Most people don’t think about how quickly orthodontics shifts behind the scenes. However, the truth is that everything, from the way your treatment plan is mapped out to the tools used during your appointment, is constantly changing. It has to because better results, fewer appointments, and more comfort come from keeping up with orthodontic innovations.
That’s the standard Dr. Farnsworth, Dr. Sorensen, and Dr. Brimhall hold themselves to. Our team has built a culture of staying sharp. We don’t do this for the sake of appearances, but because the people walking through the doors in Carlsbad, Clovis, Hobbs, Lubbock, and San Angelo deserve the kind of care that’s current and clear, not outdated or halfway there.
Why Staying Current Matters
Orthodontic care isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. How you get there plays a huge role in how confident you feel during treatment and how strong your results turn out in the end.
When your orthodontist is staying trained on new technology and techniques, you notice. Appointments don’t take as long. Scans are more accurate, and planning is tighter. The care itself feels more focused and efficient. You’re not dealing with outdated tools that slow everything down or make the process more uncomfortable than it needs to be.
This kind of progress shows up in the details. The way brackets are placed. The precision of your Invisalign trays. The accuracy of your scans and even how your next appointment gets mapped out. When those pieces are backed by current training and real technology, your experience starts to feel less like a hassle and more like something that just works.
Where Our Team Trains and Connects
It takes more than good intentions to stay current. Training, collaboration, and real-world experience all play a role in keeping skills sharp and treatment effective. Here’s where the team at Farnsworth Family Orthodontics puts in that work:
National Conferences
Dr. Farnsworth, Dr. Sorensen, and Dr. Brimhall don’t skip the big events. They regularly attend major conferences like the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Annual Session and the Invisalign Summit. These events are where new tools, techniques, and studies are introduced and where our team goes to stay ahead of the curve.
Local Collaboration
It’s not just about national updates, either. The team actively collaborates with nearby orthodontists, oral surgeons, and general dentists to share insight and stay sharp. With this kind of professional connection, it ensures we are always comparing notes, learning what’s working in the real world, and refining techniques.
Internal Training
It’s not just the doctors doing the work. The whole team goes through regular continuing education. Skill-building doesn’t happen once and stop—it happens consistently. Whether it’s a new digital tool or a refined technique for patient care, the team learns together and stays aligned.
The Tools We Trust
Here’s a quick look at a few of the updates that have made a real impact on your experience at Farnsworth Family Orthodontics:
3D Digital Scanning
This technology has replaced traditional impressions in many cases. It’s faster, more comfortable, and delivers far more precise data for your treatment planning.
Invisalign Advancements
Invisalign trays today are more accurate and comfortable than they were even a few years ago. Thanks to digital design and improved materials, you get better results with less hassle.
Laser Procedures
While not new to the field, laser treatments like gingivectomies have become more accessible in-office. When needed, these can be done right here and tailored case by case, and no outside referrals are required.
Beta Testing New Tools
Before any tool or tech is rolled out to patients, the team pilots it internally. That means staff members try it first, look for strengths and flaws, and only move forward if it adds something meaningful to your care. The goal is to move you closer to real improvements that make your appointments easier and your results even better.
Choosing What’s Worth It
Not everything new is automatically better. That’s why our doctors don’t just chase what’s trending. Before anything is added to the practice, they take a close look at clinical research, long-term results, and feedback from their network of orthodontic peers. They ask the important questions:
- Does this make treatment faster or more efficient?
- Will it improve patient comfort?
- Can it increase precision without adding unnecessary complexity?
Only when a tool checks all those boxes do they move forward. Even then, they test it thoroughly before introducing it to patients.
How You Stay in the Loop
You’ll never be in the dark about your treatment options. The team at Farnsworth Family Orthodontics keeps you informed from day one. They explain your options clearly during one-on-one consultations and walk you through exactly how each tool or treatment works. You might also see updates on their social media pages or the monitors inside the office. Either way, you’re not guessing what’s going on; you’re part of the conversation.
Whether you’re getting Invisalign, metal braces, or a combination of treatments, you will understand why it was recommended and how it fits your specific needs.
The Value of Experience and Innovation Working Together
Some practices rely on experience. Others lean hard on new tech. Here, you get both. Dr. Farnsworth, Dr. Sorensen, and Dr. Brimhall bring years of clinical knowledge, and they pair that with ongoing training that never stops. That balance matters because it means your treatment is backed by real skill and updated using the latest proven tools. It also means fewer surprises and more confidence every time you walk through the door.
There’s a reason patients across Carlsbad, Hobbs, Lubbock, Clovis, and San Angelo trust Farnsworth Family Orthodontics with their smiles, and it’s because the care is consistent, thoughtful, and always moving forward.
You Deserve Orthodontic Care That Keeps Up
When you’re trusting someone with your smile, you want to know they’re not guessing or using outdated methods just because they’re familiar. You want a team that’s still learning, still sharpening, and still striving to give you the best results possible.
That’s what you get with Dr. Farnsworth, Dr. Sorensen, and Dr. Brimhall at Farnsworth Family Orthodontics. If you’re in Carlsbad, Clovis, Hobbs, Lubbock, or San Angelo and want to feel confident that your care is based on today’s best practices, this is your team.
