Here at Honour Health, we know the importance of investing in the latest technology for the benefit of our patients. That’s why we’re proud to be at the forefront of the biggest revolution in dentistry in the last 50 years with the introduction of our cutting edge iTero Scanner!
What is the iTero Scanner?
The iTero scanner is the latest development in 3D scanning technology, which enables us to create a vastly superior record of the teeth, improving assessment and diagnosis. It also enables us to provide stunningly accurate and beautiful dental restorations, produced from a digital image.
If you’ve ever wondered what you would look like with beautifully straight teeth, the iTero will show you an instant 3D outcome simulation of what you could achieve using our clear Invisalign aligners.
If you decide to go ahead with treatment, then the iTero scanner will send a digital image straight to Invisalign to allow completely accurate manufacture of the clear aligners.
This is an excellent alternative to taking impressions, which involves placing putty into a tray and taking a physical imprint of the patient’s teeth. Taking a digital scan of the teeth is a much faster, more comfortable process.
What happens during Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign treatment is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. A series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth to move them little by little.
Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. The treatment time depends on your specific needs and will be decided by your dentist.
What are the benefits?
Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and typically hardly anyone notices that you’re wearing them.
The aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. Unlike traditional fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires.
Here at Honour Health, we have a team of experienced Invisalign practitioners who are achieving brilliant results with this treatment.
