Modern Technology in Denver

Skilled Orthodontic Care from Ivy League Educated Orthodontists

With advances in orthodontic technology, our patients are now able to receive the outstanding treatment they need at a faster pace so they can reach their goals quicker. At Lowry Orthodontics, we are very proud to provide our patients with techniques and technologies that are demonstrated to be safe, effective, and efficient. One of the pieces of advanced dental technology we use is the iTero® Element™ Scanner, which takes digital impressions of the teeth and gums.

Once the scan is complete, your orthodontist will then have a 3D model of your mouth, which can be used with all Invisalign® services. The impression can also be used with the Invisalign Outcome Simulator to give you an idea of what your new smile might look like. Not only is a digital impression more comfortable, it’s also much more accurate.

The benefits of the iTero® Element™ Scanner include:

• No gooey mess, like with traditional impressions
• No unpleasant taste or smell
• The patient can comfortably breathe and swallow as they normally would
• The process is extremely fast, and allows for a faster delivery time
• 3D, onscreen scans will be available immediately for you and your orthodontist to view together
• No need to retake impressions, like with the traditional method
• Allows for a more accurate, precise fit with Invisalign® clear aligners and retainers

Even under the best of conditions, traditional impressions were uncomfortable and bore an unpleasant taste. They were also, on occasion, unreliable. Forgetting all of these pesky downsides in the past, we are proud to offer goop-free, full digital impressions with the revolutionary iTero® Element™ Scanner.

Another option we are able to offer to our patients is the AcceleDent Aura. This is a hands-free device that is easy to use to help accelerate your Denver orthodontic treatments.
