Introducing: iTero Align Oral Health Suite

A Message from Dr. Bill

At Beacon Place Dental Group, we are using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology: a state-of-the-art iTero intraoral scanner that captures a high-definition, comprehensive digital map of your mouth in 2 minutes. We believe the best clinical outcomes happen when you are an active partner in your health journey!

To support our “Smilewell” philosophy, we have fully integrated the Align Oral Health Suite just for you! No messy putty, no discomfort. Just pure, precise, visual data. At Beacon Place Dental Group, we want you to feel comfortable and understand what each visit means. This 3D scan will give us a baseline to monitor, protect, and optimize your smile over time.

What Is the Align Oral Health Suite?

The Align Oral Health Suite is a collection of digital tools integrated into the iTero scanner that helps our team identify, monitor, and communicate changes in your oral health with you. Think of it as an interactive 3D “dashboard” for your mouth.

At your next visit, our team will review and evaluate your scan with you, focusing on the 5 Pillars of Oral Longevity.

The five areas of the Align Oral Health Suite: tooth health, alignment, bite, overview, and gum health

Over the next few months, we will do a deep dive into each of these pillars. For now, here is a quick look at what we will analyze together during your next appointment.

Tooth Health: Detection and Wear

Teeth naturally experience wear throughout life, but excessive wear can be caused by teeth grinding, clenching, acid erosion, or other factors. We look beyond the surface to identify microscopic enamel wear. We also use specialized near-infrared imaging (NIRI) to find hidden decay between teeth before it requires major restoration.

Gum Health: Visual Mapping

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We can map the contours of your gum tissue to track recession and pinpoint areas of hidden inflammation.

Alignment: Structural Harmony

Teeth can gradually shift throughout adulthood. Whether caused by aging, missing teeth, or bite changes, movement can affect both appearance and function. Proper alignment is not just about aesthetics; it can prevent premature tooth wear and make maintaining a clean smile easier.

Bite: Occlusal Force Distribution

We measure how your teeth meet. An unbalanced bite can lead to cracked teeth, chipped restorations, and jaw pain.

Time Lapse and Personalized Reporting

By comparing scans year over year, we can show you exactly how your teeth are shifting, wearing, or receding over time. We can then text a personalized 3D health report directly to your phone.

How Is It Going to Help You?

The 3D data provided through your scans allows us to intercept dental issues in their earliest stages, preserving your natural tooth structure and saving you time in the chair.

Our team wants you to feel like an active part of your oral health journey and to be educated every step of the way. Instead of only showing X-rays or giving verbal explanations, we can show you a colored 3D model of your mouth and help answer your questions.

Benefits of Your 3D Scan

  1. No messy impression material
  2. An immediate view of your 3D scan
  3. Easier communication between you and our team
  4. The ability to compare visits over time for optimal results

From Brookline to Gillette Stadium

As the official team dentist for the New England Patriots, our role at Beacon Place Dental Group goes beyond treating injuries after they happen. We prioritize prevention. Athletes can receive a quick digital scan that is used to create a properly fitted, non-obstructive sport guard.

This month, we are spotlighting how we use TruFit custom digital guard technology to deliver the same championship-standard protection to our patients in Brookline.

TruFit Sports Mouthguards

Generic store-bought guards are bulky, can shift during recreational activities, and often restrict breathing. This is why our team uses custom TruFit sports mouthguards.

Creating a mouthguard with custom scans eliminates the bulky feeling, which helps players call out plays on the field, breathe properly, and, most importantly, protect their teeth. These mouthguards are made with energy-absorbing material that redistributes forces away from your front teeth, reducing the risk of dental fractures and soft-tissue lacerations.

Whether you play football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, or basketball, protecting your teeth should be just as important as the rest of your gear. At your next visit, ask about a scan for your own custom TruFit sports guard.

From Dr. Bill to You

We strive to go above and beyond for all patients who walk through our doors. Whether you’re looking for a digital scan to assess your oral health or a custom mouthguard, we’re here to make sure you’re comfortable and that your experience is tailored to your unique needs.

Our team at Beacon Place Dental Group invites you to experience the iTero Align Oral Health Suite and see how this technology can help you view your smile in a whole new way.
