The versatile next-generation iTero Lumina scanner is a breakthrough for dental practices. It enables comprehensive diagnostics, effective prosthetic treatment, and integration of orthodontic and prosthetic care — including through Near Infrared Imaging (NIRI) technology in the iTero Lumina Pro.

• Powered by iTero Multi-Direct Capture™ technology with a three-times wider field of view¹ and a maximum capture distance of 25 mm², it is designed to scan twice as fast² and simplify capturing challenging areas for prostheses, palates, edentulous regions, and other complex cases.
• With superior clinical accuracy in both upper and lower arches compared to tested intraoral scanners³, iTero Lumina™ enables predictable and reproducible fitting of prosthetic restorations.
• iTero Lumina™ scans achieve photogrammetry-level accuracy⁵ (the highest standard in prosthetic restoration planning) for full-arch implant restorations⁴ — all within a single scan.
• Patients benefit from a faster, more comfortable scanning experience, supporting the highest standard of dental care.

Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN) has introduced new prosthetic-supporting software features for the iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner (without iTero Near Infra-Red Imaging (NIRI) technology) and the latest iTero Lumina™ Pro dental imaging system (equipped with iTero NIRI). These new features enable efficient management of prosthetic workflows as well as interdisciplinary treatment combining orthodontics and restorative dentistry. Additionally, they support caries detection above the gumline.

The iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner offers faster scanning², greater precision³, and increased scanning comfort⁵. The new capabilities of iTero Lumina™ deliver outstanding scan quality and performance — for both the simplest and most demanding prosthetic cases. Enhanced functionality supports a simplified prosthetic workflow, enabling registration from single crowns to full arches with multiple preparations in a single pass of the scanning tip.
