Designed with iTero Multi-Direct Capture technology that replaces the confocal imaging technology in earlier models, the iTero Lumina scanner:

  • Has a wider field of capture and multi-angled scanning that enables simultaneous capture from multiple angles, making it possible to capture more dentition in a single uninterrupted movement, and deliver smoother, faster, and more accurate scans

  • Has a larger capture distance of up to 25 mm, making it easier to scan complex oral regions such as narrow or deep palates, edentulous spaces, and partially erupted teeth with minimal manoeuvring

  • Quickly, easily, and accurately captures more data and greater detail while delivering exceptional scan quality and photorealistic 3D models that remove the need for the bulky digital cameras and cheek retractors required for traditional intraoral photos

  • Provides an effortless scanning experience that sets a new level of ergonomics and comfort, and helps remove adoption and utilisation barriers

  • Delivers a better patient experience with a significantly smaller and lighter wand, which is especially beneficial for child and teen patients.
