Orthodontic treatment is all about precision and planning. Finding the most efficient and healthy path for the movement of teeth is critical as it enables that perfect smile to come together like pieces of a puzzle falling into place.
Technological advancements have allowed orthodontists to achieve higher levels of precision, effectiveness, and patient comfort in a shorter time frame. At Bronsky Orthodontics, we are always at the cutting edge of orthodontic technology at our offices in Tribeca and the Upper East Side, which is why we are proud to have the most advanced digital 3D scanning technology in our office, the iTero® Scanner.
The iTero® Scanner is a special piece of technology that we use to take highly detailed images of your teeth and bite prior to beginning orthodontic treatment. The scanner replaces the use of dental alginate material (putty) to obtain molds of your teeth.
The scanner looks similar to a wand, which we slowly wave over your teeth and jaws to capture a series of images which are pieced together to create a digital impression of your teeth. We then use the 3D image to map out the most efficient, mechanically controlled, stable, and healthy path for your teeth to travel to create the perfect smile.
The most significant advantages of the iTero® Scanner are increased precision and patient comfort. With our orthodontists being able to work with a 3D model of your smile, we can make treatment more efficient and predictable than ever before. Beyond improved precision, the iTero® Scanner can often replace “goopy” impression material and ensure that we get the perfect impression on the very first attempt. The scanning process is completely discomfort-free, so the scan is ideal for patients of all ages.
