Summer Guessing Contest

The impressionless digital scanner for Invisalign has arrived!!

Have you heard the news yet??

 

We are excited to introduce our new iTero digital 3D scanner, which will make our patient’s journey to a Dr. Niles Smile better than ever!
  

This new state-of-the-art digital scanning system allows us to get accurate, digital impressions of teeth and gums in minutes – and completely eliminates the need for trays and the sticky putty that we used in the past to obtain dental impressions. The iTero scanner can be used for either Invisalign or Invisalign Teen orthodontic treatments.

 

Our patients love this new system because they get to see the Invisalign simulator create a three-dimensional model of their teeth surfaces and gums on the computer screen, and again, no more gagging on trays or gooey impression material.

At Niles Orthodontics we are committed to making sure that our patients receive the most advanced treatment possible. The integration of the iTero system is another example of our dedication and we can’t wait to show it to you!

Here is an overview of how it works: 

What's new for 2013 for Invisalign

 

Invisalign treament has made great strides in just the last 2 years. Their new aligner materials is more accurate, flexible and is created to move teeth more efficiently! We now also have incorporated the Itero digital scanner system to elimate the need for Invisalign impressions for added comfort to our patients, and also the most accurate treatment results possible in this industry!
