How we use iTero Digital Scanning

The iTero Imaging System allows our team at Ormeau Dental Care to take high-quality digital scans of your mouth that we can use to create detailed ‘before and after’ images of your teeth.

This amazing technology lets you see the future results of your treatment in minutes, rather than having to wait and see the physical results weeks or even months. Best of all, it uses a combination of red laser and white LED light to make the topographical images of your teeth and gums.

The Process

How we use the iTero Element Digital Scanner

The iTero digital scanner is simply a hand-held wand that our Ormeau Dental Care dentists use to make a highly-detailed scan of the inside of your mouth.

The process is incredibly safe, painless and fast and only takes about two or three minutes to make a complete 3D model of your mouth. This information helps us to better understand your individual dental needs. It also allows us to visualise how different cosmetic treatments, such as Invisalign Clear Aligners, can help us create the perfect smile for you.
