What is iTero intraoral scanner
The iTero intraoral scanner is a compact and hand-held wand connected to the touchscreen. Our dentists can use this to captures the teeth and gum using the latest 3D optical technology. It doesn’t emit radiation and can render a digitally perfect 3D impression of your teeth within minutes.
Unlike traditional impression which has to be repeated all over again if something goes wrong, the iTero scanner can automatically overlap the problematic area by scanning over. Thus, saving time and material.
Through the touchscreen, patient will be able to follow the progress of the intraoral scan. Upon completion, dentist can rotate, navigate, zoom in and out the 3D teeth model to show to patient.
