Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are a cornerstone of modern orthodontic care, allowing us to see detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with incredible clarity. Unlike traditional X-rays, which involve higher levels of radiation and slower processing times, digital X-rays are safer, faster, and more precise.
The immediate availability of digital images means Dr. Matt can analyze and diagnose issues on the spot, creating a tailored treatment plan during your appointment. This technology is particularly valuable for identifying hidden orthodontic concerns, such as impacted teeth, jaw alignment issues, or bone health problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. By catching these issues early, we can prevent complications and ensure your orthodontic treatment is as smooth and effective as possible.
Digital X-rays also make your experience more convenient. The quick imaging process reduces the time you spend in the chair, while the enhanced clarity of the images ensures every decision in your treatment is backed by accurate, reliable data. This technology enhances both the precision and safety of your care, giving you peace of mind throughout your orthodontic journey.
iTero Scanner
The iTero scanner has revolutionized the way we capture impressions of your teeth, replacing outdated methods with a faster, more comfortable experience. Instead of using messy putty molds, the iTero scanner employs a small, handheld wand to create a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth and bite. The process is quick, non-invasive, and ideal for patients of all ages.
This advanced scanning technology plays a crucial role in planning treatments like Invisalign, braces, and other orthodontic solutions. By generating high-resolution digital images, the iTero scanner enables Dr. Matt to design a precise, customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. The detailed 3D models also allow us to anticipate how your teeth will move throughout treatment, ensuring that every aligner, wire, or bracket is perfectly suited to your progress.
One of the standout features of the iTero scanner is its ability to show you a virtual preview of your post-treatment smile. During your consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to see the projected results of your treatment, giving you a clear vision of what to expect. This level of transparency builds confidence in the process and excitement about achieving your ideal smile.
