iTero Scanner Calabasas CA
Compared to the old way of taking multiple impressions that could be broken, misplaced, or rejected, the iTero scanner is able to capture the contours of your teeth and gingival structures instantly in 3D, and produce a very accurate digital representation of your teeth, which is critical for proper orthodontic movement and treatment planning.
The growing popularity of iTero scanners in orthodontics is due to:
- Improved success rate - significantly lower risk of fit issues with orthodontic appliances compared to traditional impressions
- Accuracy - no risk of image distortion in case the patient moves during the set, which increases the chances of a precise fit of your Invisalign aligners and retainers
- Safety - it uses a laser to produce the images, which means that you are not exposed to any radiation. Additionally, the single use Imaging Shield promotes optimal cleanliness and disease prevention.
- Enhanced patient comfort - they eliminate the unpleasantness that is characteristic of gag-based traditional impressions
- Fast - you can view 3D scans of your mouth onscreen instantaneously and receive the results of your individualized Invisalign treatment plan much faster.
