Our Technology
we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care, integrating advanced technology into our practice to enhance both the precision of our treatments and the comfort of our patients. By incorporating cutting-edge technology, we can deliver precise and efficient orthodontic treatments, ensuring optimal results while minimizing discomfort and inconvenience.
iTero Scanner
The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of your teeth and gums using a compact, hand-held wand. Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser, and, in as little as two to three minutes, the laser renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth that can be viewed on our computer screen. The iTero scanner can be used for any type of orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign.
Our experience coupled with the use of our updated technology gives you the best possible outcome for your orthodontic treatment.
CBCT X-Ray
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) X-rays have revolutionized orthodontic imaging, transforming the way we diagnose and plan treatments at Papasikos Orthodontics. Unlike traditional X-rays, the iCat system generates three-dimensional images that provide a comprehensive view of not just your teeth, but also your soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone structure. This advanced imaging allows Dr. Papasikos to accurately diagnose your orthodontic needs and develop personalized treatment strategies that take into account your unique oral anatomy.
3D Printing
At Papasikos Orthodontics, we utilize advanced 3D printing technology to offer highly personalized and efficient orthodontic care. This cutting-edge tool allows us to craft precise, custom-made orthodontic appliances right in our office, making your treatment faster and more accurate.
Using 3D printing, we can turn digital impressions of your teeth into physical models, which then become the basis for creating tailored devices such as clear aligners, retainers, and other orthodontic tools. This process guarantees that each appliance is made specifically for your smile, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
Advantages of 3D Printing at Papasikos Orthodontics
- Improved Accuracy — 3D printing provides exceptional precision, ensuring your aligners, retainers, and other appliances fit perfectly for more predictable and successful results.
- Faster Service — By producing appliances in-office, we significantly reduce wait times and can quickly provide replacement aligners or retainers if necessary.
- Personalized Care — Every appliance is crafted to your exact specifications, maximizing both comfort and treatment efficiency.
By incorporating 3D printing into our practice, we can take full control of the production of your orthodontic appliances, leading to a smoother and quicker treatment process. From the initial scan to the final appliance, 3D printing ensures that your care is both precise and convenient, helping you achieve a beautifully aligned smile with fewer delays.
3D printing is just one of the many ways Papasikos Orthodontics remains at the forefront of orthodontic innovation, providing a treatment experience tailored specifically to you.
