How it works
With its advanced laser scanning technology, the iTero scanner can capture thousands of highly detailed images of your teeth and gums in seconds.
These images are then stitched together to create a precise 3D digital model of your mouth, allowing more accurate and effective treatment planning.
And best of all, the iTero scanner is a non-invasive and pain-free way to get a digital impression of your mouth so you can say goodbye to messy impression materials and uncomfortable procedures.
The iTero scanner works by using a wand-like device that is inserted into a patient’s mouth.
The device emits a safe, high-frequency laser that captures highly detailed images of the patient’s teeth and gums.
The scanner takes thousands of pictures per second, then processes and stitches them together using advanced software to create an extremely accurate 3D model of the patient’s mouth.
