Drs. Gregory Bennet and Andrew Timmerman of Arvada Dental Center understand that realigning the smile and closing up gaps is of high priority for those with an imperfect smile. With the use of today’s digital technology, patients can now achieve a more attractive smile without the need for metal brackets and wires associated with more conventional orthodontic treatments. Instead, patients who visit our Avada, Colorado area practice will be excited to learn that we offer a “clear” alternative that helps patients achieve results without feeling embarrassed by their smile. This treatment, known as Invisalign, continues to grow in popularity as it makes straightening the smile easy and discreet. It also uses the most advanced technology to achieve results. This includes the iTero Element digital scanning device.
How does the iTero Element digital scanner work?
With Invisalign, the laboratories creating the realignment trays used for this treatment will need impressions of the current smile alignment. In the past, this required patients to deal with messy gels used in creating a mold of the teeth in their current positions. Not only was this uncomfortable, but it did not provide the most accurate impressions for fabricating aligner trays.
With the iTero Element digital scanner, patients now have the opportunity to comfortably have precision, three-dimensional images created of their smile, which are then sent electronically to the Invisalign laboratories to create the final series of alignment trays. The results are more accurate, ensuring the best results.
What can I expect from my digital scans at Arvada Dental Center?
Scanning the smile is easy with the iTero Element digital scanner. Patients relax in the treatment chair and open their mouths while our dentists use a wand-like device along the teeth to create a 3D model of the smile within minutes. When complete, the dentist sends the files to the Invisalign laboratory to have their tray series created with this amazing technology.
