iTero Scanner

The iTero Intraoral Scanner is an all-digital scanner that can complete a full-arch teeth scan in as little as 60 seconds. Our doctors use the iTero scanner to get excellent and detailed digital impressions for study models, Invisalign treatment, and other appliances like retainers and expanders. It is an alternative to taking old-fashioned impressions that required patients to bite down on oozing, messy putty to create an accurate mold. These messy molds were also subject to many imperfections, tears, and voids which could affect the fit and efficacy of orthodontic hardware. With iTero, we can skip the goop and get a clean and precise digital impression.

Our patients can relax while our team moves the scanning wand around your mouth. The scanning unit combines laser and LED light to record 3D images of your teeth and soft tissues. The iTero intraoral scanner captures 6,000 incredibly detailed and accurate images per secondโ€“ which means your whole mouth scan is complete in just a matter of minutes!

Then, youโ€™ll be able to view the impression of your mouth on a nearby screen. This review invites you to participate in the process and will offer you a greater understanding of the orthodontic adjustments or appliances planned for your treatment. The 100% digital impression is then forwarded to our dental laboratory where custom Invisalign trays and orthodontic appliances are made to the exact specifications of our iTero, ensuring a perfect fit and great results!
