No More Messy Molds – iTero™ Digital Impressions
Banasiak & Nettune is pleased to provide their patients with iTero™ Digital Impressions in Basking Ridge and Mendham, NJ. With iTero™ Digital technology, unpleasant putty impressions are no longer needed. Our orthodontist can create impressions of your teeth without mess and with more accuracy.
Get Accurate Orthodontic Molds Without Discomfort
An accurate impression is necessary for efficient treatment planning and orthodontic care for individuals suitable for Invisalign® aligners. The iTero™ Digital Impressions technology helps achieve this accuracy. It is a scanner that creates orthodontic 3D images in minutes by capturing the outlines of the tooth and gingival tissues.
This non-invasive method is perfect for individuals receiving treatment with Invisalign® and clear aligners. No disagreeable putty substance is typically used to obtain imprints.
How Does an iTero™ Scanner Work?
The iTero™ portable wand scans your teeth and creates a 3D digital image. Because the wand is noninvasive, you can breathe and swallow as needed throughout the process. The handheld wand’s accuracy is excellent, so you may move or modify it as needed. Additionally, you can view the iTero™ 3D image on a digital screen in real-time as our orthodontist moves the wand.
The digital image of your teeth is delivered electronically to the lab. Instead of sending impressions to be scanned, it is accessible in the Invisalign® Clincheck system the following day. This 3D mouth model can be utilized with all Invisalign® services, including the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator, which visualizes how your new smile can seem following treatment.
Benefits of iTero™ Digital Impressions
Several benefits of iTero™ Digital Impressions include:
- Less Mess – With 3D impression technology, there will be no need for putty, a gooey orthodontic material that is commonly used for impressions. Patients no longer have to endure putty’s messy feel.
- Excellent Accuracy – The digital scanner can capture an accurate 3D image of your teeth without distortion. This is something that can’t be achieved from putty impressions.
- Onscreen Visibility – To create the perfect orthodontic scan the first time, onscreen visualization enables instantaneous correction. As the orthodontist examines your mouth in real-time, the iTero™ image shows on the screen.
- Single-Use Imaging Shield – This ensures optimum cleanliness during the process.
