Icon Orthodontics houses one of the few on-site three-dimensional imaging systems in Alberta. The i-CAT Cone Beam Three-Dimensional Dental Imaging System allows for increased diagnostic capability and further reduces radiation exposure to our patients. Below is a sample image from this amazing unit:



Compared to other three-dimensional imaging systems, the i-CAT offers the follow advantages:
  • Patients remain sitting upright during the scan
  • Scan time is only 20 seconds
  • Radiation exposure is further reduced
  • Extraction of all diagnostic and treatment planning data is possible from just one scan
All images are reviewed and summarized by a Dental Radiologist to ensure that the entire contents of the scan are reviewed, not just those pertaining to orthodontic treatment.

Our ability to utilize this advanced technology in the provision of patient care ensures that all available information is utilized when making decisions regarding treatment. This optimizes the care that we provide as well as the treatment outcomes.
