Smile for the 3D Camera
Our 3D Scans Give Faster, Better Results
You probably remember the days of yucky, goopy, alginate impressions orthodontists used in the past to get a complete image of your mouth. At Passamano Orthodontics, we use advanced technology to capture a complete image of your smile, jaws, and facial bones – without the goop! Our 3D scans allow us to see a clear picture of your smile, and it’s fast and easy for you as well!
We start your 3D scans with a CBCT x-ray of your mouth to capture dental structures, soft tissues, nerves, and bones. With these images, Dr. Passamano and his team can see impacted teeth, otherwise known as incoming permanent teeth, and determine if there is enough space for those teeth. After acquiring these x-rays, we use a small handheld camera on our iTero scanner to take several photos of each tooth, your palate, and dental arches. These images are compiled together to create a virtual model of your smile. We then use these 3D images to create your smile simulation, develop your treatment plan, and show you what your future smile will look like!
Each piece of the 3D digital scanning process is painless and relatively quick. All you have to do during your CBCT x-ray is hold still and keep your chin steady on the chin rest. The rest is done for you as the CBCT machine captures the 3D images in a matter of seconds. Our iTero scanner is also quick and mess-free, unlike the previously used impressions. We know the ease of these scans will be a huge perk for you and your family, but we think the smile simulator will be your favorite part of the appointment!
