iTero® Digital Impression System
Never deal with the gagging or discomfort of messy dental molds again! With the use of an iTero scanner, an orthodontist such as Dr. Skrobola can create a precise digital impression of your teeth and jaws. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, the need for tray and putty impressions is completely eliminated. Previous methods to capture dental impressions are incredibly unpleasant and usually require multiple rounds of impressions that can be flawed, rejected, or broken. An iTero scanner guarantees a more precise impression from the start, which will result in improved treatment and a more comfortable experience for patients. Digital impressions offer the benefits of being able to see your teeth in real time 3D. This can substantially improve communication during the consultation process and throughout treatment.

The iTero Scanner is known for its high precision and accuracy. However, the all new iTero Element scanner has been designed to compress everything that doctors love about previous iTero scanners into a compact version, offering a smaller footprint and even bigger capabilities. The iTero Element scanner is made to offer the latest technology right at your fingertips.

How Does The iTero Element Digital Scanner Work?
This intra-oral scanner emits red laser light with white LED light in order to record topographical images of the oral tissue and teeth.
What Are The Risks?
Experience the convenience of digital dental impressions risk-free! Normal usage of the intra-oral scanner doesn’t present danger to the human eye or emit any radiation.
What Is The iTero Element Scanner Used For?
The iTero Element is a visual impression system that is used to record 3D images of oral tissue and teeth. The data that is generated from iTero may be used in combination with the production of dental devices such as aligners, braces, or retainers.
What Are The Benefits?
As technology advances we find more efficient ways to get the things we need. The iTero Element system provides distinct advantages over existing systems including powder-free scanning and instant feedback. Also, the iTero Element system has the power to increase office efficiency, improve clinical outcomes, and add to patient satisfaction.
How Does It Work?
1. THE WAND
An orthodontist such as Dr. Skrobola uses the iTero Element Scanner wand to capture images of your teeth and gums. This process utilizes only visible light and there is no exposure to ionizing radiation.
2. THE SCAN
Since your orthodontic model is digitally created in real-time, you are able to follow the scanning process on screen. This eliminates the need to re-take impressions and keeps the details of your treatment easy to understand.
3. THE 3D MODEL
Once the completed scan is available as a 3D model, Dr. Skrobola can begin planning your treatment and to create orthodontic appliances or clear aligners such as Invisalign and Invisalign Teen.
