How it works

Invisalign is the “Near invisible” way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove your aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces. And this technology is also more convenient, since you are likely to spend less time in the doctor’s office getting adjustments.

Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired final positioning.

The treatment process

Dream Smile is one the hand full of clinics in UK that Provides iTero scanning.

The iTero handheld wand takes a digital, 3D image of your prepared teeth, stopping as needed.  You can look at the iTero 3D image on the screen in real-time.

Now instead of UPS shipping impressions to the lab to be scanned, the digital image is electronically sent to the lab and is available in the Invisalign Clincheck system the next day.  The accuracy and detail of the iTero scan vs a putty impression is kind of like watching HDTV over standard definition TV.  These digital scans don’t need to be rescanned so by removing the “clay modeling step” we have greatly improved the accuracy.
iTero is one of those devices that obsolete the previous technology over-night.  If you’re talking to an Orthodontist currently find out when he is switching over to iTero intra-oral scanning.  If you don’t want to wait, give Dr. Tehranian a call.  The consultation is no cost to you and because we’ve eliminated all the costs of creating a plaster mold of your mouth we’re passing the savings on to you!
