Digital Imaging for Dentistry

The iTero intraoral scanner is an advanced device used by dentists to capture detailed 3D images of the teeth, mouth, and jaw. iTero scanners are commonly utilized as part of treatment planning for restorative and orthodontic procedures, including Invisalign treatments.

iTero Digital Scanning

iTero scans provide a non-invasive imaging solution that does not use radiation. During the process, a wand is gently moved over the teeth, allowing the scanner to quickly collect images and capture all necessary data in just a few minutes. The collected images are then compiled into a complete 3D model, which can be viewed on a computer screen.

Intraoral Camera

The intraoral camera is an oral imaging technology that allows us to create3D renderings of the inside of the mouth. The camera is a small wand with disposable attachments that is moved around inside your mouth. The camera takes hundreds of images and uses software to piece them together, creating a detailed map of your mouth. It allows us to observe and note details such as areas of plaque buildup, damage and wear to the teeth and soft tissues, and cavities. We use the intraoral camera in our dental practice to provide patients with detailed diagnoses and treatment plans. We can also show you the images and provide you with a complete picture of your oral health.

iTero Scans vs. Traditional Modelling

iTero scans often replace more invasive techniques for 3D modeling of the teeth and mouth, improving patient experiences and making the process more comfortable and straightforward for both dentists and patients.

The iTero scanner measures and maps the mouth in detail and full color, allowing dentists to see the exact positions and shapes of the teeth and gums. This enables dentists to create comprehensive treatment plans. Additionally, dental appliances can be constructed directly from the scan data.

The wand in the iTero system is also much smaller than traditional intraoral scanners, making it easier for dentists to take accurate scans of the molars.
