Accurate and Efficient Orthodontic Scanning
Orthodontic treatment has evolved with the introduction of iTero™ digital impressions. This state-of-the-art technology is essential for precise treatment planning and effective orthodontic care. The IOC Scanner captures the detailed contours of your teeth and gums, producing an accurate digital scan within minutes.
How Does iTero™ Work?
The iTero™ system utilizes a handheld wand to take a digital, 3D image of your teeth. This process is flexible, allowing the clinician to pause as needed.
You can see the 3D image in real time on a screen, making it easy to understand your treatment plan. Once the scan is complete, the digital image is sent electronically to an orthodontic lab for appliance fabrication. The accuracy and detail of the iTero™ scan surpass those of traditional impressions, providing superior results.
Benefits of iTero™ Teeth Scanning
- Eliminates Traditional Impressions: Say goodbye to the most invasive procedure in daily orthodontic care. With iTero™, there’s no need for the uncomfortable and messy traditional impressions that many patients dread.
- Superior Accuracy: iTero™ ensures high precision by minimizing distortion from patient movement during the scan. This leads to more accurate impressions compared to traditional methods, which can be affected by movement, removal, or disinfection processes.
- Onscreen Visualization: The ability to visualize the scan onscreen allows for immediate adjustments. This means the ideal orthodontic scan can be achieved on the first try, saving time and increasing efficiency.
- Increased Patient Comfort: By eliminating the goop and gagging associated with traditional impressions, iTero™ significantly enhances patient comfort. The digital process is clean, quick, and hassle-free.
- Single-Use Imaging Shield: iTero™ employs a single-use imaging shield to ensure maximum cleanliness and hygiene, which is crucial in maintaining patient health and safety.
Why Choose iTero™?
When you choose iTero™ for your orthodontic scans, you are choosing a modern, patient-centric approach to dental care. The benefits extend beyond just the scan itself and impact the entire treatment journey. From the initial consultation to the final results, iTero™ plays a crucial role in ensuring that patients receive the best possible care.
