State-of-the-Art 3D Scanners

At Brighter Dental & Orthodontics, we utilize the latest 3D scanning technology to provide highly accurate, comfortable, and mess-free digital impressions. Our advanced scanners eliminate the need for traditional putty impressions, making your experience smoother and more precise.

• iTero Scanner — Ideal for Invisalign treatment planning, this scanner provides high-definition digital impressions and real-time visualizations of your treatment progress.
• PrimeScan — Delivers exceptional accuracy for crowns, bridges, and other restorative treatments, ensuring a perfect fit.
• Trios 5 — A compact, lightweight scanner that enhances patient comfort while capturing precise, detailed digital models of your teeth and gums.

iTero Lumina: Next-Generation Digital Impressions

The iTero Lumina Scanner is our newest and most advanced intraoral scanner, designed for unparalleled accuracy and patient comfort. With enhanced optics and AI-driven processing, it provides:

• Ultra-fast scanning for a more efficient visit
• Higher-quality images for improved diagnostics
• Even more comfortable scanning experience with minimal contact

With the iTero Lumina, we can create detailed digital impressions for Invisalign, crowns, veneers, and other dental restorations, ensuring a perfect fit without the discomfort of traditional impressions. This technology also enables real-time simulations, allowing you to see potential treatment outcomes before you begin — helping you make informed decisions about your smile.

CBCT: The Most Advanced 3D Imaging on Long Island

For precise diagnostics and treatment planning, we use Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology, offering detailed 3D imaging with minimal radiation exposure. This advanced system allows us to evaluate bone structure, tooth positioning, and airway health with incredible detail.

Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT imaging provides a 360-degree view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, making it an essential tool for:

• Orthodontic Planning — Ensures braces or Invisalign treatment is customized to your unique anatomy.
• Dental Implant Placement — Precisely maps bone density and positioning for long-lasting results.
• TMJ And Airway Analysis — Helps diagnose issues related to jaw pain and sleep apnea.
• Wisdom Tooth Evaluations — Determines the exact position of impacted teeth for safer extractions.

Single Scan for Ceph & Pan — Lower Radiation, Maximum Detail

Our CBCT scanner captures both cephalometric and panoramic images in a single scan, reducing radiation exposure while providing a comprehensive view of your dental structures. This means:

• Faster Imaging With Less Radiation — A single scan collects all the necessary data, reducing unnecessary exposure.
• Enhanced Accuracy For Orthodontic And Surgical Planning — Clear, detailed images allow for precise treatment planning.
• More Comfortable Experience — No need for multiple scans or repositioning, making the process quick and efficient.

With the most advanced CBCT imaging on Long Island, we are committed to providing safer, faster, and more precise diagnostics for our patients.

In-House Printing Lab

We take innovation a step further with our in-house 3D printing lab, allowing us to rapidly produce dental models and appliances without relying on third-party labs. This means faster turnaround times, improved accuracy, and custom-fit solutions tailored to each patient.

• Custom retainers printed in-house for superior fit and quicker turnaround
• Faster production of orthodontic models for more efficient treatment planning
• High-precision dental appliances designed with cutting-edge technology

Why In-House 3D Printing Matters

Traditional dental appliances often require weeks of waiting for external labs to manufacture retainers, models, and other devices. By utilizing in-house 3D printing, we can:

• Create precise, custom retainers on the same day or within a few days, ensuring your treatment stays on track.
• Improve accuracy by eliminating potential errors that can occur during shipping or third-party production.
• Reduce costs by streamlining the manufacturing process and eliminating the need for outsourced production.
• Offer faster solutions for lost or broken retainers, so you never have to worry about delays in your treatment.

With our advanced technology and in-house capabilities, we are committed to providing faster, more convenient, and more precise treatment options — helping you achieve a healthier, more confident smile with ease.
