Technological advancements continue to revolutionise the way specialist orthodontists diagnose, plan, and execute treatments. One amazing innovation that has been gaining momentum in recent years is the digital orthodontic scanner. These cutting-edge devices offer a multitude of benefits, making them one of our favourite pieces of equipment at Berwick Orthodontics.
So why are these scanners so great?
- They are precise and accurate: Digital orthodontic scanners utilise state-of-the-art imaging technology to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and surrounding structures. This high level of precision allows orthodontists to obtain accurate measurements and assessments, resulting in more precise treatment plans and better outcomes for your treatment.
- They give you a better patient experience: Say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions! Digital scanners offer a more comfortable and convenient alternative for patients. The process is quick, non-invasive, and eliminates the need for gooey impression materials, making it a much more pleasant experience for patients of all ages.
- They save time and are efficient: With digital scanning, your specialist orthodontist can streamline their workflow and reduce appointment times. The ability to instantly capture and visualise digital impressions eliminates the need for manual impression trays, shipping, and waiting for physical models to be produced, leading to faster treatment initiation and progress.
- Scans are easily accessed: Digital scans can be easily shared with colleagues, dental laboratories, and other healthcare providers involved in your care.
You can see your treatment outcomes before you even start treatment: Orthodontic scanners offer advanced software capabilities that allow your specialist orthodontist to simulate treatment outcomes and visualise potential results for patients. This enables personalised treatment planning and allows patients to make informed decisions about their orthodontic journey.
