Digital scanning technology has replaced the need for uncomfortable manual impressions at our practice. We use high-speed optical sensors to create a perfect three-dimensional map of your teeth, ensuring that your clear aligners or braces fit with microscopic accuracy from the very first day.

Patients often remember the cold, messy putty used to take dental impressions in years past. Modern care in Sedgwick County has evolved far beyond those traditional methods. We have integrated the iTero Element, which is a digital impression system that captures thousands of data points per second. This technology allows Dr. Paul Anders and our team to show you a virtual simulation of your finished smile before we even begin treatment. Local professionals appreciate this system’s efficiency because it reduces time spent in the clinical chair.

The look of relief on a patient’s face when they realize they do not have to endure a tray full of silicone putty is a daily highlight for our clinical team.

Technical Precision via Digital Mapping

The shift toward a digital workflow enhances every stage of the orthodontic journey. By using an optical scanner, we eliminate the tiny distortions that can occur with physical molds, leading to better outcomes for Invisalign clear aligner therapy. This data is used to plan mandibular advancement, a process that helps correct overbites by guiding the lower jaw into a more forward and functional position. Digital files allow for seamless collaboration between our doctors and the laboratory, ensuring your custom appliances are built to your exact biological specifications. High-end tech at our office means you receive metropolitan-level care without leaving the Derby community.

Common Questions About Digital Impressions

Is the scanning process safe for my child? The digital scanner uses radiation-free laser and optical technology to “paint” a picture of the teeth. It is completely safe and much faster than old-fashioned methods, making it an excellent choice for busy families near High Park.

How long does a digital scan actually take? Most scans are completed in less than five minutes. You can breathe and swallow normally during the process, and we can even pause the scan if you need a quick break to chat with our staff.
