FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
The iTero® scanner is an advanced 3D digital intraoral scanner. It uses a small, handheld wand to capture thousands of images of your teeth and gums, which are combined to create a highly accurate 3D digital model of your mouth. This model is used to plan your orthodontic treatment and design your custom aligners or appliances, without the need for traditional impression putty.
Yes. Most patients find digital scanning far more comfortable than traditional impressions. There are no trays of putty to hold in your mouth, no unpleasant taste and much less risk of gagging. The scan is quick and you can take short breaks if needed, which makes it particularly helpful for children and anyone who finds dental appointments difficult.
Digital scanning is completely safe. The iTero scanner uses light to capture images of your teeth, rather than X-rays, so there is no radiation involved. It is suitable for patients of all ages, including young children.
Yes. Using your 3D scan and advanced planning software, we can show you a digital simulation of how your teeth are expected to move and what your smile could look like at the end of treatment. This helps you understand your treatment plan and make an informed decision before you begin. Simulations are a guide, and your clinician will talk you through what to realistically expect.
Yes. Our digital technology supports a wide range of orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign and fixed braces. Digital scans and planning help us assess your teeth and bite accurately, recommend the most suitable treatment and design appliances that fit precisely.
Digital scanning and planning make each appointment more efficient, while remote monitoring allows us to check your progress between visits. With Dental Monitoring, you can send quick scans from your smartphone, so our team can review your treatment remotely and keep practice visits for the stages where you really need to be seen.
Your Technology-Led Patient Journey
At Bamford Dental Practice, advanced digital technology supports every stage of your orthodontic care. From your first scan to protecting your finished smile, here is how our technology helps make your treatment more accurate, comfortable and convenient.
1.
Your Consultation
Your consultation begins with a thorough assessment of your teeth, jaw and bite, followed by a quick, comfortable iTero® 3D digital scan. Within minutes, you will be able to see a detailed 3D model of your teeth on screen, which makes it easy for us to explain any concerns and talk you through your options. Using digital planning software, we can show you a simulation of your expected results, helping you choose the treatment that is right for you with complete confidence.
2.
Your Treatment
Once your plan is finalised, your digital scan is used to design custom aligners or appliances with a precise fit. Throughout your treatment, our team keeps a close eye on your progress, both at the practice and, where appropriate, remotely through Dental Monitoring. Quick smartphone scans allow us to check that your teeth are moving as planned and spot anything that needs attention early. This means fewer routine visits for you, with expert clinical oversight at every step.
3.
Your Aftercare
When your active treatment is complete, a final digital scan can be used to create retainers that fit your new smile precisely. We will explain how and when to wear them to help keep your teeth in their new position. Your digital records also give us an accurate reference for the future, making it easier to monitor your results over time and spot any changes early. Regular check-ups help keep your smile healthy, stable and beautifully aligned.
