If you haven’t gone to the orthodontist lately because of your aversion to sticky impressions, unpleasant molds, and time-consuming appliance fits, we’d like to introduce you to the state-of-the-art orthodontic technology available today. In order to provide our patients with a more comfortable and efficient orthodontic treatment, Trinity Orthodontics uses cutting-edge technology such as the iTero scanner and CBCT scanner.
iTero 3D Scanner
Those of you who have had to get braces may know the feeling of biting down on a tray of sticky, gooey paste at the orthodontist. This was then used to create a 3D model of your teeth and jaw alignment. Thankfully, we have a much faster and more comfortable way of creating a model of your smile.
At Trinity Orthodontics, we use an iTero scanner. The iTero scanner’s capacity to generate a 3D image in a matter of minutes is a tremendous improvement in orthodontic technology. Within minutes, the scanner can collect thousands of photographs of the mouth, which are then pieced together by its algorithms to generate a 3D image.
There are several advantages to using iTero scanners, such as:
- A more precise and effective treatment plan was provided by Dr. Nelson.
- The patient experience is significantly more comfortable.
- More accurate treatment plans allow for faster, more effective care.
The iTero scanner allows us to provide our patients with a more comfortable and professional experience.
CBCT Scanner
A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner offers improved 3D imaging compared to conventional X-rays or photos. With a CBCT scanner, a cone-shaped beam is used to collect images from every angle. A 3D model of the patient’s teeth, jaw, nerve pathways, and soft tissues is created using these photographs.
The wealth of data made available by this instrument is one of its primary benefits. In order to provide you with the best possible care, we need as much information as possible regarding your dental health and structure. Our ability to identify your orthodontic requirements and develop an individualized treatment plan is greatly enhanced by this state-of-the-art machinery.
With this technology, we can get an exact 3D model of your mouth in a way that doesn’t hurt or make our patients uncomfortable.
Furthermore, no preparation is required, so your visit to our office will be relaxed and stress-free. As a whole, the CBCT scanner is a painless, non-invasive instrument that aids us in determining the best way to improve your smile.
