No more gagging, messy impressions!

Have you ever had an impression of your mouth taken?

For many years in orthodontics, we have been required to take impressions in order to make all types of appliances.

Many patients have absolutely no problem with impressions, but some find them extremely difficult and uncomfortable. It requires the patient to sit very still and wait 30 or more seconds for the material to set and occasionally, the gag reflex is not a fan of this experience! Say goodbye to invasive, messy, gagging impressions…

We are so excited to introduce to you… the iTero Element!



The iTero Element is a digital scanner that is revolutionizing the way we obtain a model of your mouth to create retainers, appliances, mouth guards, and so much more! 

The latest technology in 3D imaging allows us to scan your mouth using a handheld wand to capture images of each of your teeth (6,000 frames per second!), which are then combined into a composite 3D image of your entire smile.





What are the benefits of the iTero Element scanner?
  • Incredible accuracy
  • Quick (view 3D scans on screen immediately)
  • Clean
  • More comfortable
  • Fewer appointments
  • Digital storage and transmission (models are securely saved)
We have loved the results of this new technology and can’t wait for each of you to experience how well it works! Be sure to watch for the iTero scanner at your next visit.
