3D Scans

3D Scans

3D scans are changing the way orthodontics are used. We use 3D scans to detect possible issues more accurately and gain a breadth of knowledge to improve the quality of your care.

The professional team at Derby Orthodontics in Derby, KS, is proud to serve the local community with quality orthodontic care services, including 3D scans.

How 3D Scans Work

3D scans are typically performed using a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner. This machine rotates around your head, taking images from multiple angles to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and jaw.

3D scans are a great evolution allowing us to provide you with the best possible care.

Benefits of 3D Scans

Here are some great benefits of 3D scans that are being used by the team at Derby Orthodontics in Derby, KS, every day to improve the quality of your treatments:

• Improved Accuracy: 3D scans provide a highly detailed and precise representation of your oral anatomy, allowing us to identify potential problems more easily and accurately. This can lead to more effective treatment planning and a reduced risk of complications.
• Enhanced Treatment Planning: With 3D scans, the team can visualize your oral health in a way that was not possible with traditional X-rays. This allows for more precise treatment planning, including the placement of implants, the design of orthodontic appliances, and the preparation for complex surgical procedures.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: 3D scans can help us plan minimally invasive procedures, reducing discomfort, recovery time, and potential complications. For example, 3D scans can guide implant placement with greater precision, minimizing the risk of damaging nearby nerves or structures.
• Custom-Made Appliances: 3D scans can be used to create custom-made appliances, such as crowns, bridges, and Invisalign aligners, that fit perfectly and provide optimal function.
• Improved Communication: 3D scans can help us communicate more effectively with you and other professionals involved in your treatment. By visualizing your oral health in 3D, we can explain complex procedures and treatment plans more clearly.

3D Scans in Various Procedures

3D scans can be used in a variety of procedures, including:

• Implants: 3D scans can help our team plan the placement of implants more accurately, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a successful outcome.
• Orthodontics: 3D scans can be used to create custom-made braces or clear aligners that fit perfectly.
• Oral Surgery: 3D scans can help us visualize complex surgical procedures and plan the treatment more effectively.
• TMJ Disorder: 3D scans can help diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a condition that affects the jaw joint.

If you are considering improving your oral health care, make sure you choose a team that offers great diagnostic tools. 3D scans are just one example of the advanced technology we use to provide you with better care.
