What we can see with the iCAT
The iCAT Cone Beam technology provides 3D data that allows us to screen for dental problems and create a dental treatment plan. Along with 3D, is the ability to take Cephalometric images, which is the side view of the skull allowing us to view the teeth, jawbone and soft tissues with views of the jaw in relation to the cheekbone. We can also view panoramic images, which shows a 2D view in a half-circle from ear to ear.
With the iCAT system, we can scan for:
| • |
Teeth that are impacted. This includes teeth that never descended and your wisdom teeth. |

Diagnosing TMJ disorders. |
