The iTero® system enhances the accuracy of treatment planning for various dental procedures, including the creating of Invisalign® aligners, crowns, bridges, and other restorative and orthodontic interventions. With its streamlined and patient-friendly approach, iTero® revolutionizes the impression process, improving treatment outcomes and creating a more comfortable experience for individuals seeking dental care.

The Benefits of iTero®️ Digital Impression System

Comfortable Experience

The iTero® system in Rockville, MD, offers a comfortable alternative to traditional impressions, sparing patients from the discomfort of gooey molds. The handheld wand is noninvasive and gentle, creating a more pleasant experience for individuals undergoing dental procedures.

Elimination of Gag Reflex

Many patients find that traditional impressions trigger their gag reflex, making the process uncomfortable and challenging. The iTero® system's digital approach eliminates the need for physical molds, alleviating the potential for gag reflex-related discomfort.

Improved Accuracy

The high-resolution 3D digital impressions generated by iTero® boast unparalleled accuracy. This precision is crucial in orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and other dental procedures where the slightest discrepancy can impact treatment outcomes.

Efficiency and Time Savings

The real-time visualization and immediate feedback offered by the iTero® system contribute to increased efficiency in the dental office. Eliminating the need for physical molds streamlines the process, reducing chair time and expediting treatment planning.

Enhanced Patient Engagement

The visual aspect of iTero® empowers patients to participate actively in their treatment journey. Orthodontists can share digital impressions with patients, helping them better understand their oral anatomy and the proposed treatment plan. This enhanced engagement fosters a collaborative approach to dental care.

How Does itero®️ Digital Impression System Work?

The iTero® Digital Impression System employs a handheld wand with a sophisticated scanner to capture high-resolution 3D digital impressions of a patient's teeth and gums. As the wand is gently moved throughout the mouth by our orthodontist in Gaithersburg, MD, it captures thousands of images per second, creating a real-time digital model. This dynamic process allows for immediate visualization and adjustments, ensuring the accurate representation of the oral structure.

By eliminating the need for traditional molds, the iTero® system provides a comfortable and efficient alternative, particularly beneficial in orthodontics for treatments like Invisalign®. The resulting digital impressions enhance precision, streamline treatment planning, and contribute to an overall improved dental experience for both practitioners and patients.
