iTero Scanner
What is iTero?
The iTero scanner is an advanced digital scanning system used in dentistry to create precise 3D images of a patient's teeth and oral structures. This technology replaces traditional dental impressions, which involved the use of putty-like materials to capture the shape of the teeth. With the iTero scanner, a wand-like device is used to capture digital images of the patient's teeth, gums, and bite in real-time.
What are the benefits of the iTero Digital Scanner
The iTero scanner is particularly valuable for various dental procedures, including the creation of crowns, bridges, and Invisalign clear aligners. The detailed digital impressions generated by the iTero scanner enhance accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort compared to traditional methods. These digital impressions can be sent electronically to dental laboratories for the fabrication of custom restorations, eliminating the need for physical molds and reducing the turnaround time for dental procedures.
