How Do Oral Dental Scanners Work for In-House Dental Care?

There are numerous reasons to consider obtaining treatment from a Beverly Hills at-home orthodontist, but the most important consideration is the value of your time and experience. The majority of us lead hectic lives as we try to juggle work, education, and family obligations with our personal demands.

At Smile Health Orthodontics, we think that your visit with us should be a welcome getaway from it all. You’re a VIP at our office while you’re here or during your Beverly Hills Home Consultations Services! We respect your time and are committed to meeting your orthodontic treatment needs.

During your Beverly Hills In House Dental Care appointment with Dr. Solomon, you can be calm and comfortable in your home. Dr. Solomon and a team member will come to your place geared up with all the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to keep you safe and allow you to get access to all the technology and tools necessary to get your perfect smile from the comfort of your home. Let’s take a closer look at one of the most innovative tools you will see Dr. Solomon take in-house dental care, the Itero 3D Scanner.

What Is the Itero 3D Scanner?

iTero scanner is a digital intraoral scanner that produces quick "colored" images "that are more accurate than the traditional alginate impressions ", they help streamline workflow and speed up orthodontic treatment and manufacturing.

How Does an Itero Scanner Work?

Using cutting-edge optical technology, the iTero scanner digitally scans the structure of the teeth and gums. The scanner is a small, portable wand. The specialist can pause the scanning procedure and later restart it as many times as necessary during your in-house dental care.

A radiation-free laser scans your mouth, and in as little as two to three minutes, the laser creates a digitally flawless, three-dimensional impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures.

You’ll be able to track the scans’ progress using digital software, which will include a 3D model of your teeth on our computer screen. Any orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign® clear aligner trays or Spark aligners, can start the right way with the iTero scanner.

Intraoral scanners were formerly inefficient and inaccurate since they were significantly larger, unable to fit everywhere in a patient’s mouth, and thus unable to obtain comprehensive and accurate scans of a patient’s whole set of teeth. But today the iTero can scan all of one’s teeth, including the backmost molars, and it just takes a few minutes.

Since its introduction, iTero, or intraoral, scanners have come a long way. They can now replace the previously utilized adhesive, often imprecise mold impressions in orthodontics. The iTero scanners have radically changed the game to get a straighter smile.

The Benefits of 3D Scans in Orthodontics

Gone are the days of goop, gagging, and discomfort is no longer an issue. Your trusted Beverly Hills orthodontist can obtain a highly accurate digital impression of your teeth and jaw using an iTero scanner.

The new method fully avoids tray and putty imprints, which feel like putting a large wad of gum into your mouth. The old method is extremely inconvenient and frequently leads to numerous rounds of impressions being necessary, some of which are rejected, broken, or misplaced by the team during the planning stage.

The iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression right from the outset, leading to better treatment and a more pleasant patient experience. Digital impressions also allow you to see your teeth in 3D in real-time, which improves communication during your assessment and treatment.

The iTero is an orthodontic hero—for both patients and professionals! For starters, a digital impression, rather than a physical clay impression, may be useful in the customization of Invisalign and Spark aligners and removable retainers much more quickly.

Patients will find the iTero imprint to be as comfortable as possible, with only a small plastic wand moving over their teeth instead of large trays of thick clay. The iTero scanner also provides far more exact imprints of one’s mouth, as physical clay can sometimes miss specific regions, whereas the digital scanner will not.

Most importantly, the iTero has a smile simulator. Before talking about the iTero smile simulator, let’s look at a summary of the benefits of this groundbreaking 3D scanner.

Why Do We Recommend the Itero Scanner?

• Incredibly fast – The whole process takes just a few minutes.
• Ultra-precise – Dr. Solomon will be able to see your teeth and soft tissues in ways we cannot see with the naked eye.
• Comfortable – You won’t need messy bite molds and will be able to swallow and breathe normally during the quick scanning process.
• Informative – With an accurate smile simulation, you can see what your smile will look like after treatment.
• Versatile – Although the iTero Scanner was designed for use with Invisalign® clear aligners, its software is also useful when providing a precise fit for bridges, veneers, and crowns!

Have you ever dreamed about seeing your future smile even before starting your orthodontic treatment? With the help of your Beverly Hills Concierge Orthodontist, that dream can now be a reality.

Thanks to the smile simulator, you can see your future smile before you even start wearing braces.

The Smile Simulator is solely driven by iTero. It lets patients see their scans come to life in real-time and lets them see the ultimate results on the screen.
