How the Invisalign Oral Health Scan is Modernizing Care | Sponsored by Invisalign
A healthy smile is about more than just confidence. Doctors say it’s a window to your overall well-being. Oral health plays a significant role in heart health, digestion and how the body functions. Now new technology is helping doctors and patients detect problem areas and issues earlier than ever.
San Diego Orthodontist Dr. Cara Hodgson joins our Laura Cavanaugh to talk about how tooth misalignment and gum health can impact the body beyond the mouth and how advanced new scanning tools are simplifying oral care.
The Invisalign Oral Health Scan is quick, comfortable technology that creates a real-time 3D view of teeth and gums to help detect issues early and guide treatment.
“We use a small, handheld wand and we capture thousands of digital images within seconds that show the patient what’s going on inside their mouth. It reveals things that they’ve never seen before,” said Dr. Hodgson. “It shows us tooth misalignment, areas of tooth decay, as well as areas of their bite that may not be fitting together so well.”
It also provides a preview of what your teeth would look like aligned. The Invisalign Oral Health Scan creates an in-face visualization, which shows potential Invisalign treatment outcomes.
