Embracing Modern Orthodontics: Alpha Plus Dental’s Leap into iTero™ Technology for Invisalign

Modern Orthodontics

Discover the Power of iTero™ Technology in Modern Orthodontics

Have you ever had a digital scan of your teeth taken? Have you heard of an iTero scanner before? iTero technology is a cutting-edge digital scanning system used in dentistry and orthodontics to create highly accurate 3D scans of a patient’s teeth and gums. It replaces the traditional method of using messy impression materials, offering patients a more comfortable and efficient experience. iTero scanners use advanced laser and optical technology to capture detailed images of the oral structures, which can be used for various dental treatments, including Invisalign.

Preview Your New Smile with Invisalign and iTero Technology

If you’re considering Invisalign braces, you can preview your new smile on screen before you start your treatment using the Invisalign treatment outcome simulator. The iTero scanner was created by Align Technology, a global medical device company changing lives through better smiles. Their iTero intraoral scanner has scientifically proven greater accuracy for clinical orthodontic needs. It’s designed to simplify scanning of complex regions such as the palate, edentulous spaces, partially erupted teeth, and crowded teeth thanks to iTero Multi-Direct Capture™ technology, a wider field of view, considerable capture distance, and multi-angle capture.

How iTero Technology Enhances Invisalign Treatments

iTero technology has significantly enhanced Invisalign treatments in several ways:

  • Improved Scanning Accuracy: iTero scanners offer high-resolution 3D digital impressions of the patient’s teeth and gums. This accuracy ensures a precise fit for the Invisalign aligners, leading to better treatment outcomes.
  • Enhanced Patient Experience: Traditional dental impressions can be uncomfortable and messy for patients. iTero scanners provide a more comfortable and faster scanning experience, reducing patient discomfort and anxiety.
  • Real-Time Visualization: With iTero technology, patients and orthodontists can visualize the digital impression in real time on a chairside monitor. This allows for immediate feedback and adjustments, ensuring optimal treatment planning and communication between the patient and the orthodontist.
  • Compatibility with Invisalign: iTero scanners seamlessly integrate with Invisalign’s digital workflow. The digital impressions captured by iTero scanners are directly transferred to Invisalign’s software for treatment planning, eliminating the need for physical impressions and reducing turnaround times.
  • Iterative Treatment Planning: The detailed digital impressions provided by iTero scanners enable orthodontists to create more precise treatment plans. They can simulate the movements of the teeth throughout the Invisalign treatment process, allowing for adjustments and refinements to achieve the desired results efficiently.

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
