Benefits of Digital Imaging
Why our patients appreciate modern orthodontic imaging technology.
Lower Radiation
Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film, keeping you and your family safer during routine imaging.
Instant Results
Images appear on screen within seconds, allowing Dr. Martineau to review and discuss findings with you during the same visit.
Enhanced Detail
Digital imaging captures far more detail than film, helping identify issues earlier and plan treatment with greater precision.
Patient Comfort
3D scanning eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions, making the imaging process faster and more comfortable.
Precise Planning
3D models allow Dr. Martineau to plan every aspect of your treatment with accuracy, leading to more predictable results.
Eco-Friendly
Digital imaging eliminates the need for chemical processing, film waste, and storage, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.
Our Imaging Technology
VIVA Orthodontics uses digital panoramic X-rays for a comprehensive view of all teeth and jaw structures, cephalometric X-rays for evaluating facial growth and profile, and 3D intraoral scanning for creating precise digital models of your teeth and bite.
These tools work together to give Dr. Martineau a complete picture of your orthodontic needs, enabling treatment plans that are more accurate, efficient, and comfortable.
Cone Beam 3D Imaging (CBCT)
For cases that require a deeper look—such as TMJ evaluations, airway assessments, impacted teeth, or complex jaw relationships—our office uses the X-21 by Vatech, a modern 3D CBCT scanner.
Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, a CBCT scan captures the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures in true three dimensions. This allows Dr. Martineau to evaluate joint shape, bone density, root positions, and airway dimensions with far greater detail—leading to more confident diagnoses and more precise treatment planning.
