Do You Gag When You Take Impressions?


Do you gag when you take impressions?  Dread going to the dentist or orthodontist because you fear you might have get an impression with all of that goopy impression material?

Fear not!!  We have the newest technology that is replacing the old impressions. The new iTero scanner from Align Technology is a game changer.  Not only can we scan our patients teeth with a little 3D camera  for Invisalign, we can also scan patients for retainers and other appliances that are needed for orthodontics.

Here is a picture of Tiffany. She had a horrible time with impressions. It was almost impossible to get an impression on her. So when it came time to make her a retainer we just scanned her teeth. No tears, no hassle, and no vomiting in the chair.  No impressions, easy scan, perfect retainer, and a happy patient.
