Say goodbye to messy impressions with Invisalign Itero in London
Digital scanning for treatment is an important advance in teeth straightening technology. Before digital scanning, Invisalign treatment involved taking a set of gloppy, goopy impressions. Dentists would fill trays with sticky, gooey material, patients would open their mouth wide, and the dentist would stretch their mouth to fit the tray. The tray would be pressed against your teeth, and you would have cold, wet ooze all over your mouth. Luckily, you will never need to go through the same process again, thanks to Invisalign Itero.
The Itero scanner is an innovative digital impression system that eliminates the need for unpleasant traditional impressions. Dr Graham Tinkler will use Invisalign Itero in London, to digitally capture a detailed, 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is the Itero scanner far more comfortable than the old putty-based impressions, but it is considerably faster and provides very accurate images.
The benefits of digital scanning
When you start treatment for Invisalign with Dr Graham Tinkler, you will lie back in one of our comfy dental chairs, and we will take a quick digital video scan of your teeth by using the small Itero wand to wave over the surface of your teeth and gums. The most important part of this process is that you get to see the digital model of your teeth created right in front of you. This would not have been possible with traditional impressions.
The Itero scanning process is very brief and comfortable. The wand is designed to fit in your mouth without causing you to gag. Dr Graham Tinkler will make your scan a quick, easy and overall exciting procedure.
Practical considerations aside, the Itero scanner also has proven clinical benefits. It helps us deliver an even better treatment outcome because of the level of accuracy and detail we can capture with a digital scan versus a conventional impression. This allows Dr Tinkler to design your treatment plan with attention to every small detail.
