Level up your workflows by getting more out of your iTero Lumina™ scanner.

Photogrammetry has long been considered the gold standard for complex, full-arch implant restorations. It’s renowned for its exceptional accuracy, but generally requires a significant additional investment alongside your existing intraoral scanner.

The scientific study from Dr. Mangano published in the Journal of Dentistry, demonstrated that the iTero Lumina™ scanner performs within the accuracy threshold of photogrammetry for full-arch restorations.¹ That means the precision once reserved for specialist equipment may already be within reach, with the scanner that already has the seat of honor in your practice.

For those who want to go deeper into the science behind full-arch implant scanning, Dr. Francesco Mangano explores the comparison between photogrammetry technologies and direct intraoral scanning in detail in his latest lecture. Watch it here: https://bit.ly/iTero_YouTube-IOS

¹ Based on bench testing conducted in January 2025 according to ISO 20896-2:2023 vs. ground truth: Imetric icam 4D Photogrammetry system; sample size: n=10; 5 upper arch model (All-on-6) and 5 lower arch model (All-on-4). Thresholds were defined as horizontal error

Get ready to connect to what’s possible with Align™ Innovations.

When patients don’t clearly understand their oral health and treatment outcomes, decisions can be delayed. When workflows feel disconnected, planning and delivery become complex. And when treatment applicability is limited, so is the range of cases you can take on.

That’s what’s changing this July.

Introducing a new wave of Align Innovations—bringing enhanced visualization, planning, and treatment support together in one connected experience.

So you can help patients see what you see, and treat with confidence.

Visualization helps patients commit to their future smile.

Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro brings a patient's potential future smile to life chairside, through in-face visualization, 3D model view, and the new Smile Video capability, which creates a more engaging, emotionally resonant consultation experience.

GP patients who received Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro accepted Invisalign® treatment at three times the rate of patients who did not receive it.¹

How has the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro helped to boost patient engagement in your practice? Share what works best in the comments.

¹ Based on a comparison of accepted ClinCheck® treatment plans from 9.6 million GP patients in cases where Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro™ was used vs. cases where it was not used. Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro™ visualizes potential Invisalign® treatment outcomes using 3D Model, In Face Visualization, and Smile Video.

The most valuable gain for a busy practice is time.

Running a high-volume, multi-location practice completing dozens of scans daily? That’s Dr. Jessica Itani’s reality.

After switching to the iTero Lumina™ scanner, her team’s productivity improved greatly, and by leveraging the scanner's auto-upload feature for Invisalign® case submissions, they eliminated the need for separate DSLR intraoral photography altogether.

Two changes drove this outcome:

-Faster scanning: The iTero Lumina™ scanner's 3× larger field of view¹ captures more surface area in every pass, helping to reduce scan time across a high daily volume.
-Fewer steps: Scan-derived images replaced DSLR intraoral photography for Invisalign® case submissions,² removing an average of two additional minutes per patient from the workflow.

¹ The iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner offers 3× larger field of view designed for more surface area capture enabling faster scanning. Compared to the field of view of the iTero Element™ 5D imaging system, when the iTero Lumina™ scanning distance is 12 mm. Data on file at Align Technology, as of November 15, 2023.
² The iTero Lumina™ scanner eliminates the need for intraoral photos for Invisalign® case submission only.

Accurate margins start with the right technique.

From occlusal to lingual to buccal, scanning a single unit crown with the iTero Lumina™ scanner is designed to be fluid and intuitive. The rocking, circular motion around the prep tooth ensures the margin and contact areas are captured from every angle, in a single continuous pass.

That feeling when your clinic gets a serious scanner upgrade...and all the possibilities that come with it. At the heart of the iTero Lumina™ scanner is iTero Multi-Direct Capture™ (MDC) technology, engineered to raise the bar on what a scan can deliver:

✨Captures more: A 3× larger field of view¹ means more surface area in every pass, simplifying even the most challenging anatomy.
✨Captures faster: Scanning speed up to 2× faster² compared to the iTero Element™ 5D imaging system, helping to streamline workflows and reduce chair time.
✨Captures accurately: Superior full-jaw accuracy compared to all competitors tested,³ supporting confident, predictable results.

We love this video from Trites Orthodontics, who recently upgraded to the iTero Lumina scanner and says it best themselves – “no goop, no gag, just precision!”

If the iTero Lumina scanner is part of your daily workflow, we would love to hear how it is making a difference. Share your experience in the comments, or tag us in your next post.

What does end-to-end digital dentistry look like for a young patient with complex needs?

At Artist Dental Clinic in Taichung City, Taiwan, Dr. Yi Jyun Chen treated a young patient with multiple carious lesions. Dr. Chen delivered same-day 3D-printed resin crowns using the iTero™ Design Suite, going from preparation scan to crowns ready for cementation in under 20 minutes.

At the follow-up appointment, Dr. Chen used the iTero Lumina™ scanner to compare the patient's current condition against the initial scan, giving both the clinical team and the patient's parents a clear, visual confirmation of the treatment's success.

Precision during the scan means confidence at every stage that follows.

From a single-unit crown to a full-arch restoration, clinics recognize that the margin for error in dentistry is small. Precise digital impressions can mean restorations that fit the first time, fewer reappointments, and a better experience for both patient and clinician.

The iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner is built with this in mind. A single iTero Lumina scan is within accuracy thresholds of photogrammetry for full-arch implant restorations* – matching the established gold standard in a simple and efficient workflow. Because when the data is right from the start, everything that follows is stronger.
