How the iTero works

The iTero Intraoral Digital Scanner is radiation free and enables us to take a precise 3D digital scan of the your teeth and bite, make adjustments in real time, and transmit the file wirelessly for processing.

Standard protocol is to create a study model at the start & finish of your orthodontic treatment.

The iTero software collects the images and seamlessly pieces them together. Using the images, a digital map of your entire oral anatomy is created, including the teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding soft tissues. Your personalized digital map is used to plan your custom orthodontic treatment plan ranging from braces to Invisalign.
