At Premier Orthodontics & Dental Specialists, we are passionate about utilizing state-of-the-art technology to enhance both the accuracy of our work and the comfort of your experience. Our investment in advanced digital scanners is a testament to this commitment. We love our scanners, and we have three high-performance scanners: one Carestream and two Medit i700 scanners. These cutting-edge tools enable our orthodontist and team to create precise 3D replicas of your teeth and gums, facilitating the meticulous crafting of clear aligners and various oral appliances.
What is Digital Scanning?
Digital scanning has become an invaluable asset in orthodontic care, transforming the way we capture and utilize images for treatment planning and appliance creation. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, our Carestream and Medit i700 scanners generate precise 3D models of patients’ teeth and gums, providing a clear and comprehensive view of the oral structure. The handheld device swiftly captures numerous images per second as it glides around the mouth, seamlessly compiling these into an accurate 3D representation ready for immediate use.
What to Expect During a Scan?
When you visit our office for a digital scan, you can expect a quick and comfortable procedure. Our skilled team will guide the scanner around your mouth, capturing detailed images of your teeth and gums. This process is noninvasive and typically takes just a few minutes, saving you time and sparing you the discomfort of traditional impression materials.
