iTero Scanner
At Castro Valley Orthodontics, we understand that the foundation of a successful orthodontic treatment plan begins with an accurate diagnosis. That’s why we’ve invested in the iTero Scanner, a cutting-edge piece of technology that revolutionizes the way we view and understand your dental structure. The iTero Scanner is a highly advanced, non-invasive device that captures thousands of precise measurements in minutes, creating a digital 3D model of your mouth. This level of precision allows us to diagnose more effectively and plan treatments that are tailored to the individual contours of your teeth and gums.
One of the most appreciated benefits of the iTero Scanner among our patients is its comfort. Gone are the days of biting down on gooey, uncomfortable impression material. The iTero Scanner is quick, clean, and hassle-free, making your visit to our office a more pleasant experience. Furthermore, by visualizing your dental structure in 3D, we can better communicate the specifics of your treatment plan, ensuring that you’re fully informed and confident every step of the way.
Smile Simulator
Imagine if you could see your future smile before even starting treatment. With our Smile Simulator technology, now you can! This innovative tool takes the 3D model created by the iTero Scanner and simulates how your smile will transform through various stages of orthodontic treatment, giving you a sneak peek at the final outcome.
The Smile Simulator is not just a motivational tool; it’s an integral part of our treatment planning process. It allows for a collaborative approach to your orthodontic care, where you can express your expectations and desires, and we can adjust our strategies accordingly. This personalized preview helps to ensure that the end result not only meets but exceeds your expectations, providing a clear path towards achieving the smile of your dreams.
Digital X-Rays
In keeping with our commitment to utilize advanced technology for superior patient care, Castro Valley Orthodontics employs digital X-rays, a modern alternative to traditional radiography. digital X-rays reduce exposure to radiation by up to 90% compared to conventional film X-rays, making them a safer option for our patients. Beyond the safety advantages, this technology provides us with instant access to high-quality images of your dental structure.
The clarity and detail offered by digital X-rays enable us to identify issues that might be missed by older technologies. This includes early signs of gum disease, hidden decay, and other conditions that could impact your orthodontic treatment. With this detailed insight, we can formulate a more accurate and effective treatment plan. Additionally, digital X-rays are easily stored and shared digitally, facilitating seamless communication with your dental care team and ensuring that everyone involved in your treatment is fully informed.
