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, hand-held 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®.

“Just got my Invisalign today from Thrive Orthodontics and had an amazing experience! Friendly staff, super informative, and very professional. Excited to see my results!”Michele C.
Wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
The office was bright and cheerful 😀The girl that checked me in was pleasant.Carrie Ann, the young lady that took care of me was fantastic. She explained what she was doing and why and was very clear about what I had to do once I went home. She was very helpful throughout the whole process.
Very professional and polite, a pleasure to work with. Just wish I started this sooner. I went not only to straighten my teeth, they were so crowded I kept biting the sides of my mouth. Not only had that stopped, I’m more confident when I smile.
