What Are iTero Intraoral Scanners?

iTero Intraoral Scanner is a touch-enabled scanner that gives a more accurate view of your mouth, gums, teeth, and all other oral structures. The best part about using this device is that it makes easier to create digital impressions for Invisalign and other orthodontic procedures. The process is completely free from irritation or pain.

What Are The Benefits?
There are various advantages of using iTero Scanner. This scanner is quicker, cleaner and quite accurate than other traditional impressions. This means patients will experience less time in the chair and come up with an accurate diagnosis.

Since the impressions are completely digital, there are lesser chances of missing out on potential issues. It allows orthodontists to mitigate potential issues in the initial treatment plan.

3D iTero scanning makes it easier to view the effects of a treatment even before you have it.

Traditional impressions require multiple attempts to get the right impression. This might result in an uglier experience for patients. iTero eliminates the need for such type of impressions and can shorten your visit time in the office.

The process of scanning can be stopped and started as many times as possible to ensure the patient’s comfort.

The iTero Scanner makes no space for errors. It helps dentists to create natural-looking bridges, veneers, crowns, and other restorations. It minimizes the discomfort that comes with holding a tray for several minutes.

Invisalign Treatment Using iTero Intraoral Scanner:

Invisalign treatment makes use of clear aligners that are designed from medical-grade plastic. iTero scanner has aligners that are created and tailored to fit your mouth. A new set of aligner is worn in every two weeks as the teeth are shifted into the right place. The length of treatment and cost is comparable to traditional braces.

Other than Invisalign, iTero Intraoral scanners are also used to examine the end results of metal and ceramic brace treatments.

With all of these advantages, iTero scanner is becoming a preferred choice amongst our dentists for developing an effective treatment plan and ensuring a positive outcome.
