State-of-the-Art Technology
Our office uses cutting-edge technologies, such as SureSmile, Digital 3-D Imaging, Invisalign, and Clear Braces. Our top priority is to provide you the highest level of orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment. We take pride in the fact that we excel with the latest advances in Orthodontics, which have proven to be a contributing factor in our success.

Shorter Treatment Time
We are proud to utilize the Sure Smile® technology in our office. This state-of-the-art technology yields enhanced patient comfort, fewer trips to the office and shorter treatment times. Through 3-D imaging and customizing each patient’s arch wires, the Sure Smile system gives the doctor more control to precisely configure your treatment plan. The Shape Memory alloy wires used in the Sure Smile design are more effective than the traditional arch wires used in conventional braces, allowing for less discomfort, and treatment times reduced by up to 40%.

Digital 3-D imaging
All of our offices are equipped with high resolution digital radiograph machines. Our central office in O’Fallon also has a cutting edge technology i-CAT imaging system. These high tech devices are able to produce crystal clear images with only a fraction of the radiation given off by most machines. For our patients this means that we can keep a closer eye on how the teeth are erupting and diagnose potential problems before they become severe. As the mouth is three dimensional, it is a tremendous advantage to diagnose with 3 dimensional images. As part of your complimentary initial consultation with us, all digital images are offered free of charge.
Invisalign Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth. You can eat and drink what you want and you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth. Many of our patients, who had never considered traditional braces are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign. (+) Click here to learn more about Invisalign Treament
Clear Braces Clarity Braces are the choice you can feel good about. They use the latest technology, so they work fast and look good. Our braces use Self-ligating technology, which removes the need for ligatures, the elastic bands that were used to hold the wire in your braces. This innovation has major advantages. The Clarity SL braces design can help your teeth move faster, make your braces easier to clean, and eliminate the hassle of stained elastics. You can spend less time in the doctor’s chair, and maybe even have fewer visits. And because your teeth can move into position more efficiently, your overall treatment time may be shortened too.

Preventative Care
Many severe orthodontic problems can be prevented if caught early enough. Because of this, we have created a program to monitor the development of children's mouths during their crucial growing years. This program, which includes an initial exam, radiographs and other diagnostic records, regular yearly or six month checkups and any necessary referrals, is offered to you free of charge.
Adult Treatment
Orthodontics is not just for kids anymore. The increasing popularity of orthodontic treatment among adults has encouraged the development of adult friendly treatments such as the high tech SureSmile treatment, or the clear tray aligner Invisalign treatment, clear porcelain braces, and inconspicuous permanent retainers. Bankhead Orthodontics is an adult-friendly office, offering these and other innovative techniques and procedures. It's never too late to treat yourself to a beautiful smile.
Pain Free Payment Plans
At Bankhead, McDermott & Rodabough Orthodontics we have broken down the restrictive barriers of the orthodontic fee. Our new payment plans include easy monthly interest-free payments, no-money-down payments, extended payment plans through 3rd party financing, and family courtesies for families with more than one member in treatment.

Making Braces More Fun
These are not your mother's bulky metal-mouth braces. Braces are getting smaller and less-noticeable, and the space-age wires used today are more flexible and comfortable. Treatment time is shrinking along with the number of adjustment appointments, and colored elastic ligatures make wearing braces more fun. New high-tech functional devices have practically eliminated the need for old-fashioned head-gear. It is an exciting time to be wearing braces. Drs. Bankhead, McDermott and Rodabough implement the latest in materials and techniques to straighten your teeth as comfortably, efficiently and fun as possible.
In House Lab
In orthodontics timing is crucial. Our in-house lab allows us to get important appliances made for our patients in days, hours, or sometimes minutes instead of weeks. Having a highly trained laboratory staff gives us control over the precise details in the fabrication of all our custom made orthodontic appliances.To see what our practice can do for you call us or register online for a free consultation. We look forward to helping you obtain the healthy, functional, comfortable, beautiful smile you've always wanted.
