iTero 5D Scanner

The iTero 5D scan refers to a digital intraoral scanning system used primarily in Dentistry for Crowns, Veneers, Orthodontics, Invisalign

At Ministry of Smile, we have The iTero Element 5D Scanner that is a high-tech scanner developed by Align Technology (the makers of Invisalign), and it offers several key features:

Key Features:

3D Intraoral Scanning: Captures precise digital impressions of the teeth and gums, replacing traditional molds

The iTero 5D scanner can help improve patient comfort in several ways. Here’s how:

• No More Messy Impressions:

  Traditional dental impressions involve trays filled with gooey material that can trigger gag reflexes. The iTero 5D uses a digital scanner to capture a 3D image of the teeth, eliminating discomfort.

• Faster Scanning Time:

  The iTero 5D offers fast scanning, reducing the time patients need to sit still with their mouths open.

• Less Invasive:

  The scanner uses a small wand that gently moves around the mouth—no pressure, no poking, and less anxiety.

• Instant Visualization:

  Patients can see their scans and potential treatment outcomes on-screen in real time, which helps reduce uncertainty and increases confidence in the process.

• Fewer Repeat Scans:

  With high precision, the iTero 5D often gets it right the first time, minimizing the need for retakes that could cause additional discomfort.  Unless other intra oral scanners available in the market.

  Accurate Results = Better Fitting Restorations

   

• Integrated Near-Infrared Imaging (NIRI):

  It allows for early detection of interproximal caries (between teeth) without X-rays, which means less radiation and no uncomfortable bitewings.

  Especially helpful for patients who need to limit radiation (pregnant women, children, frequent imaging patients).

• TimeLapse Technology:

  Tracks changes in the teeth over time (e.g., wear, movement, gum recession).
