Discover the benefits of the Invisalign Itero in London
A considerable improvement over putty impressions, Invisalign Itero provides increased accuracy for better-fitting Invisalign aligners and other restorations. Intraoral scans made by Invisalign Itero in London are less likely to be rejected since they are made of a combination of high-quality pictures, eliminating the need for messy powder or gag-inducing PVS impression material.

Digital scans produced by Invisalign Itero are sent directly to the Invisalign lab, therefore improving communication between the dentist and the patient and enabling quicker, accurate and more effective digital workflows.
Advantages of Invisalign Itero technology
Some of the benefits of Invisalign Itero in London include:
- Accuracy
- Comfort
- Efficiency
- Innovation
- Visualisation.
The innovative 3D technology of the Invisalign Itero intraoral scanner ensures that all the contours of the teeth and hard-to-reach areas in the mouth are captured in detail. Moreover, Invisalign Itero technology is less invasive. Patients do not need to undergo preparation for putty impressions, which can be messy, unpredictable and uncomfortable. In addition, Invisalign Itero technology provides a preview of the treatment during every stage.
How does the Invisalign Itero scanner work?
The Invisalign Itero scanner is a large unit that consists of a mobile cart and a lightweight hand-held scanner. The unit has a dedicated wireless router that facilitates the transmission, storage and processing of information from the scanner to the unit. The mobile scanner is used to photograph the patient’s mouth and collect all the data necessary for the treatment preview to be complete.
Optimised and accurate results
Accuracy is an essential component of Invisalign Itero and the reason it was developed in the first place. Traditional impression materials such as plaster make it difficult for dentists to produce accurate impressions due to their unique properties (i.e. sensitivity to temperature, varying shrinkage etc). Itero technology eliminates these issues and helps optimise the final result by combining hundreds of high-quality pictures of the mouth into a single, detailed, 3D scan. Studies have shown that the need for retakes is drastically eliminated with Invisalign Itero, since better images are produced.
