Technology Dr. Schumer uses
The iTero digital scanner.
Dr. Schumer uses the iTero digital scanner to create a precise 3D map of your teeth — no goopy impressions required. The scan takes minutes, is comfortable, and gives Dr. Schumer the data he needs to plan your treatment accurately.
From there, Dr. Schumer designs your aligner sequence personally — no treatment coordinator, no rotating dentists. The scan stays on file so progress can be tracked precisely at each check-in.
