Taking the Guesswork Out of Braces at Get It Straight Orthodontics in Rochester NY

At Get It Straight Orthodontics, with three locations in Pittsford, Rochester, and Macedon NY, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality, leading edge orthodontic technology available today.  The iCAT 3-D Dental Imaging System is one of the many ways we provide state of the art orthodontic treatment delivery to our patients.

The iCAT gives us a 3-dimensional image of the patient’s teeth and jaws. This allows our doctors to precisely plan the exact movement of teeth without the guesswork of traditional or digital X-rays, which are only 2-dimensional.

In addition to moving teeth, braces affect the position and shape of the surrounding bone, gums, lips, cheeks and muscles of the face. With our 3-D CT scan, we now have the ability to create a complete treatment plan for all factors that the braces will affect. This gives our patients a more beautiful and healthy smile in an extremely precise manner.

And another big plus…our iCAT uses 95% less radiation than traditional hospital-based CT scan machines.

We would like to share with you a recent article on the benefits of 3-D imaging and orthodontics published in the New York Times.  It discusses how technology has completely revolutionized orthodontic treatment delivery today.
