The Role of iTero Scanning in Invisalign & Digital Dentistry

Revolutionizing Dental Care with iTero Scanning

Modern dentistry is changing rapidly, and digital technology is at the forefront of this change. One of the most advanced tools in digital dentistry is the iTero scanner, a state-of-the-art device that enhances treatment accuracy and patient experience. From Invisalign® clear aligners to other dental restorations, iTero scanning has become an essential tool to get accurate, efficient and comfortable treatment.
In this blog, we will find out how iTero scanning plays a key role in Invisalign treatments and why it’s a game-changer in digital dentistry.

What is iTero Scanning?

The iTero scanner is an advanced digital intraoral scanning tool that eliminates the need for traditional, messy dental impressions. Rather than using putty molds, this device quickly captures a highly detailed 3D digital image of your teeth and gums in just a few minutes. The resulting scan can be utilized for various dental treatments, such as:

  • Invisalign® clear aligners
  • Crowns, bridges, and veneers
  • Digital treatment planning
  • Bite analysis and orthodontic assessments

iTero & Invisalign: A Perfect Match

For patients considering Invisalign, iTero scanning offers a smoother, more efficient experience. Here’s how:

  1. No More Messy Impressions
    Gone are the days of uncomfortable, goopy dental molds! The iTero scanner captures a precise digital image of your teeth without discomfort.
  2. Faster & More Accurate Results
    iTero scans provide highly detailed 3D images, ensuring better-fitting aligners and more predictable Invisalign treatment results.
  3. Instant Invisalign Outcome Simulator
    One of the most exciting benefits is the Invisalign Outcome Simulator—patients can see a preview of their new smile before treatment even begins! This visual helps patients stay motivated and confident about their transformation.
  4. Quicker Treatment Start
    Because iTero scans are digital, they can be sent instantly to Invisalign labs—reducing wait times and speeding up the start of treatment.

Why iTero is a Game-Changer in Digital Dentistry

In addition to its use with Invisalign, iTero scanning significantly improves precision, efficiency, and patient comfort across a range of dental treatments. Here’s what makes it a favorite among both dentists and patients:

  • High Accuracy: Reduces the mistakes often associated with traditional impressions.
  • Better Patient Experience: Offers a comfortable, quick, and non-invasive scanning process.
  • Improved Treatment Planning: Helps dentists identify potential issues at an early stage.
  • Eco-Friendly & Digital: No need for disposable impression materials.

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!!
