Team KO’s iTero Element Digital Scanner


Team KO’s iTero Element Digital Scanner – 1st in Southwest Michigan. With the iTero scanner, we can get a complete “scan” of your teeth in no time. It’s a fantastic alternative to traditional “impressions,” especially for Invisalign treatments. 
The benefits to you from the new iTero Element:
➢ Fewer gooey, messy impressions
➢ Easy breathing and normal swallowing during the scan
➢ Comfortable way to get the most accurate 3D images of all your teeth
➢ Improves the precision fit of your Invisalign trays
➢ It’s Fast! - Your iTero scan takes just about 5-10 minutes
Investing in the latest technology to offer our patients enables Kalamazoo Orthodontics to easily produce that lovely, natural smile you desire with a safe and even more comfortable experience.

Well, that's a wrap sports fans!

Well, that's a wrap sports fans! New smiles unveiled for Aria Kleber (she shoots, she scores!), golfer Lauren Koch, and K-Wings fan Shaylyn Johns. All from Kalamazoo Orthodontics.

Lunch-N-Learn

Thank you to Tony Zobro and our friends from Hu-Friedy for an enjoyable lunch-and-learn for our staff on instrument sterilization!


WYRED Cheek Expanders

One of Dr. Bowman's first designs for orthodontics - Wyred Cheek Expanders. With the popularity of celebrity "mouth guard" talks and challenges, we've yet to see one of them with our retractors . . . Team KO has used these concept for a couple of decades as Dr. Bowman created them for more stable access during the placement of orthodontic braces.
