Fresh Orthodontics Provides An Eco-Friendly Experience For Patients and the Planet

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - June 3, 2023 - PRLog -- Dr. Ankush Khanna and his team at Fresh Orthodontics offer a planet-friendly experience patients can feel good about. This Brooklyn, NY orthodontic office has made many planet-conscious choices that level up patient safety and comfort, while decreasing the practice's eco-footprint.

Fewer Chemicals

Modern technology has reduced the amount of chemicals needed for diagnostics and cleaning. So this Park Slope orthodontist uses high-tech systems that greatly decrease daily chemical use:

Digital X-Rays: Digital x-rays don't use any chemicals and they use less radiation. Plus they're more efficient, comfortable, and provide more precise images.

Steam Sterilization: Fresh Orthodontics opts for steam sterilization over chemicals. Steam sterilization uses a hospital-grade autoclave, a system that uses heat, pressure and steam to ensure orthodontic tools don't harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, or fungi.

In-House 3D Printing With Plant-Based Ink: By mid-summer, dental models for retainers will be produced with a state-of-the-art, in-house 3D printer using an ink made with soybean oil which is BPA- and benzene-free, with no VOCs or a chemical odor.

Less Paper & Plastic

Electronic Records, Charts, and Billing - Everything is filed electronically instead of using paper.

Recycled Materials - Many of the disposable items used at Fresh Orthodontics are made of recycled paper or plastic.

BPA-Free - Invisalign, retainers, and appliances are BPA-free.

Saving Resources
Consideration of the water and energy used in day-to-day operations is important to Dr. Khanna and his team. That's why they use:

Dry Vacuum System: Anyone who's received professional oral care has experienced a suction system during their appointment. A wet system creates suction with large amounts of water, while a dry system creates vacuum pressure with air and saves up to 360 gallons of water per day.

Energy Efficiencies: The Fresh Orthodontics office uses LED lights which use less power and emit much less wasted heat energy than traditional lighting.

Extra Safe Radiation Measures
Fresh Orthodontics has gone above and beyond to ensure radiation safety for patients, staff, and all visitors. With a lead-backed x-ray room, Dr. Khanna (https://www.freshorthodontics.com/dr-khanna/) surpasses local state and federal health codes to prevent radiation from scattering throughout the office and beyond. A physicist from Mount Sinai hospital even tested the office using radiation measuring devices and deemed it safe.
