Impressions before the emergence of Itero
Before digital scanning with Invisalign Itero in London, dentists relied on traditional impressions. In most cases, these impressions were sticky, messy and very uncomfortable. The tray would be pressed against the patient’s teeth and you’d experience a cold sensation. In some cases, these impressions also cause gag reflexes, resulting in choking and coughing. Last but not least, traditional impressions were not practical because they were not always accurate. In some cases, the dentist had to repeat the procedure a few times before they got an accurate impression of the mouth. It is not hard to imagine the anxiety and discomfort that most patients were subjected to with this procedure.
