Experience the Future of Dental Impressions with iTero® Element™
At Hwang Orthodontics, we are proud to embrace the latest in dental technology to provide our patients with the most comfortable and efficient orthodontic care. One of the advanced technologies we offer is the iTero® Element™ intraoral scanner, a cutting-edge digital impression system that eliminates the need for traditional, uncomfortable impression molds. With the iTero Element, we can capture highly detailed, precise 3D images of your teeth and gums, providing a faster and more comfortable experience than ever before.
Why Choose Digital Impressions with iTero® Element™?
- Comfort & Convenience: Say goodbye to messy, goopy impression materials! The iTero Element scanner uses a small wand to capture digital images of your teeth and gums, making the process quick and comfortable. You won’t have to worry about gagging or the discomfort of traditional putty impressions.
- Speed & Precision: Digital impressions are faster and more accurate than traditional methods, providing precise images that lead to better results. The iTero Element creates a highly detailed 3D model of your mouth, allowing us to make the best possible treatment plan for your orthodontic needs.
- Ideal for All Orthodontic Treatments: Whether you’re considering braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, or retainers, iTero digital impressions are ideal for all orthodontic procedures. The advanced technology ensures that we have the most accurate representation of your mouth to create a custom treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
- Invisalign® Outcome Simulator: One of the most exciting features of the iTero Element scanner is the ability to see a simulation of your post-treatment smile with the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator (IOSim). This advanced feature allows you to visualize the results of your Invisalign® treatment before you even begin, giving you a clear idea of the smile you can expect.
How Does iTero® Element™ Work?
Scanning Process
During the digital impression process, your orthodontist will gently use the iTero Element wand to capture images of your teeth, gums, and bite. The process is non-invasive, comfortable, and takes just a few minutes. You can breathe, swallow, or take a pause whenever needed—no need to hold your mouth in an uncomfortable position.
Precise 3D Model Creation
Once the scan is complete, the iTero Element instantly generates a 3D model of your mouth. This model can be used to plan your orthodontic treatment with incredible accuracy. It’s an ideal tool for customizing your Invisalign® aligners, braces, or retainers to fit your mouth perfectly.
Visualize Your New Smile
With the iTero Element, we can use the Invisalign Outcome Simulator (IOSim) to show you a realistic 3D simulation of your potential post-treatment smile, giving you a preview of your results before starting treatment.
