Interview with an Insignia doctor: David M. Sarver.
Insignia (Ormco, Orange, Calif) offers custom-designed orthodontic appliances via fully interactive software. It is a precise, start-to-finish process that works with Damon, Inspire ICE, and conventional appliances. Insignia software incorporates the clinician's treatment plan into a virtual 3-dimensional model of each patient's ideal occlusion and delivers a complete custom solution: patient-specific brackets, precision (computer-assisted) bracket placement, and custom wires to eliminate time-consuming adjustments in all phases of treatment. Dr David Sarver, an orthodontist in Birmingham, Alabama, has treated patients with the Insignia technique since 1997.
