We are excited to introduce a new orthodontic tool to our office, the iTero® Element™ Scanner! Even under the best conditions, traditional impressions can be uncomfortable, unpleasant tasting, and occasionally unreliable. That’s why we’re proud to be able to offer goop-free, full digital impressions with the revolutionary iTero Element.
With this new method, not only is a digital impression more comfortable for our patients, it’s also much more accurate. The scanner has the ability to take an incredibly detailed impression of your teeth and gums. Once the scan is complete, we have a complete 3D model of your mouth. It’s that easy. This model can also be used with all Invisalign® services, including the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, to show you how your new smile might look like after your treatment.
