iTero® Digital Impression System
At Ellis Orthodontics, we are committed to providing you with the most comfortable and precise treatment possible. That’s why we’ve replaced old-school, goopy putty impressions with the state-of-the-art iTero® Digital Impression System.
Say goodbye to gagging and discomfort, and say hello to a new era of orthodontic technology.
A Better, More Comfortable Experience
The iTero scanner allows us to take a highly accurate 3D digital image of your teeth and jaw. The old method of using trays filled with putty was often unpleasant, messy, and sometimes required multiple attempts to get a usable impression. The iTero scanner makes the process fast, comfortable, and more accurate from the very start.
How Does It Work?
The iTero system uses a small, handheld scanner wand. We simply move the wand around your mouth, and its radiation-free laser digitally captures the structure of your teeth and gums.
The process is simple and can be paused at any time if you need a break. In as little as two to three minutes, we have a perfect digital impression ready to be used for any orthodontic treatment, from braces to Invisalign®.
