Digital Scanning with iTero®

How iTero Scanning Works

The iTero process is straightforward and designed with patient comfort in mind. If you're curious about how iTero works, here are the typical steps involved during a visit:

1. Preparation: Your teeth are gently dried, and the scanner tip is positioned near your teeth to begin imaging.

2. Capture: The wand moves around your upper and lower teeth to rapidly collect thousands of images.

3. 3D Model: Software stitches the images into a detailed 3D model that can be rotated, enlarged, and assessed.

4. Bite Registration: You'll lightly close your mouth so the scanner can record how your teeth fit together.

5. Review And Planning: The digital file is utilized to plan restorations or orthodontic treatment and to communicate with dental labs.

What to Expect During Your Scan

Appointments are typically brief and comfortable. Here's what patients can expect from start to finish:

• Brief visit time, often 5 minutes or less for a full scan.
• Little to no gagging because the wand is small and tray-free.
• Clear visuals on-screen so you can see areas of wear, chips, or crowding.
• Accurate digital records that make future comparisons simple.
• No special aftercare needed; you can return to normal activities right away.

iTero scanning supports many treatments, including single crowns, multi-unit bridges, implant restorations, night guards, and clear aligner therapy such as Invisalign. The accuracy of iTero scans helps produce well-fitting appliances and restorations while reducing the need for additional impressions.
