Intraoral Scanner
Using a digital intraoral scanner, we will take three-dimensional (3D) digital images, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. These scans are then used in our in-office lab where we custom-fabricate a model of your teeth. The digital impressions and the model will help us formulate a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific orthodontic needs and desires. We can also use them to visually show you your treatment options and help us keep you up-to-date on your treatment progress.
