Giving BackiTero Scanner
Comfort, precision, and convenience are essential parts of the modern patient experience. That’s why Dr. Peter A. Tzendzalian (Dr. T) and the team at Aesthetic Oral Health in Durham, NC, rely on the iTero intraoral scanner for accurate, comfortable, and efficient digital impressions.
This innovative technology makes orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, simpler and more precise while improving overall patient satisfaction. We aim to help patients better understand their oral health and treatment progress.
What is an iTero Scanner?
The iTero intraoral scanner is designed to make dental visits more comfortable and precise by replacing traditional impression methods. Instead of trays filled with sticky material, the scanner uses a small wand that is gently moved around your mouth to capture detailed images. These digital scans are taken quickly and comfortably, without triggering a gag reflex, making the scanning process much easier for patients of all ages.
As the wand collects data, the system builds a high-resolution, three-dimensional model of your teeth in real time. This allows Dr. T to see every angle of your smile instantly on the chairside screen. Patients can even watch as the scan develops, offering a unique opportunity to understand their oral health and treatment options more clearly.
The accuracy of iTero scans ensures that every detail of your bite is captured. These scans are then used to create a personalized treatment plan, whether you’re beginning Invisalign, planning for restorative dentistry, or monitoring progress with the progress assessment tool. By combining advanced intraoral digital scanners with Dr. T’s expertise, this system streamlines the process while improving overall patient satisfaction.
Benefits of the iTero Scanner
With Dr. T’s commitment to using innovative technology, iTero scanners provide clear advantages for both patients and the dental team:
- Accurate digital impressions: High-quality dental images and full arch scans give a precise foundation for treatment planning.
- Comfortable scanning process: No messy materials, less chair time, and no discomfort from traditional impressions.
- Real-time results: See your scan instantly, including a progress assessment tool to track changes over time.
- Supports Invisalign system: As part of orthodontic treatment, these scans integrate seamlessly with the Invisalign system, offering a sneak peek of how your clear aligners will transform your smile.
- Versatility: Beyond Invisalign, the scanner benefits restorative dentistry with precise planning for crowns, bridges, and custom implant abutments.
- Streamlined communication: Digital impressions are easily shared with orthodontic labs for faster and more accurate case collaboration.
iTero scans capture every detail of your teeth and bite with exceptional accuracy, far exceeding traditional impressions. This ensures that your treatment plan is based on reliable data, leading to better-fitting appliances, restorations, or aligners. The precision of digital scans improves the overall process and helps safeguard your long-term oral health.
A Quick and Simple Scanning Process
One of the most significant advantages of using iTero scans in our Durham office is their speed of completion. In most cases, a complete set of digital impressions takes only a few minutes, even when capturing full arch scans. The lightweight, small wand glides comfortably over your teeth, and the results appear in real time on the screen.
This means you’ll spend less time in the chair compared to traditional impressions, which often require multiple trays and repeated attempts. With iTero, the entire scanning process is fast, efficient, and comfortable, helping you move forward with your treatment plan without unnecessary delays.
Invisalign and Digital Scans: The Perfect Match
When it comes to Invisalign treatment, the iTero scanner is unmatched. Digital impressions feed directly into the Invisalign system, helping design clear aligners tailored to your specific needs.
Patients can view a simulation of their future smile during the scanning process, creating excitement and confidence in the treatment plan. The accuracy of iTero scans also ensures aligners fit better, track tooth movement more effectively, and provide a smoother orthodontic treatment experience from start to finish.
