- Based on 10,000 scans, mean transfer time, defined as the time between the practice sending the iTero scan and the dental laboratory receiving it, is 4.6min. May vary based on internet connection. Data on file at Align Technology, as of February 12, 2020.
- Patient scans can be completed in as little as 60 seconds with the same accuracy and reliability that you have come to expect from iTero element scanners. Actual scan times depend on individual experience. This is based on 40 iRecord scanning sessions with average scan time of 58 seconds by 2 experienced persons scanning.
