How the iTero Scanner Helps You Achieve Your Best Smile
At Hatcher & Frey, we pride ourselves on using the latest in orthodontic technology to provide our patients with the best care possible. One of the key tools that has revolutionized our approach to care is the iTero digital scanner. This advanced technology enables us to create highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, so we can tailor your treatment plan for optimal results. Here’s how it works:
What is the iTero Scanner?
The iTero digital scanner is an innovative imaging device that helps our orthodontic specialists capture precise, real-time 3D models of your teeth and gums. Using a small, handheld wand, the scanner glides comfortably over the mouth, mapping every detail. Unlike traditional dental impressions that can be uncomfortable and time-consuming, the iTero scanner offers a much more efficient and pleasant experience. In just a few minutes, it creates an accurate and detailed digital model of your mouth without the need for messy impressions.
This technology provides a more complete and precise view of your dental structure, which enables our team at Hatcher & Frey to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs from the start.
How Does the iTero Scanner Enhance Your Treatment?
Once our team completes the scan, the results are immediately displayed on a screen, revealing a detailed 3D image of your teeth. This real-time view allows our experts to make any necessary adjustments on the spot to guarantee that we’re on the right track to create your perfect smile. Unlike traditional methods that rely on uncomfortable, goopy impressions, the iTero scanner provides a mess-free, comfortable experience that’s much more efficient. Whether your treatment involves Invisalign or traditional braces, the iTero scanner helps us create a plan that is unique to your needs.
One of the standout features of the iTero scanner is its ability to capture a comprehensive view of your teeth from every angle. Traditional dental impressions provide only a single snapshot, whereas the iTero scanner creates a complete, dynamic 3D model. This gives us the ability to account for every detail, reducing the risk of errors and allowing for a more accurate treatment plan.
Tracking Your Progress with Precision
The iTero scanner isn’t just a tool for initial scans; it can be used throughout your treatment process. As your smile transforms, we can use the scanner to track the movement of your teeth and monitor your progress in real time. This continuous monitoring allows our team at Hatcher & Frey to adjust your treatment as needed, to make sure you stay on track toward your orthodontic goals.
By using the iTero scanner to track your progress, we can potentially shorten your treatment time, saving you both time and money in the long run.
