In the past, you may have had to wait with “goop” in your mouth for a traditional mold or impression. At our office, we use digital impressions for a less invasive, more comfortable patient experience, which helps patients who have a more sensitive gag reflex. Our digital impressions are also a lot more detailed than traditional impressions, allowing for increased accuracy when planning your orthodontic treatment. 

The benefits of digital impressions include the following: 

• We can help ensure that you have a shorter and more efficient appointment since the process for digital impressions is much faster than for traditional impressions. 
• We do not use goopy material. 
• We can start and stop the digital scanning process as needed, and if you are feeling uncomfortable, we can quickly remove the scanner from your mouth. 
• We can use digital dental impressions for orthodontic aligners and other oral appliances.
