How iTero Improves Invisalign Treatment Planning

When you look into treatment for teeth that are not properly spaced, you can find that there are attractive alternatives to traditional work with metal braces. Our North Hollywood, CA dental practice can help you by guiding your teeth into better alignment with a custom set of Invisalign aligners. The corrective work is done by a set of aligners that are all easy to remove and hard to see, making this a comfortable option for those who want to make changes to their smile.

In addition to making the treatment itself surprisingly easy, we can provide a better experience when we plan your adjustment as well! Our iTero digital scanning technology makes your initial appointment easier by making impressions of your bite easier to capture, and it can lead to a degree of detail in measurements that improve on how we can plan your care!

The Right Planning Leads To Fantastic Smile Improvements With Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are personalized for each patient who receives them. That level of personalization is important because it leads to appliances that fit comfortably as well as the precise adjustments they need for positive results. To make sure our patients receive aligners that are truly right for them, we capture impressions of their teeth and bite formation with an iTero digital scanner. Doing so removes the need to create a plaster mold of your bite, and it can offer remarkably detailed measurements!

Why We Use Digital Scans Instead Of Plaster Bite Molds

To capture measurements of teeth and look at what adjustments are needed during orthodontic work, practices have often relied on physical molds. Making those molds meant patients would bite into a plaster material, a process that could be decidedly unpleasant for them. By using the iTero digital scanner, we can remove this step from treatment planning. The scanner creates a precise 3D rendering of your teeth and bite, which we can then use to have custom aligners made. We can even use the image we capture to show you a preview of what your smile will look like once your results are complete.

What To Look Forward To From Corrective Work With Clear Aligners

Through the use of Invisalign aligners, we are able to fix gaps, overlaps, and other unsightly evidence of poor spacing between teeth. The aligners are hard to see, so you can avoid undesired conversations about your ongoing orthodontic work, and you can feel more comfortable in social and professional environments during your adjustment. You are also free to remove these aligners when you eat and clean your teeth, so they minimize changes to your daily routine.
