What is the iTero Digital Impression System?

Our digital impression system, iTero®, replaces the uncomfortable, unpleasant-tasting, messy and sometimes inaccurate traditional putty impressions. No bulky trays or sticky putty needed!

We use the iTero scanner to take accurate digital impressions of your teeth. It captures more accurate snapshots of your teeth and gums at 6000 frames per second and gives us a 3D visualization of your teeth and bite. The iTero allows us to make super precise study models, aligners, and appliances, faster and without goopy impressions! The digital impressions will give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D! 

Some benefits of iTero digital impressions over traditional putty impressions include:

  • Accuracy: They capture the exact contours of your teeth.
  • Efficiency: They require less time in the treatment chair.
  • Comfort: Taking the digital images is less invasive. No putty is used, and patients are more at ease without fearing they will gag on the impression putty.
  • Customization: They provide a digital plan and allow for trays that are tailored to meet the individual needs and desires of each patient.
  • Visualization: They provide each patient with a definite picture of what their teeth will look like before, during and after orthodontic treatment.
  • Innovation: They use the most advanced 3-D video technologies.
