iTero® Digital Impression System
Conventional vs Digital Impressions
Using an iTero scanner, your orthodontist can take a highly accurate digital impression of your teeth. The iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. Digital impressions also give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.
How Does it Work?
The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. The scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. Once your orthodontist begins the scanning process, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary. The iTero scanner is used mainly for Invisalign® treatment.
