The Brodsky difference
Advanced tools are only as meaningful as the people using them.
Technology gives us better information. Experience helps us know what to do with it. At Brodsky Orthodontics, Dr. Joel, Dr. Charles, and our caring team use both to make treatment more comfortable, precise, and personal.
That is innovative care built around your smile, your goals, and your life.
Technology FAQs
Answers about digital scanning, smile previews, and retainers.
Here are straightforward answers to the questions patients and parents ask us most often.
01 What is an iTero digital scan?
An iTero scan uses a small handheld wand to capture detailed images of your teeth. Specialized software combines those images into an accurate 3D model that our orthodontists can use for diagnosis and treatment planning.
02 Is digital scanning comfortable?
Yes. There are no bulky trays or impression material. The wand moves gently around your teeth, and the scan can be paused whenever you need a quick break.
03 Does the iTero scanner use radiation?
No. iTero digital impressions use optical scanning technology rather than X-rays, so the scanning process does not expose you to radiation.
04 How long does an iTero scan take?
Most scans are completed in just a few minutes. The exact time can vary, but the digital process is designed to be efficient and comfortable.
05 Can iTero be used for both braces and Invisalign® treatment?
Yes. A precise digital model is useful for planning many types of orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign® clear aligners and braces.
06 Can I preview my future smile?
For appropriate Invisalign® cases, the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator can create a visual preview of how your smile may look after treatment. It is a helpful planning and motivation tool, not a guarantee of an exact result.
07 What does iTero TimeLapse show?
TimeLapse technology compares scans taken at different appointments. It helps our team and you see how tooth positions and your smile change over time.
08 What is YOAT wire bending?
YOAT is a digital wire-bending system that shapes orthodontic wire from a precise digital model of your teeth. At Brodsky Orthodontics, it can be used to create a highly customized fixed retainer.
09 What are the benefits of a digitally shaped fixed retainer?
The wire is designed to closely follow the contours of your teeth. That customized fit supports retention while remaining discreet and comfortable.
10 Will every patient receive a YOAT fixed retainer?
Retention is personalized. Dr. Joel or Dr. Charles will recommend the retainer type that best fits your smile, treatment history, and long-term needs.
