iTero® Intraoral Scanner

The iTero scanner uses a small handheld wand that our orthodontists gently guide around your teeth and gums. As it moves, the wand emits a safe, radiation-free laser that captures precise data about the structure of your teeth and soft tissue. The resulting 3D images appear in real time on a nearby screen — so you can actually see what your orthodontist sees.

The entire scan typically takes just a few minutes, and the resulting digital impressions are significantly more detailed and accurate than traditional putty-based molds.

More precise impressions mean more precisely fitted appliances — and ultimately, more predictable, efficient treatment outcomes. Whether you're getting metal braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign® clear aligners, the iTero scan plays a foundational role in your treatment planning:

The iTero scanner is one of many ways that Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics works to make your experience as comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable as possible.
