Discover the benefits of Invisalign Itero in London
If you are considering Invisalign, you may already know that your dentist will need an impression of your teeth so that your custom-made aligners can be created. Until recently, this process involved placing a gooey type of material on the teeth for an impression to be made. This process is messy, sticky and can cause gagging, rendering patients unable to complete the procedure or resulting in inaccurate impressions. Fortunately, the introduction of Invisalign Itero has eliminated the need for this procedure.
The Invisalign Itero scanner is a small, portable device that takes numerous, high-quality photographs of your teeth quickly and swiftly. Invisalign Itero even enables patients to view how their teeth will look after the treatment. The process is simple and quick, which eliminates patient time at the dental practice and allows you to have a much more pleasant experience. Dr Graham Tinkler is one of the first dentists to explore the numerous benefits of Invisalign Itero in London.
How does it work?
The ITero scanner is really easy to use. Your dentist will hold the portable, hand-held scanner over your mouth and the interior will be scanned with a radiation-free laser in as little as two minutes. The scanning process will render a digitally accurate 3D image of your teeth and soft tissue structures. This image will be sent to the Invisalign laboratories for the creation of your customised aligners. The Itero scanner is very popular with Invisalign patients, but it can also be used for any dental treatment that requires impressions.
The comfort of technology
The technology of the Itero scanner completely eliminates the need for conventional impressions, where the experience can be quite uncomfortable and unpleasant. More often, conventional impressions often result in taking multiple rounds of impressions that can be rejected or broken. Invisalign Itero in London guarantees a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. High-quality Itero scans also allow patients to see their teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication with the dentist throughout the consultation and the treatment process.
