At our office, we use digital radiography called I-CAT. I-CAT is the next generation of x-ray technology. It utilizes dynamic three dimensional cone beam digital imaging. This 3-D scan allows orthodontists to produce diagnostic records that illustrate the images of the teeth, along with the supporting bones, jaws, jaw joints, and other bony structures.  This results in more precise diagnosis and treatment planning, which enables us to produce the healthiest relationship between the jaw joints and the teeth, while producing the most harmonious smile at the same time. This new imaging process uses significantly less radiation and also includes a special low-dose setting for children and follow-up scans. The accuracy provided by 3-D imaging can decrease treatment time by over 40%.

If you have any questions about this modern technology and how it can benefit you, we encourage you to call and ask our doctors, or our staff, for more information.
