Before iTero scanners, a mould of your teeth would be taken using a tray and impression material. With traditional methods, the tray is inserted into your mouth, as you bite down into the impression material, it creates a mould of your teeth. This method is still commonly used, but iTero scanners have digitised this process for invisible braces. iTero scanners are available in many Total Orthodontics practices around the UK. How do iTero scanners work? Your orthodontist will use the iTero wand to capture images of your teeth and gums. The wand can capture a staggering 6,000 frames per second! The wand is minimally invasive and allows you to breathe comfortably during the process. You can then watch the creation of your scan on the screen in front of you. When complete, you will see a detailed 3D model on the screen. Your orthodontist will use this to tailor your braces to suit your individual needs. What are the benefits of iTero scanners? 3D simulation: Your detailed 3D scan can be used in conjunction with a simulator to show what your new smile could look like during, and at the end of your treatment. Fast: You can view your 3D model on screen with your orthodontist, as it’s created in real time. iTero scans can also facilitate faster delivery times of your Invisalign treatment plan. Comfortable: No messy impression material is needed. There’s no unpleasant taste or smell and you can breathe as normal. Accuracy: A detailed and precise 3D model of your teeth and gums is created. This can replace the more manual method of taking impressions.
