What We Use To Provide Effective Orthodontic Care

CALLOUT1At Lindsey Orthodontics, our goal is to help you achieve your best possible smile through efficient and effective orthodontic care. To accomplish that goal, we utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology in our office, which helps us ensure that every little movement that your teeth make is carefully planned down to the most precise measurement. The higher the quality and amount of details in the image of your smile, the more precise we will be able to get when planning your treatment, which is why we use the iTero digital impression system.

The iTero Digital Impression System

Instead of the old method of taking your dental impressions using putty and trays, the iTero system takes 3-D digital images of your entire smile, giving us a detailed model to use when planning your treatment. With this digital impression, we will map out the ideal path that you teeth need to move along in order to achieve that perfect smile as efficient as possible. The 3-D model is also helpful in showing you your treatment options and the different stages of treatment that you’ll be going through.

Beyond just planning your treatment, we will also use the digital impression to make your custom braces or Invisalign aligners so that they fit perfectly on your teeth for the most comfortable and effective treatment possible.

Below are some of the main the benefits of iTero digital impressions over traditional putty impressions:

  • Accuracy: They capture the exact contours of your teeth so your braces or aligners can be customized to fit perfectly on your teeth.
  • Efficiency: The iTero requires less time in the treatment chair, meaning shorter orthodontic appointments.
  • Comfort: Taking the digital images is less invasive. No putty is used, and patients are more at ease without fearing they will gag on the impression putty.
  • Visualization: They provide each patient with a definite picture of what their teeth will look like before, during and after orthodontic treatment.
