Discover the benefits of Invisalign Itero in London
Until recently, achieving highly accurate impressions for optimising the benefits of Invisalign aligners has been problematic. Various impression materials have their disadvantages, and inconsistent impressions have often led to additional appointments and adjustments. Digital scanning technology now replaces conventional putty impressions in dentistry. Invisalign aligners can now be created with digital data derived from the Itero scanner, improving accuracy, patient communication and reducing aligner delivery time.
Dr Graham Tinkler has introduced Invisalign Itero in London in order to make the patient experience smoother and more comfortable. The Itero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in an improved treatment and a more pleasant patient experience. Digital impressions also give you the ability to see your teeth in 3D, improving communication with your dentist during the consultation and treatment process.
How does it work?
The first step is to visit Dr Tinkler to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. Using the portable Itero scanning system by Align Technology, Dr Tinker will take three-dimensional digital images, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. This digital impression system replaces the uncomfortable, unpleasant-tasting, messy and sometimes inaccurate putty impressions. These impressions will enable us to develop a personalised treatment plan that best meets your individual dental needs. Invisalign Itero in London can also be used to show you how your teeth may look once your Invisalign treatment is finished.
After we take the digital impressions of your teeth, we will send them to the Invisalign laboratories. Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to transform these instructions in a series of aligners. Patients are required to wear each aligner for 7—10 days and only take them out to eat, brush and floss their teeth. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually until they have reached their final position.
