Digital Impression System
Many sources of orofacial pain stem from how the teeth come together and the way this affects the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the jaw joint, or TMJ. A misaligned bite, for example, can place excess pressure on the joint and create pain and stiffness felt throughout the head and neck. Before we can diagnose the source of a patient’s pain, we need to take an impression of their bite so we can have an accurate picture of their oral orientation. In the past, this would have involved a patient literally biting down into a mold filled with dental putty. Not only was the putty itself gooey and odd-tasting, but having a patient who’s already in pain bite down onto something could be very uncomfortable as well!
Thankfully, we’ve brought impressions into the 21st-century with our 100% digital system. Gone are the putty and the mold! Instead, we simply scan the mouth with a small handheld device, and it captures dozens of unique images of the teeth. Then, on a nearby monitor, these images are pieced together by sophisticated software to form a full dental impression. Compared to the old way, this approach is dramatically faster, more comfortable, and never requires time-wasting retakes.
