All About iTero

The iTero Element scanner is designed to put the latest technology at your dentist’s fingertips and make intraoral scanning fun for everyone. The advanced technology and design of the new iTero Element scanner transforms in-office visits. Dental offices gain scheduling flexibility, real-time imaging, and ongoing training support to maximize the benefits of iTero scanning for the practice. Industry-leading, open-choice imaging lets you view images of the mouth in 3D. Easy visualization improves chairside communication when discussing dental options and benefits.

A lot of patients are afraid of impressions because they do not want to have the impression material in their mouth for what they know is going to be a long period of time. When they’re told that their dentist can take a picture and give them a break in-between if needed, patients breathe a sigh of relief. A lot of times, that patient will commit to ortho treatment where they may not have earlier.

As of March 2016, iTero scans have been used in more than 1.2 million restorative crown, bridge, and custom implant cases and more than 2.7 million iTero orthodontic scans, including more than 1 million Invisalign® scans.

The iTero Element scanner is engineered to capture 6,000 frames per second, which is 20X faster than the current version. Scanned images appear instantly with crisp definition on the 19″ high- definition, multi-touch display.
