iTero Lets You Say Goodbye To Dental Impressions

Harnessing Precision with iTero Scanner Technology

The iTero Scanner at My Orthodontist

In the field of orthodontics, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing diagnostic precision, improving treatment planning, and ensuring outstanding patient outcomes. One such revolutionary advancement is the iTero scanner, a state-of-the-art digital scanning tool that has transformed traditional orthodontic diagnostics and treatment processes. At our practice in West Orange, we are proud to offer the iTero scanner as part of our commitment to incorporating cutting-edge orthodontic technology for the benefit of our patients.

What Is an iTero Scanner?

The iTero scanner is an innovative digital imaging tool that creates highly accurate, 3D models of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions that can be uncomfortable, time-consuming, and less precise, the iTero scanner uses advanced optical technology to capture thousands of images of the inside of your mouth in minutes. These images are then assembled into a precise 3D model of your mouth, which can be viewed immediately on a computer screen.

Advantages of Using iTero Scanner Technology

• Enhanced Comfort and Patient Experience: The iTero scanner eliminates the need for traditional putty-based impressions that many patients find uncomfortable. The digital scanning process is touch-free, quick, and comfortable, making it ideal for patients who gag easily or have anxiety about dental procedures.
• Superior Accuracy and Efficiency: With the iTero scanner, orthodontists can capture detailed and accurate images of the oral structures. This level of precision is crucial for creating orthodontic appliances, such as Invisalign aligners, that fit perfectly and work effectively. The accuracy of iTero scans ensures that treatments are planned with a higher degree of precision, leading to better outcomes and more efficient treatment timelines.
• Immediate Visualization and Improved Communication: The iTero scanner allows for immediate visualization of the teeth and bite in 3D, which can be a powerful communication tool. Orthodontists can use these images to explain the specific orthodontic issues and demonstrate how the treatment will progress. Patients benefit from being able to see their current dental state and compare it to the simulated final results, enhancing their understanding and comfort with the treatment process.
• Integration with Orthodontic Treatment Planning: iTero scans can be seamlessly integrated with other orthodontic technology systems used for treatment planning, including software that designs Invisalign aligners. This integration streamlines the treatment planning process, reduces turnaround times for orthodontic appliances, and enhances the overall treatment efficiency.

The iTero Scanner in Orthodontic Procedures

At our practice, the iTero scanner is used across a wide range of orthodontic treatments. Here’s how it impacts various procedures:

• Invisalign Treatment: For patients undergoing Invisalign treatment, the iTero scanner is indispensable. It provides the detailed images necessary to customize the series of aligners they will wear over the course of their treatment. This customization with iTero scans not only ensures a better fit but also a more predictable outcome.
• Orthodontic Assessments: The iTero scanner is also crucial during initial orthodontic assessments and throughout the treatment process. It helps monitor the progress of tooth movement and allows for adjustments to the treatment plan based on real-time data.
• Restorative Procedures: Beyond orthodontics, the iTero scanner is instrumental in planning and executing various restorative dental procedures. Whether it’s crowns, bridges, or veneers, iTero’s precise imaging ensures that restorations are designed to fit perfectly with the unique contours of each patient’s teeth.
