What This Means for You
Staying current makes every part of your experience as a patient more efficient, more personalized, and more comfortable. At Delplanche Orthodontics, the work happening behind the scenes shows up in the way treatment feels from the very first visit.
Shorter Appointments
Digital tools speed up the processof taking records, planning treatment, and making adjustments (so you spend less time in the chair).
More Flexible Options
With tools like Invisalign® and smaller brackets, patients have more choicesthat fit their lifestyle, schedule, and preferences.
Better Results, Backed by Data
From the iTero® scan to the final retainer, every phase is guided by accurate, up-to-date systemsthat support better outcomes. That includes our new 3D-printed retainers, crafted with precision and comfort in mind (no impressions needed!)
