iTero Digital Scanner
Remember when dental impressions required sticky molds that tasted terrible? Patients today no longer have to be uncomfortable, thanks to the iTero Digital Scanner. This revolutionary device uses an intraoral camera to create a 3D digital scan of your mouth. It combines multiple images of your teeth and gums at different angles to create one comprehensive model for us to use throughout your treatment.
Getting your 3D digital scans with iTero is painless and easy! All you need to do is sit back and bite down on the tip of our special scanner. From there, the images it takes will appear on a screen next to you, and we can give personalized treatment recommendations.
3D Printing
At East Texas Orthodontics, we love embracing the power of 3D printing technology in our orthodontic practice. It’s like having a magic wand that allows us to create custom-made appliances with incredible precision. From clear aligners to retainers, 3D printing allows our team to craft personalized solutions, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The meticulous layer-by-layer fabrication process ensures the optimal fit and functionality of each appliance.
CBCT 3D Scanner
At East Texas Orthodontics, we embrace the cutting-edge technology of CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanners to elevate our orthodontic practice. These state-of-the-art imaging systems grant us unprecedented insights into a patient’s teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with detailed 3D images. With CBCT scanners, our skilled orthodontists can meticulously evaluate tooth position, root angulation, bone density, and airway analysis, ensuring precise treatment planning. This advanced technology enables us to provide personalized care, achieve optimal treatment outcomes, and allow for a better patient experience.
Dental Monitoring
At East Texas Orthodontics, we know your time is valuable. With Dental Monitoring, we can keep a closer eye on your smile without always needing to see you in the office. This smart technology allows patients to send in progress photos from home using a smartphone and app, giving our team the information we need to monitor tooth movement, aligner fit, and treatment progress between visits.
Dental Monitoring helps make orthodontic care more convenient, personalized, and efficient. If everything is moving as planned, you may be able to skip unnecessary check-ins. If we notice something that needs attention, we can reach out with guidance right away. It’s one more way we make treatment fit more easily into your life.
Synapse Pain Eraser
Orthodontic treatment should feel as comfortable as possible, and the Synapse Pain Eraser helps us make that happen. This innovative, handheld tool uses gentle electrical pulses to help reduce dental and orthodontic discomfort without needles, numbing gels, or medication. It can be used to ease soreness from braces, aligners, adjustments, and other common parts of treatment.
The Synapse Pain Eraser is quick, non-invasive, and easy to use, making it especially helpful for patients who feel nervous about discomfort. By calming the nerves in the mouth, this advanced tool helps create a more relaxed experience before, during, and after your visit.
