Precision bite coordination is essential for maintaining dental health and preventing premature wear during physical activity. We utilize high-speed digital mapping to analyze how teeth meet and function as a unit. This data-driven approach ensures that every spectacular smile is as functional as it is beautiful.

Athletes in the Blue Valley School District require a stable bite to protect their teeth and support proper jaw function. We use the iTero ElementScanner to capture a comprehensive 3D map of the oral cavity without traditional putty impressions. This technology allows us to perform a Digital Treatment Simulation, showing exactly how the Digital Occlusal Alignment will look at the end of therapy. By visualizing the Outcome Simulator, patients gain a clear understanding of their clinical goals before treatment even begins.

Seeing a digital map of your own bite helps bridge the gap between technical diagnosis and personal health goals.

Analyzing Bite Pressure via Digital Mapping

A perfectly aligned smile must account for how the upper and lower teeth interact during chewing and speech. Our scanning technology generates a heat map that identifies areas of excessive pressure or interference. Addressing these discrepancies through orthodontic correction prevents the need for Orthognathic Coordination or corrective jaw surgery later in life.

Does the digital scanner use radiation?

No, the iTero scanner is a radiation-free imaging tool that uses optical lasers to create a digital model. It is a safe and highly accurate alternative to traditional X-rays for many diagnostic needs.

How long does the scanning process take?

The entire mouth can be mapped in just a few minutes during your visit to our Metcalf Avenue office. It is a quick and comfortable process that provides immediate visual feedback.
