At Butterfly Braces, Dr. Jones and our team have chosen dentistry's most accurate imaging machine, also known as the i-CAT 3D imaging machine, to enhance treatment care for our patients. Using the i-CAT scanner’s high resolution images, Dr. Jones and our team at Butterfly Braces obtain highly-accurate and detailed three-dimensional views of all anatomies such as bone, teeth, tooth orientation, tooth and nerve relation, airways and sinuses. This 3D imaging allows for enhanced diagnostic accuracy of all structures of the face and neck area, including dental structures, implant planning, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) and airway analysis, orthodontic and oral surgery planning, and to detect pathologies our patients may have, including cysts or tumors.
i-CAT 3D imaging also allows for safety and convenience for our patients. Dr. Jones and our team can take an immediate nine-second scan for patients with lower radiation dosage and without the inconvenience of sending them to a hospital or having to come back for another scan. In the past, it would have taken over an hour to achieve all of these X-rays. i-CAT technology also measures less than two panoramic X-rays or less than two full series of individual tooth X-rays. Once the scan is complete, we are able to share an immediate visual diagnosis to help patients truly visualize and better understand their treatment options. These scans are easily shared with other dental professionals, helping Dr. Jones perform less invasive procedures through increased precision. This, in turn, reduces risks for our patients.
