Dr. Kurt Bray and Dr. Robert Olsen are proud to integrate cutting-edge digital scanning technology to enhance your treatment experience and outcomes. This advanced tool allows our orthodontists and dental team to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution images of your oral structures with remarkable precision. Here are some key advantages of using digital scanning in our office:
- High-quality Imaging: Our state-of-the-art digital scanner captures detailed images of your teeth and gums in full color. This clarity helps us distinguish between healthy and affected areas, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning.
- Comfort and Convenience: The process involves using a small, hand-held wand that comfortably fits inside your mouth. This wand swiftly scans your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional, often uncomfortable, impression materials. The images are processed instantly, providing immediate visual feedback and eliminating the need for repeat scans.
- Efficient Treatment Planning: Digital images can be used to create precise models of your mouth, which are essential for designing orthodontic treatments, including Spark™, OrthoFX™ and Invisalign® clear aligners. The accuracy of these models ensures that any appliances used in your treatment fit perfectly, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Digital scanning also allows for the use of digital impressions in your treatment. These impressions streamline your treatment process and improve your overall experience by:
- Eliminating the discomfort and mess of traditional impression materials
- Saving you time
- Providing an immediate and highly accurate image for your mouth, allowing our orthodontists to make any adjustments to your appliances or treatment plans quickly
- Ensuring precise, comfortable and effective treatments and orthodontic appliances to meet your needs
