iTero 3D Digital Scanner
The iTero is an intraoral 3D scanner that digitally creates a perfect model of your teeth and gums. The tool is a handheld device that scans every nook and cranny in your oral cavity.
If you’ve ever had a mold taken of your mouth, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Orthodontic trays don’t always fit your mouth, and the molding gels and mixtures can trigger gag reflexes. These old-school molds can also be inaccurate, which requires you to undergo another molding process.
We want our patients to feel comfortable and informed about their orthodontic treatment goals. iTero improves these factors by using a handheld device to scan and model your current smile. We also use the iTero to project and map out your treatment and results.
Benefits of iTero Scanner include:
- Highly Accurate Oral Models — No bubbles or troublesome flaws in your impression.
- No Messy Molds — No paste, gel, or dental trays are necessary.
- Customized Treatment — iTero allows us to map out your treatment plan and results.
