The first step in any orthodontic journey is getting accurate and thorough screenings to help determine what treatment plan will be best for you or your child. At Imagine Orthodontic Studio that is why we make the process simple. When you come in for your free consultation with Imagine Orthodontic Studio we also offer free orthodontic x-rays so that we can give each patient the most accurate treatment. Whether you’re in St. Pete, Clearwater, or our surrounding communities, our advanced systems ensure that every screening is accurate, giving you the best possible results on your path to a straighter smile.
Why are orthodontic screenings important on your braces or clear aligners journey? Before you, your child or your teen get orthodontic treatment done our experienced orthodontic teams need to know the conduction of your teeth, gums, and jaw to create the most effective treatment plan. When we are looking at your orthodontic screenings we are looking at three major things, your tooth alignment, jaw position, and overall oral health.
- Tooth Alignment: When studying your tooth alignment our teams are looking to see if your teeth are overcrowded, spaced too far apart, or misaligned
- Jaw Position: These screenings are individual to each patient, which is why we need to know if you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite.
- Overall Oral Health: Our orthodontic team and our orthodontists must inspect your overall oral health to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for braces or clear aligners.
At Imagine Orthodontic Studio, we don’t just rely on traditional methods of screening. Our practice is equipped with the latest technology to give our patients more accurate screenings to help identify the specific needs of each patient. All of our five Florida locations use both the iTero Scanner and the CareStream Digital X-Ray to create a specialized orthodontic treatment plan to fit each patient.
We use the iTero Scanner to provide 3D images for our orthodontists so that they can see your entire mouth. The iTero Scanner helps our orthodontic team get a more in-depth look at your tooth alignment and jaw position without the use of traditional gooey molds. When we are using the iTero Scanner you will be able to see your mouth’s intricate details appear on the screen in real time.
With our CareStream Digital X-Ray, we do not have to wait for the digital images of your teeth. We can see instant digital images of your teeth and jaw so that we can create an orthodontic treatment plan on the same day as your free consultation. The CareStream Digital X-Ray is not only a leap in our technology but is also safer for our younger patients. The CareStream Digital X-Ray is FDA-approved and produces 80% less radiation than a traditional X-ray machine.
