iTero™ Digital Impressions offers a more comfortable, accurate, and efficient alternative to traditional putty impressions. Using a handheld wand, it captures detailed 3D images of your teeth in minutes, ideal for Invisalign and clear aligners.
This non-invasive procedure eliminates the discomfort of goopy putty, providing real-time on-screen visualization for immediate adjustments. The digital scans are sent directly to the lab, enabling quicker treatment planning and faster results, enhancing your overall orthodontic experience.
Panoramic X-ray imaging is a type of technology that allows our team to capture up to a 360-degree view of your teeth and the surrounding jaw structures. A panoramic X-ray will allow the orthodontist to be able to view the neck, head, and jaw as a whole image which is much easier for identifying impacted teeth and cysts as well as making better diagnoses overall.
A cephalometric X-ray is similar to a panoramic X-ray in operation. They both circle the head, creating a full X-ray with no need to insert anything into your mouth. Cephalometric X-ray images are similar to panoramic X-rays in that they both create full X-rays of the mouth. However, they focus on different areas. The panoramic X-ray will focus more on the jaw, while the cephalometric X-ray will focus on the nasal passages and sinuses. They are both beneficial in assessing the need for treatment and the progress of treatment, as well as providing complete images of the mouth, neck, and head.
