The iTero scanner can also be used to make custom trays for whitening, TMJ appliances, or sports guards, as well as wellness scans! The iTero’s newest technology allows time lapse views of gum recession, as well as occlusal analysis.

Key points about using an iTero scanner for occlusal analysis:

Visual representation:

The Occlusogram feature displays a color-coded map of the occlusal contacts, highlighting areas of high pressure or uneven bite distribution. This allows the dentist to visualize a patient’s bite force distribution, identifying potential issues with occlusion and trauma causes to the teeth.
Patient communication:

The visual nature of the scan helps dentists effectively communicate potential issues with the patient’s bite, improving understanding and treatment acceptance.
Treatment planning:

By analyzing the occlusal data, dentists can plan restorative procedures, such as crown placement, with greater accuracy, ensuring proper bite alignment. This also allows the patient to “see” their mouth in 3D and gain a better understand of the treatment recommendations.
TMJ evaluation:

The iTero scanner can be used to assess potential contributing factors to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by analyzing bite patterns, as well as used to fabricate TMJ appliances, as well as occlusal guards for clenching and grinding.
Monitoring progress:

Repeated scans over time can track changes in occlusion, recession and assess the effectiveness of treatment interventions.
