iTero™ Digital Impressions – Speed, Accuracy & Comfort
At Dr. B Smiles Orthodontics, we are committed to providing advanced technology that improves accuracy, comfort, and results. That’s why we use the iTero digital scanner — a state-of-the-art 3D imaging system that eliminates messy impressions and enhances your orthodontic experience from start to finish.
What Is the iTero Scanner?
The iTero scanner is a high-precision digital imaging system that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth and bite in just minutes. Instead of traditional putty impressions, the scanner uses a small handheld wand to create a digital model of your smile.
This modern approach allows us to plan treatment more accurately while keeping you comfortable during your visit.
Why Do We Use iTero Technology?
Digital scanning improves both the patient experience and treatment outcomes. With iTero, we can:
- Capture highly accurate 3D images
- Create precise orthodontic treatment plans
- Improve the fit of clear aligners
- Reduce the need for retakes or adjustments
- Shorten appointment times
This technology allows Dr. B and our team to diagnose and plan with greater precision, helping you achieve predictable, efficient results. Watch the video below to learn more:
Benefits of Teeth Scanning
Digital scanning improves your experience in the chair and helps support more predictable treatment planning.
- Eliminates Putty Impressions: Traditional impressions can be among the most uncomfortable parts of orthodontic care. iTero scanning removes the goop, the mess, and the lingering taste from putty impressions.
- Superior Accuracy: Digital scans are highly precise and avoid the distortion that can happen with traditional impressions during setting, removal, or disinfection.
- Onscreen Visualization: Real-time viewing lets us see the scan as it is captured and make adjustments immediately, helping us get the best scan the first time.
- Single-Use Imaging Shield: iTero scanning uses a single-use imaging shield to maintain cleanliness and ensure a comfortable, hygienic process.
See Your Smile Before You Begin
One of the most exciting features of iTero technology is the ability to preview your potential smile. Using advanced software, we can simulate how your teeth may look after orthodontic treatment.
This helps you better understand your treatment plan and feel confident about your decision.
iTero and Clear Aligners
The iTero scanner is especially beneficial for patients considering clear aligners. Because the digital scans are extremely precise, they help create aligners that fit comfortably and move teeth efficiently.
If you are exploring Invisalign or other clear aligner options, iTero technology supports a smoother and more predictable treatment process.
