At The Ortho Practice, we’re committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in orthodontic care. We’re excited to announce the addition of the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner to our suite of cutting-edge technologies. This next-generation scanner enhances our ability to deliver precise, comfortable, and efficient treatments, including our Invisalign patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the iTero Lumina Scanner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iTero Lumina is the latest innovation from Align Technology, renowned for its Invisalign clear aligner system. This intraoral scanner captures highly detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums, allowing for accurate digital impressions \/ models without the need for traditional (and sometimes messy!) impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

✨ What Makes the iTero Lumina Special?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Fast and Easy Scans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This scanner captures your entire mouth in a single, gentle sweep\u2014instead of piecing lots of images together. That means we get your teeth and gums perfectly in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Smaller, Lighter Wand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The scanning wand is about half the size and weight of older models\u2014so it feels much more comfortable when you\u2019re having it used inside your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Stunning 3D Images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It produces photorealistic 3D images that look almost like a camera photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Super Accurate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With advanced technology, it scans with high precision\u2014even over trickier areas like crowded teeth or high-palate regions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Better for Our Patients?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

✅ Comfy & Quick<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Say goodbye to gooey impression trays! Scanning is quick and non-invasive\u2014perfect for kids or anyone who\u2019s not a fan of the old method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

✅ Clear Treatment Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As soon as we scan, we can show you detailed visuals of your own mouth\u2014and walk you through what your Invisalign treatment could look like in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

✅ More Effective Invisalign Fit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because the scans are so precise, your custom-made aligners fit better from the start\u2014helping your treatment move along efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
