Innovation

Our digital platform of integrated technologies, software, and services has helped improve orthodontic treatment for millions by delivering seamless workflows in dental practices, on mobile devices, and through remote monitoring, and is designed to help doctors and patients realize the benefits of seamless end-to-end digital workflows that improve practice efficiencies and patient experiences. We are especially excited about the potential for the following innovations:

• The iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner with orthodontic and restorative capabilities (without iTero NIRI technology) and the iTero Lumina™ Pro dental imaging system (with iTero NIRI technology). Powered by iTero Multi-Direct Capture™ technology with a 3x larger field of view and a maximum capture distance of 25 mm, designed to scan 2x faster. iTero Lumina creates a new standard in digital scanning that achieves exceptional clinical outcomes; increases practice efficiency with an effortless, faster scanning experience; and delivers an elevated, more comfortable experience for clinicians and patients. iTero Lumina also enables efficient restorative and multidisciplinary ortho-restorative workflows (including Near Infra-Red Imaging (NIRI) technology in the iTero Lumina Pro dental imaging system) and supports diagnostic of interproximal caries above the gingiva, helping GP dentists reach new levels of practice efficiency and growth while delivering exceptional clinical outcomes.
