From 3D digital scanning to cone beam imaging and BPA-free materials — every tool in our office is chosen to make your treatment more accurate, more comfortable, and safer.
Zipper Orthodontics uses a fully digital workflow. Every patient gets iTero 3D scanning — no goopy impressions. Our digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation. For complex cases, we use CBCT 3D imaging to see the jaw, airway, and teeth in full detail. You can preview your results on screen before treatment begins. Every material we use is BPA-free and safe for your body.
The iTero scanner captures a 3D model of your teeth and gums in minutes. It uses a small, wand-like device — no goopy putty, no gagging, and no chemicals. You can watch the scan build on screen in real time.
Digital scans are up to 7 times more accurate than putty impressions. That means better-fitting aligners, more precise appliances, and more predictable results.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) takes a full 3D image of your teeth, jaw, airway, and joints in one quick, low-radiation scan. Unlike flat 2D X-rays, it shows what's hidden — trapped teeth, bone quality, root positions, and how open your airway is.
This is key to Dr. Zipper's airway-focused approach. CBCT lets him measure airway size, spot nasal blockages, and see how your jaw relates to your breathing — details a regular X-ray simply can't show.
All X-rays at Zipper Orthodontics are digital. They use up to 90% less radiation than old-style film X-rays and show results instantly — no waiting, no chemical processing. Images are saved digitally so we can zoom in, enhance, and compare them over time to track your progress.
Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack — a BPA-free, medical-grade plastic designed just for moving teeth. It applies gentle, steady pressure at each stage, so teeth move more smoothly and with less discomfort than generic aligner materials.
Each set of aligners is custom-cut based on your digital treatment plan. This ensures an exact fit and controlled movement at every stage.
ClinCheck is Invisalign's digital planning tool. Using your iTero scan, Dr. Zipper maps out every step of your tooth movement in a 3D simulation. You can see how your teeth will shift, what your smile will look like at the end, and how long it will take — before you commit.
This lets Dr. Zipper fine-tune the plan, factor in airway needs, and make sure every detail is right before a single aligner is made.
Every material that touches your teeth is chosen to be safe for your body. This includes BPA-free bracket glue, BPA-free aligner trays, nickel-free options for sensitive patients, and medical-grade wires. Digital scanning means no chemical putty ever enters your mouth.
This isn't a marketing claim — it's a clinical rule we follow for every patient, every treatment, every time.
Keeping you safe is not optional — it's built into everything we do. We follow OSHA and CDC rules for cleaning and infection control.
All reusable tools are cleaned in a hospital-grade steam autoclave — high heat and pressure kill germs before every use.
Gloves, masks, suction tips, and other single-use items are disposed of after every patient. No item is reused between patients.
We follow OSHA and CDC infection control rules — the same standards used in hospitals and surgical centers.
iTero is a digital scanner that creates a 3D model of your teeth and gums in minutes — no goopy putty needed. It uses a small wand that takes thousands of images per second. It's faster, more comfortable, and up to 7 times more accurate than old-style impressions.
CBCT is a 3D imaging tool that captures your teeth, jaw, airway, and joints in one quick scan. Unlike a flat 2D X-ray, it gives a full 3D view. This helps Dr. Zipper check airway health, find trapped teeth, assess jaw growth, and plan treatment with a level of detail that regular X-rays can't match.
Invisalign uses SmartTrack — a BPA-free, medical-grade plastic made just for moving teeth. Dr. Zipper plans your treatment digitally with ClinCheck software, which shows every stage of movement from start to finish. You can preview your results before you begin. Custom aligners are then precision-cut and shipped to the office.
