Using the most advanced dental technology possible is just as important as staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality orthodontic care available, we are proud to offer Carestream Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT). This imaging technology provides exceptional three dimenensional reconstruction, which allows for dramatically better diagnostic accuracy and visualization when compared to standard 2D orthodontic imaging. If you can't see it, you can't treat it!
Carestream CBCT is a digital, 3D imaging system that allows us to provide quick, comfortable, and effective orthodontic imaging for precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and the much better evaluation of certain conditions. The data gathered is used to reconstruct a 3D image of your anatomy: dental (teeth); oral and maxillofacial region (mouth, jaw, and neck); airway, and temporomandibular joints (TMJ's).
There are many advantages of a more accurate, comfortable orthodontic treatment with CBCT imaging. Some special features include:
- A scan that takes less than a minute but provides enough data for a complete diagnosis
- A safer diagnosis with less radiation than traditional CT scanners
- Increased comfort: you are seated in an open environment with plenty of space
- A more cost-effective imaging system
- Data is easily shared, so you can stay informed and be able to make educated decisions on your course of treatment
