“iTero” A New Dimension of “Orthodontics”
Every time we visit the dentist to consult about dental problems, we hardly know or see the condition of our “teeth” clearly, or if we do, it is not very clear.
But nowadays, we have dental technology called the iTero Element, which allows patients to see their “teeth” clearly in 3D. It also makes the work more convenient for dentists.
“iTero” and “Orthodontics”… How Are They Related?
“iTero Element” is a 3D digital dental scanner innovation that allows patients to see their teeth clearly, which is very beneficial for “Invisalign clear aligner orthodontics”.
Previously, dental impressions were taken before orthodontic treatment, but now “iTero” can replace that and is even better. Importantly, it helps dentists simulate personalized treatment and orthodontic plans for patients to see immediately in 3D, making it convenient, fast, and accurate. It also shows realistic images so patients can see the tooth models before and after treatment, creating satisfaction and a clear shared goal.
The Benefits of … “iTero”
Besides being useful for orthodontics, “iTero” also supports other dental work effectively.
- Provides a more comfortable feeling than traditional impressions, reducing errors and defects from impression materials
- Can record detailed parts of teeth and oral tissues with realistic images
- Produces more accurate crowns and receives scan results immediately
- Allows detailed and clear information so patients can see treatment simulations before ordering dental appliances
- Improves the effectiveness of oral health treatment results
- Convenient and fast, resulting in quicker delivery of dental appliances compared to traditional impressions
- Stores data as digital image files, preventing breakage or loss like plaster models
Of course, having beautifully aligned teeth along with good oral health requires processes and steps that take time, and sometimes results may not meet expectations. But from now on, you don’t have to worry anymore because “iTero” will make your dental treatment more convenient, faster, accurate, and definitely more satisfying than before.
