Cutting-Edge Care at My Orthodontist
The Technology Behind Your Best Smile
At My Orthodontist, we believe that great orthodontic outcomes start with great tools. As a leading orthodontist in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we have invested in some of the most advanced technology available in modern orthodontics. Our commitment to innovation means that every patient who walks through our doors benefits from precise diagnostics, personalized treatment planning, and a more comfortable experience from start to finish. Here’s a closer look at the technology we use and why it matters for your smile.
See the Full Picture With Cone-Beam 3D Imaging
Cone-beam 3D imaging is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in orthodontics today. Unlike traditional imaging methods, this technology gives us a comprehensive three-dimensional view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues all at once. That level of detail allows us to identify issues that might otherwise go undetected and develop treatment plans with a much higher degree of accuracy.
Whether we’re evaluating impacted teeth, assessing jaw relationships, or preparing for a complex case, cone-beam 3D imaging helps us make well-informed decisions that lead to better outcomes for our patients.
Safer, Smarter Diagnostics With Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are another cornerstone of the technology we rely on at My Orthodontist. Compared to conventional film X-rays, digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation, making them a safer option for patients of all ages. They also produce sharper, higher-resolution images that can be viewed instantly on screen, which means we can share findings with you in real time and explain exactly what we’re seeing. This technology supports faster diagnosis and more efficient treatment planning, so we can get your smile on track without unnecessary delays.
Impressions Without the Mess: The iTero Scanner
If you’ve ever had traditional dental impressions taken, you know how uncomfortable the process can be. The iTero scanner changes that entirely. This state-of-the-art device uses advanced optical technology to capture thousands of precise data points in just a few minutes, creating a highly accurate 3D digital model of your teeth and bite.
There’s no impression material, no gagging, and no waiting. The iTero scanner is especially valuable for planning Invisalign treatment, as it allows us to show you a simulation of your projected results before you even begin. It’s a game-changer for patient experience and treatment precision alike.
Why Our Technology Matters to You
Investing in advanced technology is ultimately an investment in our patients. The diagnostic tools we use allow us to see more clearly, plan more precisely, and treat more effectively than ever before. As your orthodontist in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we take that responsibility seriously. Our technology helps us catch problems early, customize treatment to your unique anatomy, and reduce the amount of time you spend in the chair. Every piece of equipment in our offices is chosen with one goal in mind: giving you the best possible experience and the most beautiful, lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Technology
Is the cone-beam 3D imaging scan safe?
Yes. Cone-beam 3D imaging uses a focused beam of radiation that is carefully controlled to minimize exposure. The dose is much lower than traditional medical CT scans, and we only recommend it when the diagnostic benefit warrants its use.
Do digital X-rays expose me to a lot of radiation?
No. Digital X-rays use up to 80% less radiation than conventional film X-rays. They are considered very safe for routine orthodontic use, including for children and teens.
Does the iTero scan hurt or feel uncomfortable?
Not at all. The iTero scanner is a small wand that gently moves around the inside of your mouth. Most patients find it much more comfortable than traditional impressions.
Will these technologies affect how long my treatment takes?
In many cases, yes, in a positive way. Our technology allows for more accurate planning from the start, which can reduce adjustments and help keep your treatment on schedule.
Do I need to pay extra for these technologies?
Our use of advanced technology is part of how we provide care at My Orthodontist. We encourage you to contact our office or ask during your consultation about what’s included in your treatment.
