What Is the iTero Scanner?
iTero is a digital scanner which creates an “impression,” or a three-dimensional model of your mouth that is displayed on a screen. It is an excellent alternative to the traditional bite-down method, which often puts uncomfortable pressure on certain areas of the mouth. Furthermore, the iTero scanner creates a far more accurate image of your teeth and surrounding oral structures than a physical impression -- and, because it is stored digitally, this model will be easy to reference throughout the course of your treatment plan.
Invisalign and iTero
One of the most common and successful integrations with iTero is with Invisalign clear aligners. By creating a digital impression of your mouth, Dr. Page is able to see in detail the exact position of your teeth and create a treatment plan that will realign the bite into the proper position using Invisalign’s series of clear, removable aligners. These scans can be quickly and securely sent to Invisalign technicians to ensure your aligners are created according to the precise dimensions of your smile.
The benefits of iTero and Invisalign include…
- Aligners that fit better and more comfortably
- Less need for redos or adjustments
- Scans are uploaded quickly to the Invisalign lab
- A more successful treatment plan overall
