i-Cat

Dr. Inna Gellerman is the first orthodontist in Huntington, Long Island to introduce in-office dynamic three-dimensional i-Cat cone beam digital imaging.

This exciting new imaging process provides a complete view of all anatomic structures at a reduced cost and with significantly less radiation than traditional medical C-T scans.

The i-Cat's ability to reconstruct 3D models results in more precise orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

How will i-CAT Imaging Enhance Your Treatment?
  • 3D imaging of facial bones assists in diagnosing skeletal asymmetries
  • Jaw to jaw relationships assists in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Position of impacted or un-erupted teeth helps to determine need and timing for orthodontic treatment.
  • Computerized construction of actual three-dimensional models helps robotically bend special orthodontic wires to facilitate tooth movement, therefore decreasing treatment time by at least 40%.
  • 3D visualization of diseases and disorders of jaw bone as well as defects of the temporomandibular joint.

The Benefits of Cone Beam Technology:
  • 90% reduction in amount of radiation per study.
  • Reduction of CAT scan image costs for patients.
  • Simultaneous scanning of the entire upper and lower jaws.
  • Onsite access to records thru Dolphin Imaging Digital Records.
