iTero Scanner

At iSmile Orthodontics, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and efficient orthodontic care available. That’s why we’ve incorporated the cutting-edge iTero scanner into our practice, a revolutionary tool that has transformed the way we approach dental impressions and treatment planning. The iTero scanner is a testament to our dedication to embracing innovative technology for the benefit of our patients’ smiles.

The iTero scanner utilizes state-of-the-art digital technology to capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional impression methods that can be messy, uncomfortable, and less precise, the iTero scanner ensures a more pleasant and effective experience. The scanner’s wand glides over the contours of your mouth, capturing thousands of images per second. These images are then pieced together to create an exact digital model of your mouth.

Some of the benefits of iTero digital impressions include:

  • Comfort & Convenience — Say goodbye to the discomfort of traditional gooey dental impression materials. The iTero scanner provides a mess-free, non-invasive scanning process that enhances patient comfort.
  • Speed & Efficiency — The digital impressions are captured in minutes, significantly reducing the time you spend in the chair. This efficiency allows for quicker turnaround times in starting your treatment plan.
  • Improved Accuracy — The high precision of iTero digital impressions leads to better fitting aligners and appliances, ensuring more effective treatment outcomes.
  • Visualize Your Smile Transformation — One of the most exciting features of the iTero scanner is its ability to simulate your orthodontic treatment outcome. This visualization tool allows you and your orthodontist to see the potential results before even starting treatment, providing a clear and motivating picture of your future smile.
  • Seamless Integration With Invisalign — For those considering or undergoing Invisalign treatment, the iTero Scanner seamlessly integrates with Invisalign’s technology. The accurate digital model it creates is essential for designing your custom aligners, ensuring a perfect fit and efficient progress toward your dream smile.

By incorporating this digital scanning system, we not only enhance the patient experience but also improve the accuracy and effectiveness of our treatments. Our team is trained and experienced in maximizing the benefits of the iTero scanner, ensuring that your journey to a straighter, healthier smile is as smooth and successful as possible.

Digital X-Rays

At iSmile Orthodontics, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality of care using the most advanced technologies available. One of the cornerstones of our state-of-the-art orthodontic practice is our use of digital X-rays. This modern approach to imaging offers numerous benefits over traditional X-ray methods, ensuring that your orthodontic treatment is not only effective but also as safe and convenient as possible.

One of the most significant advantages of digital X-rays is the substantial reduction in radiation exposure. Studies have shown that digital X-rays produce up to 80% less radiation compared to traditional film-based X-rays. This dramatic decrease minimizes the risk associated with radiation exposure, making the process safer for patients of all ages.

Digital X-rays provide immediate results, eliminating the waiting time associated with film development. The images are displayed on a computer screen just minutes after being taken, allowing for a more efficient review and diagnosis process. Moreover, the quality of digital X-ray images is superior to traditional X-rays, offering clearer, more detailed views of teeth, bones, and supporting tissues. This enhanced image quality aids in accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

Unlike traditional X-rays, which require chemical processing, digital X-rays are environmentally friendly. They do not involve the use of harmful chemicals, reducing the ecological footprint of our practice. This aligns with our commitment to sustainability and responsible healthcare.

Digital X-ray images can be easily stored in electronic patient records, providing secure and efficient access to historical data. This digital storage solution not only saves physical space but also facilitates easy sharing of images with other dental professionals as needed, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

At iSmile Orthodontics, we are proud to utilize digital X-ray technology as part of our commitment to providing exceptional orthodontic care. By embracing these advanced imaging techniques, we ensure that your experience with us is not only effective but also safe, convenient, and environmentally conscious.

Digital Paperless Practice

At iSmile Orthodontics, we’re not just about creating beautiful smiles; we’re also committed to environmental stewardship and simplifying your experience. By adopting a fully digital, paperless practice, we significantly reduce our ecological footprint while enhancing the patient experience with efficiency and convenience.

From digital check-ins and electronic medical history forms to paperless billing and communications, every aspect of your interaction with us is designed to minimize paper waste. This approach not only streamlines processes for a seamless patient experience but also ensures secure, efficient record-keeping and easy access to your orthodontic records anytime, anywhere.

Our digital platform facilitates timely communication directly to your device, keeping you informed and engaged in your treatment process without the clutter of paper. Additionally, this system enables secure, instant sharing of documents and X-rays with other dental professionals, ensuring coordinated, comprehensive care.

Embracing a paperless practice reflects our dedication to innovation and our responsibility towards a greener planet. It’s a step towards reducing the demand for paper, conserving resources, and decreasing pollution, all while providing top-notch orthodontic care.
