Exciting Breakthroughs in Oral Cancer Prevention

The VELscope® Vx has been skyrocketing in the orthodontics world. It’s an improved and powerful device that is safe for examinations. This piece of technology can detect pre-cancers, cancers, and other oral diseases. The blue fluorescent light is the main source in making everything visible that the eye won’t be able to catch. Below are some of the major advantages you can expect from orthodontics who use the VELscope® Vx.

1. It uses noninvasive wavelengths to identify cellular, structural, or metabolic changes in the patient to alert the orthodontist to any diseases.

2. These high-tech examinations will not add any time to hygiene exams, as the average test lasts only two minutes.

3. It provides easy to see visual information for both the orthodontist and the patient so that they can make the most informed decision, together.

4. It’s instrumental in establishing lesion margins for later surgery.

5. It is one of the most important tools to quickly identify and stop oral cancer.

The VELscope® Vx has improved the way many orthodontics examine and check their patient's oral health.
