Invisalign

iTero Digital Scanning

A quick digital scan replaces the messy impression trays of the past — more comfortable for you and more accurate for your aligners.

How the scan works

A small wand glides over your teeth and captures a precise 3D model in a few minutes. There’s no putty, no gagging, and no waiting for an impression to set. The model goes straight to the Invisalign lab to design your custom aligners.

Why patients prefer it

Most patients say the scan is the easiest part of the consultation. And because the digital model is more accurate than a physical impression, your aligners tend to fit better from the very first set.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

What is the iTero scan like?
Quick, comfortable, and dry. A small wand glides over your teeth taking thousands of images per second. There is no impression tray, no goop, and no gag reflex. Most full scans take five to ten minutes.
What is iTero used for?
Designing your Invisalign treatment, planning crowns and bridges, recording your bite for nightguards, comparing scans over time to track gum recession or wear, and producing a same-day Outcome Simulator that shows what your teeth could look like after Invisalign.
Is the radiation safe?
There is no radiation. iTero is purely optical — visible light and structured-light imaging only. It is safe for kids, pregnant patients, and anyone.
Do I have to do an iTero scan?
If you are starting Invisalign, yes — it replaces traditional impressions and is required by Invisalign for treatment planning. For other procedures it is optional but usually faster and more comfortable than goop impressions.
