What is it indicated for?

iTero software is used with the iTero scanner in capturing 3D digital impressions of teeth, oral soft tissue and structures, and bite relationship. iTero software controls the processing of the data, facilitating the integration of data, and exporting of the data for CAD/CAM fabrication of dental restorations, orthodontic devices, abutments, and accessories. In addition to scan data, various patient and case information can be imported/exported or used for simulation purposes. Other functions are available for verification and service of the system and to serve as an order management tool.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
