The iOC Scanner, powered by iTero, ensures a more accurate impression from the start, which results in improved orthodontic treatment. An accurate impression is the foundation of the accurate study model required for effective treatment planning and orthodontic care. This step is even more crucial when placing brackets indirectly (out of mouth on a cast) or planning for Invisalign treatment since a three dimensional geometric model is developed to project tooth movement from an impression.
The impression step is also one of the most invasive procedures involved in daily orthodontic therapy, and a host of variables affect the precision of conventional impressions. Imagine no more goop, gagging or discomfort!
