Embrace your smile with Invisalign Itero in London
For many patients who have crooked, crowded or gapped teeth, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. However, besides the aesthetics of your smile, misaligned teeth can also create other dental problems, including decay and excessive tooth wear. For this reason, correcting your bite may require more than just straightening crooked teeth, but also rebuilding and fortifying compromised tooth structure.
Graham Tinkler, an experienced Invisalign dentist in London, will examine your teeth thoroughly and determine all the issues that throw your bite off balance. He will then create a personalised treatment plan to successfully address them. For most patients, that means straightening their teeth with Invisalign aligners. With Invisalign Itero in London, Dr Tinkler can perform a comprehensive digital analysis to diagnose every aspect of your crooked and misaligned teeth. Then, he may use Invisalign on its own or combine it with other cosmetic treatments to fully correct bite misalignment.
How Invisalign Itero works
Invisalign Itero is a handheld device that takes a digital 3D image of your teeth. You can watch the whole procedure in real time as Dr Tinkler uses Invisalign Itero in London to take digital impressions of your teeth. The digital images are electronically sent to an Invisalign lab and they can be accessed by your dentist over the next day. These digital scans are very detailed and accurate and they are used to create customised and comfortable Invisalign aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and gums.
Benefits of Invisalign Itero technology
Patients who start their Invisalign treatment with an Itero scan are more likely to have better fitting aligners than patients who have conventional impressions. Generally, Itero scans are up to 10 times more accurately than traditional impressions. This is because there is no distortion of the image from the patient moving during the set or removal of impressions. The Itero scanner captures the exact contours of your teeth and gums, increasing the chances of a precise fit of your Invisalign aligners. Finally, Itero scans are entirely safe because they use a laser to produce the digital images and faster compared to traditional impressions.
