Every orthodontic patient is eager to see their new smile, and modern technology makes it faster than ever! Our team is proud to kickstart every patient's treatment with specialized iTero technology at our Verrado/Buckeye and Litchfield Park locations. Olson Orthodontics always aims to deliver the most innovative treatment, allowing you to correct orthodontic issues quickly and achieve your dream smile as soon as possible. Whether you're getting Invisalign or braces, iTero technology helps us craft more effective orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages and makes adjustments more accurate for quicker results.
What is iTero?
iTero is an intraoral scanner that uses 3D imaging to take photos of the inside of patients' mouths. Compared to traditional X-rays, iTero images are less uncomfortable for the patient and provide more detailed imagery for the orthodontist to build custom treatment plans.
Instead of holding a bulky mouthpiece to get photos of your teeth and jaw, you must sit back and open your mouth as the orthodontist passes a special wand over them.
The iTero scanner uses a painless laser to take detailed digital impressions of your teeth and jaw. We can then use these images to create Invisalign molds or determine the optimal placement for braces.
Benefits of Advanced Orthodontic Technology in Litchfield Park
By using the 3D dental scanner, we can help our patients achieve their goals faster and with less pain. More precise impressions lead to better treatment accuracy, reducing discomfort and improving outcomes.
We also use the iTero scanner in Verrado/Buckeye, ensuring patients get the best care no matter where they live. Both of our practices are proud to implement this modern form of technology to help our patients achieve their dream smiles faster than ever.
Do I Need Fewer Adjustments With iTero?
Possibly! Using a 3D dental scanner allows your orthodontist to craft more accurate molds for your teeth and place braces with greater precision. As a result, you may require fewer adjustments throughout treatment. This spares you discomfort and frees up time and money spent on frequent visits.
Does iTero Deliver Better Results?
Yes, patients whose orthodontic treatment is based on advanced 3D imaging tend to have more accurate treatment, which improves their results. With the help of the iTero scanner, we can fine-tune every patient's orthodontic treatment to their unique needs and more easily target specific challenges, such as overbites, underbites, and misaligned teeth.
Do I Need to Prepare for the Scan?
Feel free to arrive for your appointment as you typically would. It is best to brush your teeth before visiting us so we can ensure we get the best images possible. Just sit back, relax, and let the iTero scanner capture your digital impressions! You won't feel anything, and the entire process only takes a few minutes to complete, but it can lead to a lifetime of beautiful smiles.
