the itero® digital scanner: precision you can see

Experience Next-Level Accuracy with the iTero Scanner

At Alex Orthodontics, precision begins with innovation. The iTero® digital scanner captures highly detailed 3D images of your teeth and bite in just minutes, allowing Dr. Ashleigh Alex to plan treatment with exceptional accuracy.

Key Benefits of the iTero Scanner:

No messy or uncomfortable impression materials
Faster and more accurate scans for better treatment planning
Real-time 3D images you can view instantly
Seamless integration with Invisalign® aligners and orthodontic appliances for increased fit

The iTero scanner reflects our commitment to combining expert care with modern technology so every patient can experience orthodontics that feels more comfortable, more precise, and more personal.

Instead of traditional impressions that rely on sticky molds, the iTero scanner uses a small handheld wand to create a complete digital model of your smile. The process is quick, comfortable, and completely mess-free. Patients appreciate how easy and noninvasive it feels, especially children and teens who may be nervous about traditional impressions.

Each scan produces a real-time 3D visualization of your mouth so you can see exactly what Dr. Alex sees. Whether you are beginning Invisalign® treatment, getting braces, or having a customized appliance made, the iTero system helps ensure a precise fit and a smoother treatment experience from start to finish.

digital x-rays that guide smarter treatment planning

Every confident smile begins with a clear picture. At Alex Orthodontics, Dr. Ashleigh Alex uses advanced digital imaging to understand every detail of your teeth, bite, and facial structure before recommending treatment.

During your initial visit, Dr. Alex captures panoramic (Pan) and cephalometric (Ceph) X-rays to create a full digital view of your mouth and jaw. These images show your teeth, bone structure, and growth patterns, giving Dr. Alex the insights needed to design the best treatment approach for your smile.

Unlike older X-ray systems, digital imaging provides sharper and more detailed results while using significantly less radiation. The process is fast, comfortable, and completely noninvasive, allowing Dr. Alex to diagnose with confidence and precision.

Digital imaging serves as the foundation for every personalized treatment plan, whether you are beginning Invisalign®, getting braces, or exploring early orthodontic care for your child. These insights help ensure your treatment starts with clarity and accuracy.

Key Benefits of Digital Imaging:

High-resolution images for precise diagnosis and planning
Safer technology with minimal radiation exposure
Immediate results with no waiting for film to develop
Clear communication so you can see and understand your treatment path

By combining advanced digital imaging with years of orthodontic expertise, Dr. Alex ensures that every plan is built on clarity, accuracy, and care.

3d printing, custom retainers and appliances made just for you

At Alex Orthodontics, innovation meets personalization. Dr. Ashleigh Alex uses advanced in-house 3D printing technology to create custom retainers and highly accurate 3D models that support treatment planning and precision care.

After completing your digital scan and if necessary for your treatment plan, Dr. Alex will design and print models directly from your unique 3D data. These models allow her to visualize every detail of your bite and create retainers that fit comfortably and securely. By printing in-house, she can ensure accuracy, quality, and faster turnaround times when new or replacement retainers are needed.

For specialized appliances such as palate expanders and night guards, Dr. Alex partners with a state-of-the-art orthodontic lab that uses advanced materials and technology to deliver the same level of precision and excellence her patients expect. Together, these digital and laboratory solutions create a seamless experience that combines speed, quality, and personalized care.

Custom retainers printed in-house for a precise and comfortable fit
Digital 3D models that enhance treatment accuracy and planning
Fast production and easy replacement when needed
Collaboration with a trusted lab for complex appliances such as expanders and night guards
