3D Scanning & Digital Impressions

At Braces Omaha, we stay up-to-date with the latest and greatest technology in the orthodontic field. Our office uses radiation-free 3D imaging technology to create digital impressions of your teeth and jaws. This technology ensures the most accurate and efficient treatment plans and a perfect fit for your custom appliances. 

During your first visit with Dr. Stevens, we will likely take 3D scans as part of the examination and treatment planning process. To schedule your complimentary consultation at Braces Omaha, contact our office in Omaha, NE, today. 

Benefits of 3D Scanning & Digital Impressions

The use of digital imaging and impressions allows us to design treatment plans more efficiently. Instead of creating physical molds and mailing them to a laboratory for fabrication, we can email scans to the lab the same day so they can immediately begin making your appliance. 3D scanning offers many additional benefits, including:

• Improved orthodontic treatment planning
• Lower risk of surprises during treatment
• Much more accurate than the traditional type of impressions (PVS impressions)
• Less radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays
• Images are viewable from virtually every angle
• It’s all digital—no more goopy impressions and molds!

Digital impressions ensure that you/your child receive well-fitting appliances such as a palatal expander or a retainer, as well as an accurate representation of your mouth and jaws for other orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign^®.
