If your teeth are not in proper alignment, not only can it mean an awkward smile, but it can also impact your ability to brush and clean between teeth, and it can produce uneven pressures on jaw joints and other oral structures. Invisalign clear braces can move teeth into more correct positions, and our careful measurements with iTero technology make this possible. Unlike physical molds, which can be messy, uncomfortable and time consuming to make, iTero takes a series of digital images, which are combined in minutes to show a full 3D picture of your current teeth. iTero can also show you what your smile can look like after treatment.
Careful brushing and flossing, along with attending regular preventive visits can go a long way towards preserving gum health. However, we sometimes see patients who need deep cleaning to remove bacteria and infection under the gum line, and the Biolase laser assisted dentistry makes periodontal cleaning highly accurate and more comfortable. The tightly focused beam of light allows precision work for deep cleaning (also called scaling and root planing), among other procedures.
It’s understandable that a patient would want to know what to expect after a procedure. The power of digital images allow us to offer you a smile gallery, with before and after photos of patients. The iTero technology can also show you a digital “after” image, of what your improved smile will look like.
