Surrey Invisalign provider uses new technology

Surrey, BC - Fortunately for orthodontic patients, research is always finding ways to improve the efficiency and accuracy of braces' technology, as well as enhance the patient's orthodontic experience.

Surrey Invisalign provider Dr. Aly Kanani has taken advantage of these new developments and has recently added technology from Cadent, Inc. to his practice.

The new equipment includes the IQ system, the IOC scanner, and the iCast program - all of which are part of Cadent’s revolutionary iTiero system.

"This new technology will really revolutionize patient care in my practice," points out Kanani, a Vancouver orthodontist. "Because it improves the accuracy of the braces' design, the technology reduces the overall treatment time and decreases the necessary number of appointments."

Initial placement appointments for braces can take two hours or more. But the IQ system dramatically shortens the needed time, says Langley invisible braces specialist Kanani. IQ allows the orthodontist to simulate treatment before placing the brackets, seeing the results of treatment before it starts. Brackets are digitally positioned and attached to plastic holders. In the initial visit, the orthodontist pops the plastic holder, similar to a retainer, into a patient's mouth. After 15 minutes, once the glue has set, and the plastic holder can be removed, the brackets are optimally positioned. Only the wires need to be added.

The improved ease and accuracy of the treatment means the orthodontist needs to make fewer adjustments, so the braces are more comfortable. Improved accuracy means that patients spend less time in the doctor’s office and need fewer follow-up visits, lowering the cost of the braces. IQ can also reduce overall treatment time by as much as 30 percent, observes Vancouver braces provider Kanani. The digital simulations also allow the patients to see what their teeth will look like when they are finished with treatment.

Working with the IQ system, the IOC scanner, powered by iTero, scans the Surrey Orthodontics patient’s teeth and creates an extremely accurate digital model, the only one of its kind in Langley and surrey invisible braces office. It digitally captures the contours of the dentition and gingival (gum) structures, providing an accurate digital orthodontic scan in minutes - without invasive measures. Because it starts with a more accurate impression from the start, the scanner helps achieve better orthodontic treatment.

The iCast program allows the orthodontist to replace the traditional plaster cast with a far more accurate and versatile digital version. The digital iCast allows doctors to easily store, retrieve and share cases electronically - without the hassles of plaster casts. In the virtual environment, the orthodontist can manipulate the digital model and collect data through a wide range of diagnostic tools. He or she can view a patient's cast anywhere at any time from any computer - and consult with other healthcare providers. "The iCast system also allows you to take home with you a hard copy of your virtual 3D model - showing what your teeth look like 'before' and 'after,'"points out Kanani.
