Do you remember the days of sitting in the orthodontic chair, watching the dental assistant whip up that mysterious purple goop, then having it sit in your mouth for what felt like an eternity? Hoping it wouldn’t trigger your gag reflex or slide down your throat. Trying to not move while it is setting and still trying to breathe at the same time. Then peeling it away and spending the rest of the day picking remnants out of your hair and teeth. We’re happy to tell you that it is in your past!

Your first visit to Mint Orthodontics is designed to keep you smiling. We’ve kicked old school methods to the curb and replaced them with the best tech out there: the iTero Scanner. Whether you’re exploring Invisalign in Minneapolis, excited about starting LightForce braces, or bringing your kiddo in for their very first consultation, this is a whole new (and way more fun) experience. 

 

What is the iTero Scanner? 

Forget the mess. This magic wand takes lightning-fast, comfy 3D digital impressions of your teeth and gums.  The scanner gently moves around your mouth, snapping thousands of images and building your digital smile right before your eyes. 

The whole process takes just a few minutes. No goop, no gagging, and no stress, just a quick and easy scan, and then you’re on your way. Parents, this means first appointments are a breeze, and kids leave grinning, not grimacing.  

 

Why Patients Love It

The obvious reason is comfort: no goop, no gagging, and no mess. But there’s a lot more to love:

• Speed: Your full 3D scan is ready in minutes
• Comfort: You can breathe, swallow, and even take a break 
• Precision: Digital scans are more accurate than physical molds
• Transparency: You see your own teeth on screen, making it easier for you to understand Dr. Sudit’s recommendations

 

Visualize The Future You

One of the coolest things about the iTero scanner is that you get a sneak peek of your future smile!  It’s like reading the last sentence of a book before you even start it. 

After Dr. Sudit maps out your treatment, the iTero Outcome Simulator lets you preview your new smile even before you’ve started! It will make you want to get the ball rolling asap. 

 

No More Waiting 

In the days of physical molds, getting braces or aligners meant making messy molds, carefully boxing them up,  and shipping them off to a lab, crossing your fingers that it all went well.  If there was even a tiny flaw, you would have to come back in and do it all over again. Not exactly anyone’s idea of fun!

But now, with the iTero scanner, your scans are sent securely and instantly. There’s no shipping delay, no risk of damage, and far fewer do-overs. That means your custom LightForce brackets or Invisalign aligners get made faster, and your treatment starts sooner. 

The best part is that you will need fewer appointments! We know that matters to busy people managing work, school, and all those afternoon plans.
