Is Invisalign Itero in London more effective than regular impressions?

Dr Graham Tinkler, a leading Invisalign provider in London, can help you determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
Dr Tinkler offers Invisalign Itero in London, an innovative way to take tooth impressions quickly, swiftly, and effectively without the need to employ messy putty impressions. The use of Invisalign Itero by many dentists around the world has convinced many people that it is the best way to create very precise aligners for each stage of the treatment.
Conventional impressions
Before the introduction of digital scanning with Invisalign Itero, Invisalign treatment involved taking traditional impressions. The dentist would fill a tray with a stick, gooey material and would make the patients bite hard into it, so that accurate impressions of the teeth would be made. Traditional impressions are very cheap but they are quite problematic because they can cause breathing problems and gag reflexes to the patients, not to mention that they are not always accurate. Non-accurate impressions can delay the Invisalign progress by a long way.
Itero impressions
Invisalign Itero in London offers an overall better experience for patients who are undergoing Invisalign treatment.

The dentist will take a quick scan of your teeth that will produce hundreds of high-quality images of your mouth, which will then be used for creating for aligners and for predicting your treatment to the end.
