Experience the Future of Orthodontics with iTeroâ„¢ Digital Impressions
At Lewisburg Orthodontic Associates, we use iTeroâ„¢ Digital Impressions, which offer our patients a more comfortable and accurate experience. Gone are the days of traditional putty impressions; we are proud to provide a modern solution with the iTero Digital system.
For patients receiving Invisalign aligners, obtaining precise impressions is essential for effective treatment planning. The level of precision and detail that the iTero scan delivers is unmatched, providing clarity similar to the difference between watching HDTV and standard definition TV.
How iTero Works
The iTero handheld wand captures a digital, 3D image of your teeth, providing a precise scan without the need for traditional impression putty. The process is non-invasive, allowing you to breathe and swallow freely during the procedure. You have the flexibility to move or adjust at any time, and the wand’s accuracy ensures exceptional results. It is rare to need to redo impressions, and you can view the 3D scan on the screen in real-time as the orthodontist moves the wand.
Instead of sending physical impressions to the lab, the digital scan is transmitted electronically. This allows the lab to receive it and create your personalized treatment plan the very next day. This advanced technology is compatible with all Invisalign services, including the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, which allows you to see what your smile will look like after treatment.
