In the ever-advancing field of orthodontics, staying at the forefront of technology is essential for providing the best care to your patients.
Today, when you chat with colleagues, the conversation rarely starts with IF you are using digital impressions but rather WHICH BRAND/MODEL did you choose and why?
One of these leading brands is iTero®, most famously known for its exclusive integration with a certain, super well-known brand of clear aligners.
Orthodontists quickly became early adopters of iTero intraoral scanning technology as an alternative to traditional impressioning. Because iTero is manufactured by the same company as Invisalign®, dentists and orthodontists working with the popular clear aligner brand saw the benefit of switching to intraoral scanning to improve their Invisalign workflow.
Today, we’ll explore why iTero scanners have become a game-changer for orthodontists and how integrating this technology can transform your practice.
Understanding iTero Scanners
The dental scanners produced by iTero are advanced intraoral scanning devices that capture highly detailed, digital impressions of a patient’s oral structures. Unlike traditional physical impressions that involve molds and trays, iTero scanners offer a more comfortable and efficient alternative. Here’s why they are pivotal for orthodontists:
- Precision in Treatment Planning: iTero intraoral scanners provide incredibly accurate digital impressions, offering a clear and detailed view of the patient’s dentition. This precision is crucial for orthodontic treatment planning, including the placement of braces, aligners, and other appliances.
- Enhanced Patient Experience:The digital scanning process is far more comfortable and less invasive than traditional impressions. This improves the patient experience and can reduce anxiety in younger patients.
- Efficient Workflow: iTero scanners streamline your practice’s workflow. The digital impressions are immediately available for analysis, reducing wait times and allowing for more efficient chairside discussions with patients. Their scanners are fast, too; an iTero Element scanner can complete a full arch scan in as little as a minute.
- Better Communication: Digital impressions can be easily shared with laboratory technicians, specialists, and colleagues for improved communication and collaboration.
- Customized Treatment: With the precise 3D models generated by iTero scanners, orthodontists can offer highly individualized treatment plans, improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.
- Aligner Therapy: iTero scanners are ideal for orthodontists offering clear aligner therapy. They enable the creation of accurate virtual models that serve as the basis for custom aligner fabrication.
- Monitoring Progress: Orthodontists can use iTero scans to monitor the progress of treatment, ensuring that patients are on track and making any necessary adjustments.
