iTero

WE ARE PROUD OWNERS OF AN iTero® 5D INTRAORAL SCANNER

We’ll Make a Great First Impression

The iTero Element Scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our iTero Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty based impressions, but it’s faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.

  • No goop or gag to worry about
  • Fast, accurate impression
  • Ideal for Invisalign ® clear aligners and retainers
  • See a simulation of your potential post-treatment smile

During the impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would. You can even pause during the process if you need to sneeze or just want to ask a question. The scanner gives us a 3D model of your mouth that we use with all Invisalign services including the Invisalign Outcome Simulator to show you what your new smile might look like.

You and your orthodontist can follow the scanning progress on the screen.

THE 3D MODEL

The completed scan is available as a 3D model that your orthodontist can use to begin planning your Invisalign treatment.

THE INVISALIGN OUTCOME SIMULATOR
