After upgrading to iTero 4.05, customers can begin submitting 3D digital scans in place of physical impressions for Invisalign treatment through the Invisalign Doctor Site as part of the Invisalign case submission process. Current iTero customers will be upgraded through a phased software roll-out over the next several weeks.
"Dentists are already experiencing the benefits of the iTero digital scanning system for a wide range of restorative dental procedures, including implants, crown and bridge, veneers, and more," said
Earlier this year, Align announced Invisalign interoperability for its iOC scanning system, used predominantly by orthodontic practices. Both the iOC and iTero scanning systems utilize laser and optical scanning to capture the contours of the patient's dentition, gingival structures, and bite without the use of powder, resulting in an accurate digital orthodontic scan in minutes. The iTero and iOC scanning systems operate on an open architecture platform, providing doctors and labs with the ability to export custom and generic STL (stereolithography) files of their digital impressions to use with other third party dental service providers. This allows the digital impressions to integrate with cone beam CT images for implant and orthodontic treatment planning.
