iTero™ Digital Impressions

iTero digital scanning is a fast, comfortable, and highly accurate way to capture 3D images of your teeth. At Embrace Orthodontics, Dr. Dima Kalakech uses iTero technology to eliminate traditional impressions and improve your overall treatment experience.

This advanced system allows for precise treatment planning, especially for Invisalign and clear aligner patients.

What Is iTero Digital Scanning?

iTero is a digital impression system that uses a small handheld wand to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional impressions, there is no messy putty or discomfort.

The scan is completed in minutes and provides highly accurate images that help guide orthodontic treatment.

How Does iTero Scanning Work?

During your scan:

• A handheld wand is used to capture images of your teeth
• The process is non-invasive and comfortable
• You can breathe, swallow, and pause if needed
• Images appear instantly on a screen in real time

The result is a precise digital model that can be used immediately for diagnosis and treatment planning.

What Are the Benefits of iTero Scanning?

iTero offers several advantages over traditional impressions:

• No messy or uncomfortable impression material
• Faster and more efficient process
• Highly accurate digital models
• Reduced need for retakes
• Improved treatment planning and results

This technology enhances both comfort and precision throughout your orthodontic care.

How Is iTero Used for Invisalign Treatment?

For Invisalign patients, accuracy is essential. iTero scans are used to:

• Create custom aligners based on your exact tooth structure
• Send digital models directly to the lab without delays
• Preview your expected results using simulation technology

This allows for a more efficient and predictable Invisalign experience.

Can I See My Results Before Treatment Starts?

Yes. With iTero technology, you may be able to view a simulation of your future smile before starting treatment. This helps you better understand the expected results and feel confident in your decision.
