How Does it Work?

iTero Digital Impressions

Adults and Invisalign teens will find this process comfortable and easy because they won’t have to worry about getting the gooey mess all over themselves or gagging from the putty in their mouth used to make the impression. The iTero Digital Scanner eliminates the putty and the trays and uses a camera to take a digital scan of the teeth.

The orthodontist or the dental assistant will take numerous pictures in order to create a complete picture of all the teeth in order to be sent to the company so that they can create a ClinCheck treatment plan for the patient. The process only takes a few short minutes, and the patient gets to view a digital picture of their teeth on the screen. They will also be able to view how their teeth will look after the Invisalign treatment is complete.

The Benefits of Digital Scanning

• No putty or trays are needed to take impressions; therefore, eliminating the mess and hassle of cleaning up.
• The process is simple and quick, which eliminates patient time at the office and allows the patient to have a much more pleasant experience.
• The digital scanner has a lower rejected percentage rate than impressions that use PVS, so redoing impressions are rare.
• Digital images provide more accurate impressions of the patient’s teeth than PVS impressions.
• The final image is sent directly to the company through its website, who create aligners and a treatment plan quicker than before.

iTero – Don’t Deny Yourself a Great Smile!

These are important aspects not only to the doctor but to their patient as well. Nobody should deny themselves a great smile because they are afraid of the mess and gagging that comes with the use of PVS impressions.
