ITERO SCANNER AND DIGITAL IMPRESSIONS
The ITERO scanner creates a digital impression of your teeth. No more goop, gagging, or discomfort. Using the latest in digital technology, we can take a highly accurate digital impression of your teeth. The new technology ensures a more accurate impression from the start, which results in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience.
Digital impressions give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, and that improves communication during the consultation and treatment process.
Our digital impression scanner captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. The scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. Once we begin the scanning process, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary.
Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser which renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Through digital software, you’ll be able to follow the progress of the scans, including a three-dimensional model of your teeth on our computer screen.
Digital impressions can be used for any orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign®
