i‐CAT®
We're proud to house a state-of-the-art Craniofacial Imaging Center in our orthodontic office, known as Brodsky Imaging. This center is equipped with the highly acclaimed i-CAT FLX Cone Beam CT scanner, a revolutionary device that provides our patients with incredibly detailed, low-radiation, three-dimensional images.
This cutting-edge technology allows our doctors, led by Dr. Brodsky, to capture high-definition, 3D scans of our patients' upper and lower jaws in under five seconds. This single, swift scan provides all the necessary x-rays required for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
The i-CAT FLX cone beam scanner is instrumental in creating 3D diagnostic records, which are crucial for developing an accurate diagnosis and designing the most effective treatment plan for our patients. This advanced technology offers detailed views of the face, head, and teeth at a fraction of the radiation of any other dental X-ray.
The i-CAT scan not only uses the least amount of radiation of any dental X-ray machine, but it also delivers exceptionally accurate results. Moreover, this digital system is environmentally friendly as it does not require processing chemicals.
The i-CAT scan provides us with high-quality 3D images of the teeth, supporting bone, jaws, jaw joints, and other bony structures, all of which are vital for diagnosing and treating a wide range of common dental problems.
Our mission at Brodsky Orthodontics is to ensure that your teeth fit together properly, resulting in a healthy, natural, and radiant smile. This also means ensuring optimal harmony between the teeth and jaw joints. The i-CAT scans are instrumental in helping us achieve the best overall treatment results.
