Perform iTero Scanning Workflow

To begin the scanning process, click the Scanner icon in the ribbon located at the top of the iTero screen.

Scan the Preparation Site

  1. Center the preparation site within the iTero viewfinder crosshair.

  2. Begin scanning with an occlusal view of the preparation to visualize the margin.

  3. Roll the iTero wand from the lingual side to the buccal side of the preparation.

  4. Roll the iTero wand from the distal side to the mesial side of the preparation.

  5. Review the scan immediately and fill any significant voids in the digital model.

Scan the Upper and Lower Arches

  1. Identify which arch to scan first by following the blue outline on the iTero screen.

  2. Move the iTero wand in a path following the occlusal surfaces.

  3. Move the iTero wand along the lingual surfaces.

  4. Move the iTero wand along the buccal surfaces.

Capture the Bite Registration

  1. Direct the patient to bite down into their natural occlusion.

  2. Use an upper and lower "swooping" motion with the iTero wand to scan from the posterior teeth to the canine.

  3. Repeat the swooping motion on both the left and right sides of the mouth.

  4. Confirm a purple overlay appears on both sides of the digital model to indicate the bite is successfully articulated.
