iTero Digital Impressions
At Honey Orthodontics in Gurnee, IL, Dr. Oana Honey is proud to offer iTero™ digital impressions, a faster, more comfortable, and highly accurate alternative to traditional molds. With this advanced technology, messy putty impressions are no longer needed, making your orthodontic experience easier from the very first visit.
For patients considering Invisalign clear aligners, precision is key. The iTero system captures detailed 3D images of your teeth, allowing for more accurate treatment planning and better overall results. Compared to traditional impressions, the difference is like upgrading from an old camera to a high-definition image, clear, precise, and reliable.
How iTero Scanning Works
The iTero scanner uses a small, handheld wand to create a 3D digital model of your teeth and gums in just minutes. The process is simple and non-invasive:
- No trays or messy materials
- You can breathe, swallow, and move comfortably
- Real-time images appear instantly on the screen
- Highly accurate scans reduce the need for retakes
Once your scan is complete, the digital file is securely sent to the lab, allowing Dr. Honey to begin planning your treatment right away. With Invisalign, this technology can even show a preview of your future smile before treatment begins.
