Welcome to Liesen Family Dental, where we integrate advanced technology with compassionate dental care. In our continuous effort to offer the best to our patients in Collinsville, IL, Dr. Liesen and his team are proud to incorporate the revolutionary iTero™ digital scan into our practice. This evolving breakthrough technology constantly reshapes the dental and orthodontic experience, and we are excited to share its benefits with you.
What is iTero™ Digital Scan?
The iTero™ digital scan is a state-of-the-art imaging technology that captures a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions that can be uncomfortable and messy, iTero™ uses a compact, hand-held wand to scan your mouth quickly and comfortably. This cutting-edge technology is more patient-friendly and provides exceptionally accurate dental images.
While this digital scanner’s most known uses are for the custom fitting of Invisalign® clear aligner treatment, iTero™ can also be used for things like planning restorative care and oral cancer detection—it can even give you a time-lapse model of what your teeth will look like before and after specific procedures!
