No more goop, gagging or discomfort! Surrideo Orthodontics is proud to offer our patients the iTero digital scanner. Using the iTero scanner we can take a digital impression and eliminate, in most cases, the need for tray and putty impressions.
While the old technique can be unpleasant and sometimes has to be done more than once for accuracy, we find that the iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable experience. Digital impressions also give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.
The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using optical technology. The scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. Once we being the scanning process, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary.
Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser and in as little as eight to ten minutes, the laser renders a 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Through digital software, you'll then be able to follow the progress of the scans, including a 3D model of your teeth on our computer screen. The iTero scanner can be used for most orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign.
Surrideo Orthodontics is excited to be acquiring yet another scanner called the Lythos Digital Scanner. Watch for more information on the Lythos Scanner coming soon!
