Stewart and Labbe Orthodontics NEW Digital Impression Scanning System



In today’s world, it is important to feel confident and look your best. Whether you are looking for a new career, trying to find that perfect someone or want to make a personal change, having straight teeth and a healthy, beautiful smile is an important component. However, people often feel that orthodontic treatment can be too much trouble, too embarrassing or too disruptive. They therefore will put off getting any sort of treatment.

Today we have options such as Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, the clear removable braces for both teens and adults. Since the introduction of Invisalign, the smile you have always wanted can now be achieved in a reasonable amount of time and with minimal impact on your busy schedule. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before switching to your next set. Gradually the teeth are moved according to the treatment plan and goals set by the patient and their orthodontist.

At Stewart and Labbe Orthodontics we have made Invisalign treatment even easier and more proficient with the use of an iOC Digital Impression Scanner. This state-of-the-art technology allows our well trained clinicians to take highly accurate digital, 3D images of the topographical characteristics of your teeth. By taking these 3D scans, we eliminate the need for an impression as well as speed up the process of getting our Invisalign patients started with treatment.

The iOC Scanner is all about patient comfort. It delivers a digital dental impression that is even more accurate than our routine dental impressions. During the scan our patients remain comfortable and are able to breathe and swallow naturally. Much like our digital X-ray system, the iOC Scanner does not expose our patients to any sort of radiation and is completely safe.

But the best part of all is that the iOC Scanner is FAST! Using the scanner at Stewart and Labbe Orthodontics results in a faster delivery time of your personalized Invisalign or Invisalign Teen aligners. This will allow you to start creating YOUR beautiful smile even sooner!
