iTero™ Digital Impressions: Speed, Accuracy & Comfort

At Young Orthodontics, we are thrilled to introduce iTero Digital Impressions to improve your orthodontic experience. No more uncomfortable putty impressions! The iTero system transforms how we capture dental impressions, making the process quicker and more comfortable.

Why Choose iTero?

For patients who are eligible for Invisalign® aligners, accurate impressions are vital for effective treatment planning. The clarity and precision offered by the iTero scan can be likened to the difference between a modern smartphone camera and an outdated, grainy photo.

How iTero Works

The iTero handheld wand takes digital, 3D images of your teeth with ease. Here’s how it works:
  • Non-invasive: You can breathe and swallow comfortably during the procedure.
  • Real-time visualization: Watch the 3D image appear on the screen as the wand captures your dental structure.
  • Speedy results: Instead of sending traditional impressions to a lab, your digital images are electronically submitted, making them available in the Invisalign Clincheck system by the next day.
This advanced 3D model is not only used for treatment planning but also for tools like the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, which previews your potential new smile post-treatment.

Benefits of iTero Scanning

  • No More Putty Impressions: Eliminate the discomfort and unpleasant taste associated with traditional impressions.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Enjoy highly accurate scans without distortion caused by movement during the process.
  • Immediate Feedback: The onscreen visualization allows for instant adjustments, ensuring an ideal orthodontic scan.
  • Single-Use Imaging Shield: Our system promotes maximum cleanliness for your safety and comfort.
