iTero Scanner
Say goodbye to the days of messy, uncomfortable dental molds! The iTero Scanner is a state-of-the-art digital scanning system that captures a detailed 3D image of your teeth and gums. This tool allows us to map out your unique oral landscape with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring your orthodontic treatment plan is as precise as it is effective.
The iTero Scanner uses a small, handheld wand to take thousands of pictures of your teeth at lightning speed. Within minutes, these images are stitched together to create a comprehensive 3D model of your mouth. It’s quick, it’s easy, and most importantly — it’s super comfortable. No gooey impressions here, just high-tech magic that makes the whole process a breeze.

Laser-Sintered Appliances
Laser-sintered appliances are custom-made orthodontic devices created using advanced 3D printing technology. The process, known as laser sintering, involves using a high-powered laser to fuse powdered materials into a solid, precise shape layer by layer. This allows us to design and manufacture appliances that fit your teeth perfectly and enhance your overall treatment experience.
The creation of laser-sintered appliances begins with a digital scan of your mouth, often using our iTero Scanner. This detailed 3D model is then used to design a custom appliance tailored to your unique dental structure. The design is sent to a specialized 3D printer, where the laser sintering process takes place. The result is a highly accurate, durable, and comfortable appliance that’s ready to work wonders on your smile.
We choose laser-sintered appliances because of their:
- Precision — The laser sintering process ensures that each appliance is crafted with exceptional accuracy, providing a perfect fit for your teeth.
- Comfort — Custom-made to match your dental anatomy, these appliances offer superior comfort compared to traditional methods.
- Durability — Made from top-quality materials, laser-sintered appliances are built to last, ensuring effective and reliable treatment.
- Efficiency — With a precise fit and robust construction, these appliances can help accelerate your treatment process, getting you to your dream smile faster.
At Vibrant Orthodontics, staying at the forefront of orthodontic technology is part of our commitment to excellence. Laser-sintered appliances represent the future of orthodontic treatment, offering a level of customization and effectiveness that traditional methods simply can’t match. By integrating these advanced tools into our practice, we ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care in a friendly and vibrant environment.
