Walkow Orthodontics Eliminates Physical Impressions with iOC Scanner

Walkow Orthodontics, one of the top invisalign providers in the country with practices in Irvine and Newport Beach, continues to innovate as we embrace cutting edge orthodontic technology by being the first practice in Orange County to use a iOC scanner, eliminating the need to take physical impressions of a patient’ mouth.

Now, instead of the traditional process of taking oral impressions which can be a cause of discomfort for patients, Dr Walkow is able to use the iOC scanner which employs laser technology to capture images of the teeth and soft tissue structures of the mouth, resulting in much more accurate, digitally perfect orthodontic impressions. The process significantly improvs the patient experience, provides more accurate impressions upon which to proceed with treatment, and results in much more effective and complete treatment efficiency.

The iOC Scanner is the product of Cadent, now a part of Align Technology. It scans the mouth with a radiation-free laser and in six to eight minutes renders a digitally perfect, 3-D impression of the teeth and soft tissue structures. The iOC Scanner can be used for any orthodontic treatment including traditional metal braces and clear aligner-based orthodontic systems and it is the only product that can be used with Invisalign. Impressions taken with the iOC Scanner are perfect every time and last a lifetime so that patients who lose their retainers can seamlessly replace them no matter where they are or how long they were without the retainer.

As one of the top Orthodontists in Orange County and with Orthodontic offices in Irvine and Newport Beach, Walkow Orthodontics is a longtime staple in the Southern California Orthodontic community. Dr Walkow's top priority is to provide you with the highest quality orthodontic expertise in a friendly, comfortable environment.
