Digital impressions with an iTero iOC scanner
Our office uses the most state-of-the-art technology available to help you create the smile you want, which is why we use the iTero TM Digital Orthodontic Impression System.
Using the iTero TM digital scanner, we will take three-dimensional digital image, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. No impression trays with sticky putty needed!
