How a simple dental scan can upgrade your treatment
Believe it or not, a small scanning device can radically change your dental care and treatment with Invisalign. A few years back, dentists relied on putty impressions to create Invisalign aligners, but this has changed with Itero technology.
The Itero scanner is a powerful digital tool that allows dentists to see everything that is going on in your mouth. Invisalign Itero in London is used by Dr Graham Tinkler instead of traditional impressions. With this scanning device, we are able to achieve exact measurements of your teeth and bite and able to create detailed and customised aligners with the smallest error margin possible. Invisalign Itero in London has changed the way dentists use Invisalign.
What is so distinctive about Itero?
Invisalign Itero has many benefits and most of them are directly related to its technological innovation. Unlike regular digital pictures, the pictures produced by the Itero scanner are 3D models with added algorithms to improve accuracy and precision. Using the 3D images of your teeth, Dr Tinker can model the aligners and predict how your teeth will move over time as forces are applied to them. This procedure enables us to create more effective Invisalign aligners.
Invisalign Itero in London, is also quick and convenient. You will no longer have to undergo a traditional putty impression procedure, which can be quite distressing and not as accurate. Dr Tinkler will use the microscopic wand of the scanner to map your teeth and look at the results in real time. This way, if an error has occurred in the mapping process, he can fix it immediately.

More and more dentists, are using the Itero scanning technology in the diagnosis process. Itero technology allows better braces, retainers, aligners and other restorations.
