Orthodontic Technology
Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Wolk both use computer generated, bracket placement systems. The customized bracket trays allow for an efficient placement of the patient’s braces. The Orthodontist’s and patient can track their own treatment with computerized imagery. Our patients appreciate the fact their treatment is customized for their own individual smile.
Digital Photographs
Our photographic records are done by digital cameras. This ensures top quality photos, with ease of use for staff and comfort and efficiency for the patient. The photos can be easily viewed by the Doctors and patients, due to our computer networked office.
Networked System
All of our computers can communicate with each other. This enables the Doctor’s and the patient to review any necessary images during the treatment. Patient records can be viewed anywhere from the consult rooms, to the clinic, to the privacy of their own home, via T-Link!

iCat 3D Imaging
Hoffman & Wolk Orthodontics and Wilson Radiographic are very excited to have the opportunity to gather images on our new Cone Beam CAT scan (iCat).
With this new cone beam technology, diagnostic images can be visualized in three dimensions, improving the treatment planning process. The patient seats comfortably in an open air environment and the time it takes to produce these records have decreased significantly, at reduced levels of radiation, along with not requiring chemicals and film. Dr.Hoffman, Dr.Wolk and the technical staff are fully trained by the developers of the iCat: Imaging Sciences International.
