iTero

Our office uses the most state-of-the-art technology available to help create the smile you want, which is why we use the iTero® digital impression system, by Align Technology. Our digital impression system replaces the traditional putty impressions.

Using a digital scanner, we will take three-dimensional (3-D) digital images, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. These impressions will help us formulate a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific orthodontic needs and desires. We can also use them to virtually show you your treatment options and help us keep you up-to-date on your treatment progress.

After your specific treatment plan has been chosen, the digital impressions allow us to create custom aligners, for Invisalign, or custom bracket trays, for lingual braces, with increased efficiency and overall effectiveness.

Some benefits of iTero digital impressions over traditional putty impressions include:

• Accuracy: They capture the exact contours of your teeth.
• Efficiency: They require less time in the treatment chair.
• Comfort: Taking the digital images is less invasive.
