Millions of impressions are taken each year for the fabrication of orthodontic models and appliances. Orthodontic offices take a number of these “patient hating” procedures on a daily basis. A new system is now available that creates digital free impressions of a patient’s teeth.
The iOC Scanner, a digital orthodontic impression system powered by iTero, ensures a more accurate impression from the start, which results in improved orthodontic treatment. Instead of taking oral impressions, which is one of the most anxiety producing procedures for patients undergoing orthodontic care, Orthodontics South will soon be able to use the iTero iOC scanner.
It employs laser technology to capture accurate images of the mouth, doing away with the traditional messy impression. Imagine no goop, gagging or discomfort!
The iTero iOC Scanner is the product of Cadent, now a part of Align Technology. It scans the mouth with a radiation-free laser and in six to eight minutes renders a digitally perfect, 3-D impression of the teeth and soft tissue structures. The iTero iOC Scanner can be used for any orthodontic treatment including traditional metal braces and clear aligner-based orthodontic systems and it is the only product that can be used with Invisalign®.
Dr. Brandon Boggan is an Elite Provider of Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®, being the #1 Invisalign® Provider in Alabama and in the top 1% of all Invisalign® Providers worldwide. Dr. Boggan continues to embrace cutting edge orthodontic technology so you can rest assured that the iTero iOC Scanner is the next best thing to giving our patients the best orthodontic experience possible!
