Digital impressions
A quick scan — no goopy molds
A small handheld scanner captures your teeth in a few comfortable minutes — no mess, no gagging, and no remakes from a distorted mold.
Do you use digital scanners?
No putty trays
Instead of biting into trays of impression putty, we capture your teeth with a small handheld scanner (iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, and Medit). It takes a few comfortable minutes, builds a precise digital model of your teeth and bite on screen, and means no mess, no gagging, and no remakes from a distorted mold.
A gentle wand passes over your teeth and stitches thousands of images into an accurate model — no powder, no putty. You and Dr. Orbach see your bite on screen the moment the scan is done.

Why patients prefer it
Comfortable, fast, accurate, visual
Comfortable
Nothing to bite into, no gag reflex, and no waiting for material to set.
Fast
A full scan takes minutes and can be repeated easily when needed.
Accurate
A precise digital model supports better-fitting aligners and appliances.
Visual
You can see your own teeth on screen and understand the plan.
Better records, better treatment
A cleaner foundation for the plan
Those digital models are the foundation for designing clear aligners, planning bracket placement, and tracking how your teeth move over time. Because a re-scan is quick and comfortable, Dr. Orbach can check progress precisely at any point in treatment. Our iTero scanner also integrates directly with the Invisalign workflow and can show you a simulation of your potential result, right at your visit.
