At Bayside Orthodontists, we’re committed to providing the most advanced and comfortable orthodontic care possible. That’s why we use 3D iTero scanning technology that replaces traditional dental impressions with fast, accurate, and mess-free scans.

What is an iTero scan?

An iTero scan is a high-precision digital scan of your teeth and bite, captured using a small handheld wand. Instead of using sticky impression materials, the iTero scanner creates a 3D digital model of your mouth in just a few minutes.

This model gives Dr Brittany Shearn and our team a detailed, real-time view of your teeth and gums, helping us diagnose, plan, and monitor your orthodontic treatment with greater accuracy and comfort.

How iTero scanning works

The iTero process is simple, quick, and completely non-invasive:

Scanning

We use the iTero wand to take thousands of digital images of your teeth and bite.

3D model creation

These images are instantly combined into a highly detailed, three-dimensional model of your mouth.

Treatment planning

Using this model, Dr Brittany Shearn designs your personalised treatment plan, whether you’re starting with clear aligners or braces.

Progress tracking

Throughout treatment, new scans can be compared to your original model, allowing us to precisely track your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
