At Robert Stoner Orthodontics in Greensboro, advanced technology makes your treatment more comfortable, more precise, and more efficient. We use digital impressions instead of messy putty molds, the iTero digital scanner for fast, detailed 3D images, and CBCT scanning for a complete 3D view of your teeth, bone, and surrounding structures.
Better technology means better orthodontics. With each advancement, visits get more comfortable and treatment gets more efficient, so you can get the smile you want with as little fuss as possible. Here is a look at the digital imaging and scanning technology we use to plan your care with precision.
Digital Impressions
Orthodontists once made molds of your teeth using a putty-like material, a process most patients dreaded, especially anyone with a sensitive gag reflex. Digital technology has replaced that outdated method entirely. Today, we capture a precise model of your mouth with a few quick scans, no putty, no gagging, and no uncomfortable wait for a mold to set.
iTero Digital Scanner
There is no need to suffer through messy putty impressions any longer. We use the iTero digital scanner to take a fast, accurate 3D impression of your teeth and gums in just a few minutes. The scanner produces a highly detailed image that is essential for planning Invisalign treatment, and it is completely non-invasive and comfortable. As a bonus, the digital scan can also generate a simulation that previews what your new smile may look like when treatment is complete.
CBCT Scanner
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) gives us far more detail than a standard X-ray. Like the iTero scanner, it is non-invasive and quick. CBCT takes multiple images of your teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissues and turns them into a 3D model of your mouth. With that level of detail, our orthodontists can make better-informed, more accurate decisions about your treatment, which is especially valuable for complex cases.
Technology That Works for You
Modern tools are only as good as the team using them. Our orthodontists combine this technology with years of clinical experience to plan treatment that is efficient, comfortable, and tailored to you.
