Say goodbye to gagging and gooey impressions! Thanks to the latest technology, the Itero Scanner, Dr. Azizi is able to provide his patients with the best!
What is the Itero Scanner?
The Itero is an intra-oral scanner that creates a 3-D model within minutes. There is a small wand that captures all the areas of the mouth and combines the images of your teeth to create the 3-D model. Dr. Azizi is able to have a patient's mouth scanned within minutes without using any gross materials. With the Itero scanner our office is able to give our patients an amazing and easy experience without gagging! The Itero creates a 3-D model of your mouth which helps Dr. Azizi give his patients the best treatment. While being scanned Dr. Azizi is able to see all dimensions of patients teeth and their bite. The scans are also more accurate and better detailed.
Why is the Itero scanner better than traditional impressions?
The Itero scanner is used for patients who need any orthodontic appliances, retainers, and Invisalign. The Itero guarantees a better fit for all orthodontic appliances, retainers and Invisalign trays versus the impressions we use to take on patients. Thanks to the Itero patients appointments are much quicker because the waiting process is eliminated. After the scan is taken, Dr. Azizi is able to show the patient a simulation of their smile journey. The other amazing thing about being scanned is each scan is saved to your own personal file. So if a you want to see your progress during treatment, we can easily pull up your chart on the Itero and show all the scans we have taken of your mouth during treatment. This is a great way for patients to feel confident in their progress.
Is the Itero only for patients who want Invisalign?
No. All patients are scanned during the new patient consult, regardless of choosing braces or Invisalign. Dr. Azizi will use the scan to create the best treatment plan for his patients whether it is for braces or Invisalign.
