Align Technology / iTero
Align Technology's iTero intraoral scanner provides digital impressions for Invisalign treatment planning and general restorative workflows.
What Align Technology / iTero does
Align Technology is the maker of Invisalign and the iTero intraoral scanner. The iTero scanner is widely used in dental and orthodontic practices for digital impressions, treatment simulation, and Invisalign case submission. iTero's Invisalign outcome simulator allows clinicians to show patients projected results before starting treatment, improving case acceptance. Align's ClinCheck software uses AI to plan Invisalign tooth movements. The iTero ecosystem is deeply integrated with Invisalign workflows.

What to evaluate
The iTero scanner is most valuable for practices offering Invisalign; its advantages for non-Invisalign workflows are less differentiated. Open ecosystem connectivity is more limited than Medit or 3Shape for non-Align lab workflows. Practices not offering Invisalign should evaluate whether iTero is the right scanner choice.
