iTero Digital Impressions
Fast, Accurate, and Comfortable Orthodontic Scans
At Nudera Orthodontics Group, we use advanced iTero digital scanning technology to make your orthodontic experience faster, more precise, and more comfortable. Traditional putty impressions are no longer necessary. Our digital system creates highly accurate 3D images of your teeth in just minutes.
What Is iTero Digital Scanning?
iTero is a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner that captures detailed, high-resolution 3D images of your teeth and gums. This technology is especially important for treatments like Invisalign, where precision plays a key role in achieving the best results.
Compared to traditional impressions, iTero scanning offers significantly greater accuracy. It is similar to the difference between a modern smartphone camera and an outdated, low-resolution image.
How Does iTero Work?
The iTero scanner uses a small, handheld wand to gently capture a digital model of your teeth. The process is quick, non-invasive, and designed with patient comfort in mind.
During your scan:
- You can breathe, swallow, and move comfortably
- The scanner pauses and resumes easily if needed
- Images are captured in real time with high precision
- You can see a 3D model of your smile instantly on screen
Once complete, your digital scan is sent electronically to the lab. This allows for faster processing and more efficient treatment planning.
Why Is iTero Important for Invisalign?
For Invisalign treatment, accuracy is essential. iTero scans integrate directly with Invisalign’s digital planning system, allowing us to create a fully customized treatment plan.
This includes:
- Precise aligner fabrication
- Faster turnaround times
- A digital preview of your future smile using simulation technology
You can even see how your smile may look after treatment before you begin.
