T-Scan (digital occlusion)

Family Dental is proud to offer T-Scan technology as part of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest quality of dental care. By utilizing T-Scan, our team of dental professionals can accurately diagnose and treat issues related to the bite, such as malocclusion and occlusal interferences. This non-invasive technology allows us to monitor the progress of ongoing treatments and make informed decisions about how to improve our patients' dental health. At Family Dental, we are dedicated to providing our patients with a comfortable and positive dental experience.

T-Scan is a state-of-the-art digital occlusion analysis system that has revolutionized the way dentists and dental professionals diagnose and treat issues related to the bite. This innovative technology allows dental practitioners to identify and correct malocclusion, occlusal interferences, and other issues that can lead to temporomandibular joint disorders, tooth wear, and other dental problems.

T-Scan works by using a thin sensor that is placed on the patient's teeth, and a software program that displays real-time data on a computer screen. The sensor is connected to the software, which provides the dentist with information about how the teeth come together when the patient bites down. The information is displayed as a color-coded image, with each colour indicating the force that is being applied to each tooth.

T-Scan allows the dentist to identify any areas where the teeth are coming together too forcefully or not forcefully enough. By identifying these areas, the dentist can then adjust the patient's bite to improve their dental health and overall well-being. The system is particularly useful for identifying issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, such as subtle changes in the way the teeth come together over time.

The T-Scan system is easy to use and non-invasive, which means that it can be used on patients of all ages. It also provides accurate and reliable data that can help dentists make informed decisions about how to treat their patients. In addition to diagnosing and treating dental issues, T-Scan can also be used to monitor the progress of ongoing treatments, such as orthodontic care or restorative dentistry.

One of the most significant benefits of T-Scan is that it can improve the overall patient experience. Because the system is non-invasive and does not require any messy materials to be applied to the teeth, it can be more comfortable for patients than other diagnostic tools. Additionally, T-Scan can help patients feel more involved in their own dental care, as they can see the results of the analysis in real-time and better understand the issues affecting their dental health.

In conclusion, T-Scan is an innovative and effective tool that can help dentists diagnose and treat a wide range of dental issues. By providing real-time data on how the teeth come together, T-Scan can identify areas of malocclusion, occlusal interferences, and other issues that can lead to dental problems. It is easy to use, non-invasive, and can improve the overall patient experience. With T-Scan, dentists can provide their patients with the highest quality of care and help them achieve optimal dental health.
