What is an iTero 5D scanner and how does it work?

An iTero 5D scanner is a digital intraoral scanner that uses light and lasers to create an accurate 3D model of your mouth. It replaces traditional impressions with impression material and captures images with unmatched precision. The scanner not only captures the structure of your teeth and gums but also identifies early signs of cavities using near-infrared imaging (NIRI).

The process is quick and painless. In less than a minute, the dentist can scan your entire mouth and display a detailed 3D model on the screen in front of you. You can see what your bite looks like, how your teeth are positioned, and what the results of future treatments are expected to be.

The unique benefits of the iTero 5D scanner

See your future smile with the Invisalign Outcome Simulator

Using the built-in simulator, you can see how your smile will change after Invisalign treatment. This provides both motivation and peace of mind as you begin your treatment. The technology helps your dentist plan each step with the utmost precision, resulting in a natural and harmonious outcome.

NIRI technology: Detects cavities without X-rays

One of the biggest advantages of the iTero 5D scanner is that it detects cavities between teeth without the need for X-rays. This makes the examination both safer and more comfortable for the patient. By detecting cavities early, the dentist can prevent more extensive procedures and protect the teeth in a gentle way.

TimeLapse: Track Your Teeth Over Time

With the TimeLapse feature, your dentist can compare previous scans with new ones and show changes over time, such as wear, tooth movement, or exposed tooth necks. It’s an effective way to monitor your oral health and detect small changes before they develop into bigger problems.

Convenient, fast, and completely impression-free

The traditional impression-taking process can be both time-consuming and uncomfortable. With the iTero 5D scanner, you can avoid all of that. The scan takes only about 60 seconds, making it one of the fastest solutions in modern dentistry. For patients who feel anxious about treatment, this means a much calmer and more comfortable experience.
