Digital Impressions

Patritto Orthodontics is proud to offer our patients the Cadent iOC digital impression system - it's orthodontics gone 3-D!

The iOC scanner system, powered by iTero technology, digitally captures the contours of your teeth, providing an accurate, goop-free digital orthodontic scan in just minutes! The name iTero, derived from the Latin word itero meaning "to repeat", reflects the ability of this high-tech system to exactly replicate your oral anatomy. The digital impression procedure ensures a more comfortable experience and produces a more precise scan for the doctors. The results? A more effective treatment plan and, ultimately, better orthodontic care.

Taking impressions with trays and putty is one of the most invasive and dreaded procedures involved with orthodontic treatment. With the Cadent iOC digital impression system, the goop, gagging and discomfort often experienced with the traditional impression method is eliminated and as a result, patients experience less anxiety. Studies show that the digital impression system is more comfortable and take less time than traditional impressions. What's more, the iTero scanner uses visible light, so you won't have any exposure to radiation during the procedure!
