Say goodbye to the mess with Invisalign Itero in London
For the sake of our own health, sometimes it’s necessary to go through unpleasant experiences to let the medical professionals do their job. Anyone who’s had a prostate examination, or a smear test can testify to this. We don’t like it, but we know it’s needed, so we bear it.
The same could be said for dental impressions. This is when the dentist fills the patient’s mouth with a gloopy putty, to get an indentation of their teeth. It doesn’t taste or smell great, there’s a risk some of it might be swallowed and it can cause the patient to gag. There’s also a chance the impressions won’t come out right and the whole thing has to be gone through again.
Here at Graham Tinkler, we’ve found a way to put all that behind us. We use the Invisalign Itero in London to take digital impressions of patients’ teeth, meaning there’s no need for putty.
What is Invisalign Itero in London?
The Itero was developed to take the pinpoint accurate measurements needed to create Invisalign clear braces. It records a 3D image of your teeth and gums, which is then fed into a software programme. This programme uses the information to create a digital treatment plan that has two uses: it provides the Invisalign technicians in the US with the detailed measurements they need to create the pairs of aligners. It also shows a simulation of how your smile will look by the end of the procedure. How’s that for motivation to stick to your treatment plan?
In London, Invisalign Itero is simple and easy to use:
- it’s a very quick process and only takes a few minutes to complete
- you don’t have to stay stock still while the scan is taking place, you can sneeze, move or ask to take a break at any point
- you breathe and swallow as normal.
