When it comes to clear aligners, the method used to capture the precise shape of your teeth plays a crucial role in the success of your treatment. At Urban Smile, we use state-of-the-art 3D digital scanning technology, which is a true game-changer compared to traditional orthodontic impression kits. Here’s why!
Digital Scanning:
Precision:
The 3D scanner captures your teeth with incredible accuracy, ensuring your aligners are a perfect fit.
Convenient:
The iTero scanner uses a small, handheld wand to digitally scan your teeth in just a few minutes.
Instant Visualization:
3D scanning allows and instant 3D view of your teeth providing precise treatment planning for incredible results you’ll love.
No Mess, No Stress:
Say goodbye to the gooey, uncomfortable impression material used in traditional kits! The 3D scanner is entirely mess-free, making it a much more comfortable experience for patients.
Enhanced Treatment Planning:
The precision of 3D scans ensures your clinical team has all the data needed to create a customised treatment plan, maximizing the effectiveness of your aligners and the overall success of your smile journey.
Orthodontic Impression Kits:
Manual Process:
Traditional impression kits require mixing and setting putty-like impression materials to capture the shape of your teeth. The process can be messy and uncomfortable.
Potential for Error:
Even slight movements during the process can lead to inaccurate impressions, which affect the fit and effectiveness of your clear aligners.
Time-Consuming:
From preparing the materials to waiting for them to set, manual impressions can take considerably longer than digital scans and you might need to redo impressions if they’re not perfect the first time.
Shipping Delays:
Sending physical impressions to the lab can slow down the start of your treatment.
At Urban Smile, we include a 3D scan in every consultation, alongside x-rays and dental photos, to provide a seamless and accurate start to your smile transformation. This advanced technology not only enhances the patient experience but also ensures the most precise, efficient treatment outcomes.
