What is iTero?

An iTero scanner is a high-tech dental tool that takes detailed 3D pictures of your teeth and gums without using messy, uncomfortable moulds. It is like a special camera that your dentist moves around in your mouth to create a digital model of your smile. This technology is particularly useful for Invisalign patients because:

1. It creates precise images of your teeth in just minutes

2. You can see a preview of how your smile might look after Invisalign treatment

3. It helps your dentist plan your Invisalign treatment more accurately

4. The process is quick, comfortable, and doesn’t involve any unpleasant-tasting materials

With iTero, getting started with Invisalign is easier and more comfortable.
