How Invisalign Itero technology has changed dentistry
Invisalign Itero has revolutionised the way dental impressions are taken. Now there is no need for messy moulds. Getting high-quality and accurate impressions has never been easier or more reliable.
Dr Graham Tinkler was one of the first dentists to use Invisalign Itero in London. His patients are impressed with the speed and accuracy of the Itero scanner. Dr Tinkler will simply move the wand around your teeth and gums, and within seconds, you will get a high-quality, accurate, and colour digital impression of your mouth’s interior. It couldn’t be simpler.
The Invisalign process
Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening technique that uses transparent, plastic, removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to move your teeth into their correct position. When you visit Dr Tinkler, he will scan your oral cavity with Invisalign Itero in London in order to take accurate impressions of your teeth.
Your 3D digital impressions are then converted into digital files, which are sent to the Invisalign laboratories. From this, your custom-made aligners are created, allowing your teeth to adjust and be guided into place.
Patients need to wear their aligners for at least 7-10 days before moving to the next one in the series. Treatment time is different for each individual and depends on a number of factors such as the state of their teeth or the complexity of their problem. However, the average treatment time is 12 months.
What are the benefits of Invisalign Itero?
There are many benefits of using 3D dental scanning technology such as Invisalign Itero. Invisalign Itero is quicker, cleaner and more accurate than traditional impressions. This means less time in the dentist’s chair and a more accurate diagnosis and overall treatment. Moreover, scanning can identify issues that could be missed by traditional impression trays, allowing your Dr Tinkler to fix them before they interfere with your Invisalign treatment. Last but not least, Invisalign Itero allows you to see the effects of your treatment before you have it.
