iTero Element Scanner
iTero Element Scanner
The iTero Element Scanner replaces traditional putty impressions with a quick digital scan, creating a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Many patients find it more comfortable than conventional molds, and the resulting model gives our team a clear, accurate view for planning treatment — including Invisalign and other clear aligner therapy.
Why a Digital Scan Helps
- No messy putty — the scanner captures your bite with a small wand instead of a tray of material.
- Faster appointments — digital scans are typically quicker than taking and re-taking physical impressions.
- Precise planning — the 3D model can be used alongside our CAD/CAM technology when designing restorations or aligners.
Who Uses This Scan
Dr. Michael Fakhouri, DDS, keeps current with scanning technology as part of his continuing education and may use the iTero scanner when planning restorative or esthetic treatment. Dr. Ahmed Shawky, DDS, MS, an orthodontist, may also use iTero scans when planning Invisalign and other clear aligner treatment for patients.
