Applications of the iTero Scanner
Invisalign® Treatment
The iTero Scanner is an essential tool for Invisalign treatment. It allows us to design a precise digital plan and show you a simulation of your future smile before treatment begins.
How Does the iTero Scanner Work?
Preparation: We begin by ensuring your teeth are clean and dry.
Scanning: A handheld wand is moved around your teeth, capturing thousands of images per second.
3D Model Creation: The scanner compiles these images into a comprehensive 3D model. Our in-house lab will use the images to print 3D models to fabricate final retainers. These models can also be used for future replacement ease.
Analysis and Planning: We use the model to assess your oral health and design your treatment plan.
