iTero Digital Impression System
Conventional vs Digital Impressions
No more goop, gagging, or discomfort. Using an iTero scanner, your orthodontist can take a highly accurate digital impression of your teeth and jaw. The new technology completely eliminates the tray and putty impressions, where the experience is comparable to stuffing a big wad of gum in your mouth. The old technique is incredibly unpleasant and frequently results in taking multiple rounds of impressions that can be rejected, broken, or misplaced. The iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. Digital impressions also give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.
How Does it Work?
The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. The scanner is a compact, handheld wand. Once your orthodontist begins the scanning process, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary.
Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser, and in as little as two to three minutes, the laser renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Through digital software, you'll then be able to follow the progress of the scans, including a 3D model of your teeth on our computer screen. The iTero scanner can be used for any orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign® Treatment.
Duthie Orthodontics Reviews
We’ve always had good experiences with Duthie Orthodontics!
My daughter has been a patient with Duthie for over a year and we could not be more grateful for the support and respect that we feel each and every time we visit for care.
My son is being treated at Duthie and has been seen with multiple different doctors over the course of his treatment. We are now seeing Dr Young and after what seemed like a long pause in any type of progress with prior provider we we finally seem to be moving forward. We have seen Cary multiple times and she is so good with my son. She has offered ideas and thoughts which have significantly helped with breaking brackets and preventing further delays in treatment. Everyone in the office is upbeat and kind and responsive to my questions or concerns. What used to be a dreaded appt for my son has slowly gotten more enjoyable and more importantly for a 16 year old who has had braces for much longer than we expected there is finally an end in sight. We’re happy we continued and are looking forward to seeing the end result.
Shelly and Dr. Young are simply the best!! We love the kindness and outstanding care we always receive!!!
We have had a wonderful experience with everyone at Duthie especially Dr. Young and Summer. They have made the whole process smooth and always made my daughter feel comfortable. We would highly recommend them and will definitely bring our younger daughter when she’s ready!
