Remember the old way of taking dental impressions? A tray full of cold, goopy putty that made you gag. At Innovative Orthodontics, we’ve left that messy, uncomfortable process in the past. We use the state-of-the-art iTero® Digital Impression System to create a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth—no goop, no gagging, no discomfort!
A Better, More Comfortable Experience
The iTero scanner is all about improving your experience and your results. Traditional putty impressions were unpleasant, and they weren’t always perfectly accurate, sometimes requiring multiple attempts. The iTero scanner ensures a perfect impression from the very start, which leads to better-fitting appliances and a smoother treatment journey for you.
How Does It Work?
The process is quick, easy, and fascinating to watch!
We use a compact, hand-held wand to digitally scan the structure of your teeth and gums. The scanner uses a radiation-free laser to capture thousands of images per second. In just a few minutes, it renders a digitally perfect, 3D map of your smile right on our computer screen. You get to see your teeth in 3D, and we can even show you a simulation of your potential results!
The iTero® Advantage
- Comfort: It’s a fast and easy scan without any messy putty.
- Accuracy: The digital scans are far more precise than traditional impressions.
- Speed: We can instantly send your digital model to create your custom appliances, like Invisalign® aligners.
- Interactive: You can see your smile from every angle, helping you better understand your treatment.
The iTero scanner is just one more way we use advanced technology to make your orthodontic experience the best it can be.
