Our orthodontist, Dr. Michael Cook, and team use an iTero® digital scanner to simulate your treatment and take digital impressions. We take impressions both during your treatment and after it is completed, and the impressions taken at the end of your treatment are kept on file just in case they are ever needed. To learn more about the iTero digital scanner in Sandy and Roosevelt, Utah, and make an appointment, call Cook Orthodontics at 801-523-2509.
Our orthodontic office utilizes iTero digital scanning to bring precision and comfort to your treatment experience. This advanced technology allows us to capture highly detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth and surrounding structures in just minutes. With iTero scanning, we can assess your oral health with greater accuracy, diagnose orthodontic concerns and develop customized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. The system also enables us to simulate potential treatment outcomes, so you can see how your smile may look once your treatment is complete.
During your scan, a small, handheld wand is used to comfortably and efficiently capture digital images of the inside of your mouth. The iTero scanner processes up to 20 images per second in full color, which helps us clearly distinguish between healthy and problematic areas. Unlike traditional impressions, which can be messy and uncomfortable, iTero scanning is noninvasive and eliminates the need for dental molds. The scanning process is quick, and the captured images are saved in real time, ensuring that the results are accurate and immediate.
One of the most exciting features of iTero technology is its ability to create precise digital models of your teeth. These models allow us to design orthodontic appliances, such as clear aligners or retainers, that fit perfectly and work efficiently. Additionally, the system’s real-time imaging enhances communication between you and our orthodontist, empowering you to actively participate in your treatment decisions.
iTero scanning is not just a step forward in technology; it is a step forward in patient care. By reducing the need for multiple appointments and improving the accuracy of your treatment, it helps streamline your orthodontic journey while maintaining your comfort and convenience.
