CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)
To capture a detailed view of the oral cavity and plan orthodontic treatments, we utilize our advanced Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging system. It generates highly detailed, 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures within a few seconds.
Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides a complete 360-degree view, including precise details like jawbone thickness and tooth root positions. Whether you require braces, Invisalign®, or surgical orthodontics, this technology helps us plan and customize your treatment more effectively.
Questions About Dental Technology?
3D Printers for Custom Retainers
After the completion of your orthodontic treatment, you will need to wear retainers to maintain your newly aligned smile. With our advanced, in-office 3D printer, we can create customized retainers that are comfortable to wear and fit snugly over your teeth.
Our team will record digital scans of your oral cavity, which are used to print your removable retainers. In many cases, patients can get retainers on the same day as their final appointment!
iTero® Digital Scanner
Forget the discomfort of conventional goopy impressions! At our dental clinic, we use the iTero® digital scanner, one of the most advanced digital imaging systems available. Using this technology, we can create fast, accurate 3D models of your teeth within just a few minutes.
This digital impression system is ideal for various orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign®, retainers, and more. As soon as the images appear on the screen, we can show you a preview of your future smile, so you can understand what to expect from the treatment outcomes.
