Can I See a Virtual Outcome of my Smile before Starting Treatment?

Yes, you can see a virtual outcome of your smile before beginning your treatment. At Smilo Family Dental, we use the iTero digital scanning system, which includes a specialized feature called the Invisalign outcome simulator.

This technology allows you to view a personalized, 3D virtual preview of your projected results. Here is how the process works:

  • Digital Impression: We use a small, handheld wand to capture thousands of images of your teeth in under a minute, creating a highly accurate 3D model without the need for messy, uncomfortable putty.
  • Side-by-Side Comparison: The simulator generates a side-by-side preview of your current smile and the projected result you could achieve after treatment.
  • Collaborative Planning: Because the images are digital, you can view them chairside with your dental team immediately. This allows you to ask questions and feel confident in your treatment plan.

While the simulation is a powerful planning tool to help set realistic expectations, it is important to note that it is a projected preview and not a guarantee of a specific final outcome, as every patient’s response to treatment is unique.
