Mt. Pleasant, SC Dentist Reveals Invisalign® Results Before Orthodontic Treatment Begins

MT. PLEASANT, S.C., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Kevin Hogan, the renowned dentist at Smiles by Hogan, improves patient orthodontic experiences in Mt. Pleasant, SC by investing in the latest iTero® digital scanner. This intraoral scanner lets patients see a digital preview of their future treatment results for Invisalign®, as well as improves the fit of other aligners, including whitening trays, mouthguards, and oral appliances for sleep apnea.

Dental treatments involving trays or aligners traditionally rely on goopy impressions to capture the shape and position of teeth. These impressions involve biting down on a mouthguard filled with a paste-like material that solidifies around the teeth. The process is uncomfortable, induces the gag-reflux of many patients, and is not always accurate. Digital technology like the iTero scanner improves both the patient experience, and the clinical process for impressions to create better, more long-term results.

The iTero scanner is a hand-held device that simultaneously captures images of the teeth and processes them into high-quality digital scans. In a matter of minutes, a dentist can render a digital representation of a patient's entire mouth, comfortably and accurately. When uploaded into the iTero software, these digital scans can be digitally manipulated to show the results of treatment like Invisalign. The digital scans can also provide a highly accurate foundation to design sports mouthguards, trays for teeth whitening treatment, and oral appliances to treat sleep apnea. Using iTero scanners, a dentist can provide appliances that have 7x fewer fit issues than traditional methods.

Using the iTero digital scanner for Invisalign treatment offers a better experience for patients. With iTero, Dr. Hogan helps patients see how their final smile will look before treatment even begins and is able to provide better fitting clear aligners for a more comfortable and precise process. Dr. Hogan's Invisalign treatment provides a discreet alternative to traditional orthodontics that does not hinder facial aesthetics, oral hygiene routine, dietary habits, or social or professional lifestyles.
