iTero Scanner
The iTero scanner is a digital intraoral scanning device that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions that require messy, uncomfortable putty, the iTero scanner creates accurate digital models quickly and comfortably. This advanced technology allows Dr. Bita to develop highly precise orthodontic treatment plans tailored to your unique dental structure.
- The iTero scanner eliminates the need for traditional dental impressions, which can often be messy and uncomfortable. Instead, the scanner uses a small, handheld wand that glides comfortably over your teeth, capturing detailed images without causing discomfort.
- The iTero scanner produces highly accurate 3D digital images of your teeth and gums. This level of precision ensures that your orthodontic appliances, such as Invisalign aligners or braces, are custom-fit to your exact dental anatomy, leading to more effective and efficient treatments.
- With the iTero scanner, you can see real-time images of your teeth on a chairside monitor as the scan is being performed. This immediate visualization allows Dr. Bita to explain your dental condition and treatment options more clearly, helping you understand the benefits of your customized treatment plan.
- Digital impressions captured by the iTero scanner are processed quickly, allowing Dr. Bita to develop and implement your treatment plan without delay. This means you can start your orthodontic journey sooner and achieve your desired results faster.
- By eliminating the need for traditional impression materials, the iTero scanner contributes to a more environmentally friendly practice. The digital process reduces waste and supports sustainable dentistry.
Digital X-Rays
We leverage advanced digital X-ray technology to provide our patients with the highest standard of care. Digital X-rays, including Panorex and Cephalometric (Ceph) X-rays, are essential tools in diagnosing orthodontic issues and planning effective treatments. These state-of-the-art imaging technologies offer numerous benefits over traditional X-rays, enhancing both the accuracy and efficiency of our services.
Digital X-rays are a modern alternative to traditional film-based X-rays. They use electronic sensors to capture detailed images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues, which are then displayed on a computer screen. This allows for immediate viewing and analysis, enabling Dr. Bita to diagnose and plan treatments with precision.
Panorex X-Rays
Panorex X-rays, also known as panoramic X-rays, provide a comprehensive view of the entire mouth in a single image. This includes all teeth, the upper and lower jaws, surrounding structures, and tissues. Panorex X-rays are particularly useful for:
- Assessing the overall alignment and health of the teeth and jaw
- Detecting impacted teeth, cysts and other abnormalities
- Evaluating growth and development in children and adolescents
- Planning complex orthodontic treatments, such as braces or Invisalign
Cephalometric (Ceph) X-Rays
Cephalometric X-rays, often referred to as Ceph X-rays, provide a side-view of the head, focusing on the relationship between the teeth, jaw, and skull. This type of X-ray is crucial for:
- Analyzing the alignment and positioning of the teeth and jaw
- Assessing the growth patterns of the face and jaw
- Diagnosing bite issues, such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Planning surgical orthodontic treatments or corrective jaw surgery
Smile Preview
We believe that seeing is believing. Our innovative Smile Preview software allows you to visualize the transformative results of your orthodontic treatment before it even begins. Using advanced imaging technology, this software generates a detailed 3D simulation of how your teeth will move over time and what your smile will look like once the treatment is complete. This powerful tool not only provides a clear representation of your treatment progress but also helps you set realistic expectations and stay motivated throughout your orthodontic journey.
The Smile Preview software is an integral part of our personalized treatment planning process. During your initial consultation, Dr. Bita will use the software to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. By capturing precise digital impressions with our iTero scanner and integrating them into the Smile Preview software, we can show you a step-by-step progression of your teeth alignment. This visual roadmap ensures that you are fully informed and confident in your treatment plan, knowing exactly what to expect at every stage. With Smile Preview, achieving your dream smile has never been more transparent or attainable.
