Why T-Scan Is Important for Your Oral Health
Your bite plays a significant role in your overall oral health and comfort. If your teeth do not come together properly when you bite down, it can lead to a host of issues, including:
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Worn or damaged teeth
- TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders
- Chronic headaches
Without addressing these problems, you may continue to experience discomfort, and your teeth and jaw could suffer long-term damage. The T-Scan system helps our dentists pinpoint the exact cause of your bite problems by providing detailed data on how your teeth come together. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your issues, leading to better oral function, improved comfort and a healthier smile.
How Does T-Scan Work?
The T-Scan system uses a small, handheld sensor that is placed in your mouth while you bite down. As you close your mouth, the sensor records the distribution of pressure across all your teeth, showing exactly how much force is being applied and where it’s concentrated. This data is then displayed in real-time on a computer screen, allowing Dr. Warr and Dr. Hyams to immediately see any irregularities in your bite and develop a treatment plan to correct them.
Unlike traditional bite analysis methods, T-Scan provides precise, measurable data that reveals even the slightest imbalance in your bite. This advanced technology ensures that your diagnosis is accurate and that the treatment plan we create is tailored to your exact needs.
What Issues Can T-Scan Help With?
T-Scan is incredibly versatile and can be used to help diagnose and treat a wide variety of dental conditions, including:
- Dental implants: Ensuring a proper bite is crucial when placing dental implants, and T-Scan allows our dentists to ensure the implant fits perfectly within your bite.
- TMJ disorders: If you suffer from jaw pain or other symptoms of TMJ disorder, T-Scan can help pinpoint the cause and guide the treatment process.
- Orthodontic treatment: Whether you are undergoing braces or clear aligner treatment, T-Scan helps monitor your progress and ensures your teeth are moving into their proper positions.
- Restorative treatments: For patients receiving crowns, bridges or full-mouth restorations, T-Scan ensures the new restorations fit seamlessly with your natural bite.
- Initial examinations: During your first visit, T-Scan provides valuable insights into the health and function of your bite, helping us plan treatments that support your long-term oral health.
M-Scan™ Technology for Precision Bite Analysis
In addition to T-Scan™, we also use M-Scan™ technology, a smaller and more specialized version of the T-Scan system. M-Scan provides even more detailed analysis of your bite forces, allowing for the most precise adjustments to your treatment plan. Whether you are receiving orthodontic care, dental implants or treatment for TMJ disorder, M-Scan technology ensures your results are as accurate and effective as possible.
