Why do we love the iTero intraoral scanner?

The iTero is an intraoral scanner that helps orthodontists and other dental professionals obtain more accurate 3D images to perform the following procedures:

• Establishing an orthodontic and dental diagnosis and treatment plan
• Making orthodontic appliances
• Prosthetic work
• Different types of dental treatments.

PRECISION

An intra-oral scan, it reproduces the exact shape of teeth and jaws with 6000 3D images/second, recording the smallest microscopic details. It is much more accurate than a traditional dental impression and plaster model which can undergo structural changes.

EASY COMMUNICATION WITH PATIENTS

With the help of these 3D images, your orthodontist/dentist can easily show you, directly on the scan, the details related to the presence of cavities, incorrect tooth position, whether the bite is incorrect or uneven, the presence of tartar, gum status, tooth structure conditions (e.g. tooth wear, chipped teeth) and more.

FAST AND EFFICIENT

Doctors can quickly and easily email these scans to the lab in just minutes, which helps patients start treatment much faster.

'TIME LAPSE' FUNCTION

Allows comparison of recent scans with the history of previous scans to visualise changes in oral cavity structures over time, such as 3D images:

• the appearance or progression of dental wear, dental caries, gum recession
• gingival healing after periodontal and/or orthodontic treatment
• change in tooth position
• if you undergo orthodontic treatment you can visualise the progress of treatment by accurately measuring dental changes.

COMFORTABLE, PAINLESS, NO CHOKING OR GAG REFLEX

Intraoral scanning is comfortable for the patient because - unlike traditional impressions - no impression trays and impression material are used, which can cause vomiting or choking sensations.

'OCCLUSOGRAM' FUNCTION

It shows with great accuracy where there are overly strong dental contacts that could cause trauma to these teeth or cause temporomandibular joint damage, the presence of a symmetrical/asymmetrical bite (occlusion), a possible need for occlusal rebalancing, etc.

SAFE

Intraoral scanning works by emitting a beam of light projected onto the surface of the teeth and capturing the distortions of the beam caused by hitting teeth with high-resolution cameras. The intraoral scanner emits no radiation, or other harmful elements, making it safe for doctors and patients and environmentally friendly.
