Imagine that you’re at the orthodontist, and they tell you, “It’s time to do impressions.” No, this doesn’t mean do your best Daffy Duck or Moonwalk. It’s the part that all your friends said was one of the worst things about getting braces… THE GOOP.
You have a vision in your head: the trays of orthodontic goop that will make molds of your teeth, gagging you in the process as you sit there trying not to move, silently watching the clock and begging for relief.
But instead of feeling the cold, slimy goop in your mouth, you open your eyes and find that the clinical assistant is holding the iTero Scanner instead.
You open your mouth and are amazed! In just a few minutes, you can see 3-D images of all your teeth on the computer screen. And that’s it. One of the first steps towards getting your braces and your journey to straight teeth.
For years the messy, goopy impressions for braces were seen as a necessary evil by orthodontists. But technology has given us a better way. And we are happy to change with the times and ditch the goop forever.
Petrover Orthodontics is proud to be the first orthodontic practice in Palm Beach County to use the iTero Scanner.
Most of the other orthodontists in the Wellington or Boynton Beach, Florida area are still living in the “Goop Age,” while we have gone digital with the easy-to-use, comfortable iTero Scanner.
Not only do you avoid the unpleasant goop-and-gagging experience, but the improved accuracy and detail of the iTero Scanner (like HDTV vs. black and white) means that we get a better model of your teeth, and you get better results with your braces!
It’s clear to us that digital impressions will soon make the old goop method obsolete. The question is, how long will it take before other Wellington orthodontists and Boynton Beach orthodontists catch up and change with the times?
Until they do, make sure you avoid the goopy impressions by making an appointment for a free braces consultation with us. As one of the top rated orthodontic offices in Florida, we specialize in clear ceramic braces, metal braces, Invisalign and other types of braces in Wellington and Boynton Beach, Florida (FL).
