How to Use iTero Scanners: Onboarding and Training

Recognized globally for their powerful intraoral scanners, iTero® is a brand doctors trust for digital impressioning. Whether transitioning to digital impressioning for the first time or adding an additional scanner to keep up with output demands, iTero offers industry-leading educational resources to help you and your staff get the most out of your investment.

As part of their commitment to your success, iTero provides one of the industry’s leading onboarding training programs with all new scanner purchases. This program enables you to learn iTero scanner features, develop scanning techniques, and understand how to utilize the scan data for accurately diagnosing and educating patients on their optimal treatment plan.

iTero also offers continued education through its on-demand learning platform, including live online training, clinical training resources, and more. Today, we’re going to outline what you can expect when getting started with iTero intraoral scanners.

Dedicated Integration and Support Teams
Complimenting iTero’s powerful hardware and software components, doctors speak favorably about iTero’s commitment to customer service. iTero gives customers a premium user experience by providing you with a live team of experts who are dedicated to your success with their scanner. Every purchase, including certified pre-owned iTero scanners, is provided with a dedicated integration and support team.

From shipment to scanning, iTero customers are kept well-informed – not only in how to use their scanners, but also how to maximize the value of their scanners. In some cases, with more experience with their iTero, doctors find additional ways to maximize their investment – such as in-office 3D printing or submitting Invisalign® cases. Below, we’re sharing a few of the ways iTero scanners can be used in dental and specialty practices.

Restorative Procedures
iTero has powered over 10 million restorative procedures worldwide. Through their award-winning restorative platform, general and specialty practitioners are given a powerful scanning workflow to improve the treatment planning and case acceptance of restorative procedures. With these tools, an iTero scanner enhances restorative procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants, surgical guides, and more.

The restorative operator guide walks you and your staff through taking the necessary scans for restorative procedures, so you get the best results in a fraction of the time of other impressioning methods. The system guides through 5 scanning segments to complete the restorative process from treatment planning to prepped tooth.

Once scans are complete, iTero makes it easy to share results with both your patients and your labs/referrals. Restorative scans with iTero produce high-quality 3D images, perfect for chairside visualization with patients. Digital impressions make a realistic recreation for patient education and treatment planning. Patients have a very positive reaction to seeing their mouths in a digital impression.

Orthodontic Procedures
With over 10 years in business, iTero became popular among orthodontists, adopting intraoral scanning technology as an alternative to traditional impressioning. Having a digital patient record in an easily exportable STL file allowed for a more efficient exchange of dental records without requiring physical storage space. Plus, because iTero is manufactured by the same company as Invisalign®, dental professionals working with the popular clear aligner brand saw the benefit of switching to intraoral scanning to improve their Invisalign workflow.

In addition to supporting clear aligner workflows, an iTero scanner can be useful in 3D printed applications including dentures, night guards, and other removable appliances. The rising popularity of in-office 3D printing has improved the workflows of many dental and specialty practices. Completing a full arch scan in minutes, then transferring it to your 3D printer can help maintain efficient productivity.
