Benefits of the iTero Element Scanner

When it comes to any type of oral procedure, whether you are getting dental implants, a bridge, crowns or preparing for your Invisalign® fitting, you want to know that you can trust the treatment. You want to be sure that your treatment will be carried out with accuracy in order to ensure that you have a positive experience. This is your mouth and your teeth. Your pearly whites matter to you. Not only do you want to hold on to your smile for a long time, but you also want to know that your teeth look their best. The iTero® Element™ Scanner can help our orthodontist to treat your dental issues with precision, passing on the benefits of more effective treatment to you.

What’s the Story Behind the iTero® Element™ Scanner?

The iTero® Element™ Scanner allows our orthodontist to get an in-depth look inside your mouth by creating 3D images of your teeth through the use of a digital scanner. A special device is used to scan your teeth. The results are immediately available on the scanner’s monitor, creating an accurate picture of exactly what is going on inside your mouth. The image can be sent digitally to the computer and shared with other providers in order to move forward with your treatment. You don’t need to be subjected to radiation from X-rays. The scan only takes a brief period of time and the results allow our orthodontist to quickly move forward with a plan of action for you.

What Does the iTero® Element™ Scanner Offer You?

In less than ten minutes, your scan will be complete, sparing you the need for gooey impressions of your mouth to make a mold that is no longer necessary. The wand that is used to scan your mouth is 40% smaller than what was used in the past, ensuring that you will be more comfortable. You won’t have to endure cold air blowing on your sensitive teeth either. Thanks to 3D high impact visualization and 6,000 pictures per second, your digital scan will mean seven times fewer fit issues and ten times fewer treatment injections. Regardless of what type of treatment you need, this scanner will make your life easier as it takes less of your time to help you to move forward to enhance your smile.
