iTero 5D Intraoral Scanner
4 reasons why we love the iTero and know you will too!
1) It has NIRI technology
NIRI stands for Near Infrared Imaging. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to see inside the tooth and visualize the internal tooth structure.
We are able to see beyond the outer structure to be able to better diagnose and treatment plan for patients, seeing decay before we can even see it on an x-ray, as well as cracks in teeth.
Not only can we see beyond what the eye can see, but we can also clearly show any changes in the mouth to you. By scanning often, we can monitor caries and catch issues early for better tooth health. Plus there is no harmful radiation, which makes it safe to use on a regular basis for the best results.
2) It has an Invisalign outcome simulator
The iTero 5D Invisalign Outcome Simulator is a popular feature among our patients. It creates a one-minute alignment demonstration, using the scans to create a time lapse simulation.
We can conveniently show you how your teeth could move with Invisalign, and it’s simple to use, as well as quick and easy for you to watch!
3) It can forecast problems with the TimeLapse feature
This innovative feature enables us to forecast issues and diagnose problems by comparing different scans with its innovative TimeLapse feature.
This can give us a better understanding of the way in which the soft tissue is receding, as well as any abrasion, erosion and tooth movement. By comparing scans from previous appointments, we can easily see changes and treat them appropriately.
4. It provides an occlusogram for bite analysis
This advanced technology, using its rainbow-colored occlusal clearance legend, allows us to thoroughly analyze the overall structure and function of your bite.
This allows us to detect signs of occlusal trauma including chipping, wearing, thinning, recession and abfraction lesions. Through this feature, we are able to proactively provide solutions for things you cannot see but may eventually feel – saving you time and money in the future.
