When it comes to our patients at Firouz Orthodontics, combining state-of-the-art technologies with exceptional care and service are top priorities. Preparing for orthodontic treatment for yourself or your children may seem overwhelming. That’s why we present personalized information in a clear, easy-to-understand way, so you can make decisions confidently. Beginning with your initial office consultation, you’ll be comfortable knowing you have the most complete treatment information and recommendations possible.
To help us do that, we are thrilled to use the iTero Element® intraoral scanner as part of our treatment planning process. This exceptional technology delivers incredibly accurate visuals that are essentially digital “impressions”. With these images and accompanying information, you’ll have everything you need to make decisions. If you are a visual learner, the colorful iTero Scan Reports will be perfect for you. Take the report home with you, review at your convenience, and simply call us with any questions! Our goal is making you comfortable with a treatment plan that’s customized for you.
iTero Scan Report
Why do patients love the iTero Element scanner?
Convenient scan reports
Orthodontists who use the iTero Element scanner are able to provide immediate access to your intraoral images and treatment recommendations. Following a simple, 60-second scan, we present a concise results summary called the iTero Scan Report. Take the report home with you and take the time you need to consider any questions you may have. We are here to help make you comfortable in your treatment decisions.
No more messy putty impressions
We all know the traditional, old-school way of securing dental impressions – messy dental putty. With the iTero Element scanner, that’s a thing of the past! Our patients love this state-of-the-art digital impression system because it eliminates the need for heavy impression plates and thick putty in your mouth.
Exceptional Imagery
With the iTero Element scanner, we capture highly detailed, digital 3D models of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable for patients than putty based impressions, it’s faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint. That means the best possible results for you!
Greater Patient Comfort
No more gooey mess means you can breathe and swallow as you normally would, and there’s no putty residue afterwards. Another benefit is no unpleasant taste or smell. Patients may breathe and swallow as they normally would, which can be somewhat difficult when using metal plates and putty.
Quick, Easy, and Accurate
While you’re still in the chair, you can view 3D scans onscreen immediately. The iTero Element also supports faster delivery times of your personalized Invisalign® treatment plan, compared to using traditional dental impressions. Additionally, if you are a patient who needs crowns, bridges, implants, or retainers, iTero Element provides the information we need for the most precise fit for your individual needs. Even better, this system eliminates the need for us to retake impressions.
iTero Element takes Invisalign® treatment to the next level.
Invisalign treatment is an advanced, clear aligner system uniquely customized for each patient. Unlike braces or other fixed dental appliances, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. Unlike with braces, there is no need to change the way you brush or floss, and you can keep eating all the foods you love.
Following initial Invisalign consultation with us, and a review of your customized treatment plan, we will create your first set of aligners. When you return to our office for your first aligners, we’ll examine you carefully to be sure you’re off to a good start. As weeks and months progress, we will examine your progress either virtually or in-person to be certain each step in the Invisalign process is improving your smile the way it should.
With the iTero Element intraoral scanner, Invisalign planning and treatment plans are more precise than ever. This ultimately means the best overall outcome for our patients. Beyond the scanning accuracy iTero Element provides, we can most closely track the progress of your Invisalign treatment. This system allows Dr. Firouz and his team to help you complete your Invisalign treatment faster than we could by using traditional, putty-based dental impressions.
