Dr. Scott Finlay and his team at his Annapolis, MD dental office are leading the way in providing patients with the latest and most advanced technology in smile design. Dr. Scott Finlay is one of the few dentists in the area to offer Invisalign®, an innovative system for straightening teeth without the use of metal braces. This system uses clear aligners, which are like retainers, to gently move teeth into the proper position.
How Does It Work?
With the use of the iTero Element Intraoral Scanner, Invisalign® Outcome Simulator, and Real-Time Visualization, Dr. Finlay and his team can create a 3D model of what the patient's smile will look like before treatment begins.
The two primary technologies used in capturing detailed images of the teeth are the iTero Element Intraoral Scanner, a digital scanner that uses CAD/CAM software, and the Lava C.O.S. The CAD/CAM software allows Dr. Finlay to change the position of each patient’s teeth. The software also gives him the exact measurements for the clear plastic aligners. The iTero Element Intraoral Scanner allows him to create an image of the patient’s projected smile and assess the progress of each stage of the Invisalign treatment plan. With the ability to visualize the current and projected smile on the computer screen, Dr. Finlay ensures the results of using Invisalign match your expectations.
With the Lava C.O.S. imaging technology, Dr. Finlay can use an optical wand with a tiny camera lens to capture detailed video images of the patient’s teeth without having to use a tray filled with putty-like impression material. By using these advanced tools and technology, Dr. Finlay and his team are able to offer the highest quality care and ensure the best, most comfortable dental experience for each patient.
The technology behind Invisalign is one of the reasons many are choosing this option for a straighter smile. With years of experience in customizing treatment plans for Invisalign, Dr. Finlay is committed to providing the highest quality care for the best and most comfortable dental experience.
