Advanced Orthodontic Technology with the iTero® Digital Scanner
At Gragg Orthodontics, we are committed to providing our patients in Morganton and Lenoir with the most advanced, comfortable, and effective orthodontic care available. That’s why we use the iTero® Digital Scanner, a state-of-the-art tool that revolutionizes the way we plan and deliver your treatment. This cutting-edge technology allows us to say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions and hello to a precise, fast, and comfortable digital experience.
The Future of Orthodontics is Here
The iTero scanner is a compact, handheld wand that captures thousands of images per second to create a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums. This digital map is the foundation of your custom treatment plan, whether you’re getting clear aligners or braces. It allows Dr. Gragg to design your new smile with unparalleled precision and even show you a simulation of your results before you even begin!
Benefits of the iTero Digital Scanner
Choosing an orthodontist who uses the iTero scanner means you get a superior treatment experience from start to finish. The benefits include:
Unmatched Precision: The scanner captures every detail of your mouth, leading to custom appliances that fit perfectly and deliver more predictable, effective results.
Superior Comfort: Forget the gooey, gag-inducing putty of traditional impressions. The iTero scan is fast, non-invasive, and completely comfortable.
Faster Appointments: A full-mouth scan takes only a few minutes, reducing your time in the chair and getting you started on your smile journey sooner.
Visualize Your Smile: With the outcome simulator, you can see a 3D rendering of your potential new smile before your treatment even starts, helping you feel confident and excited about the process.
Enhanced Progress Tracking: Digital scans at your appointments allow Dr. Gragg to track your progress with incredible accuracy, ensuring your treatment stays on course.
How Does the iTero Scanner Work?
The iTero scanning process is simple, quick, and fascinating to watch. Here’s what you can expect:
The Scan: A team member will use the iTero wand to scan the inside of your mouth. The wand is small and moves quickly without touching your teeth.
The 3D Model: As the wand scans, a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth will appear on our screen in real-time. You can watch your smile come to life from every angle.
The Treatment Plan: Dr. Gragg uses this precise model to design your custom treatment, whether it’s a series of clear aligners or the placement of Damon Braces. The digital file is sent directly to the lab to create your unique orthodontic appliances.
This streamlined digital workflow ensures accuracy, efficiency, and a better overall experience for you.
