Celebrating Orthodontic Health Month in October

October is National Orthodontic Health Month — a perfect time to spotlight the technology that makes modern orthodontics more accurate, comfortable, and personalized. For anyone searching for an orthodontist in Mattituck, NY, or on the north fork in general, Zeifman Orthodontics offers one of the most advanced tools in the field: iTero digital scanning.

What Is iTero and Why Does It Matter?

iTero is a digital scanning system that replaces traditional goopy impressions with fast, precise, and comfortable 3D scans. It creates a highly detailed digital model of your teeth, which can be used to plan treatments such as clear aligners, and even traditional braces.

Compared to old-school molds, iTero scanning:

  • Takes just minutes

  • Is completely non-invasive

  • Provides real-time visuals of your teeth

  • Allows for better fit and faster treatment adjustments

How Zeifman Orthodontics Uses iTero in Treatment

At Zeifman Orthodontics, iTero is fully integrated into every treatment plan. Whether you’re getting braces or aligners, the scan is the first step in crafting a customized, accurate, and effective solution for your smile. This technology helps us deliver better outcomes—with fewer appointments and faster results.

Patients often say they appreciate seeing a simulation of their new smile before treatment even begins. This visual roadmap builds confidence and keeps you involved in your own progress. Our team works closely with each patient to make the most of this technology.

Perfect for Braces and Aligners

Whether you’re choosing metal braces or a clear aligner system, iTero ensures that your treatment is as precise as possible. That means fewer delays, fewer fit issues, and a better experience overall.
