Align Technology Launches Next-Generation Iterotm Lumina Imaging System In The Middle East
(MENAFN- Mid-East Info)
The iTero Lumina family represents the next generation of intraoral scanning technology, designed to set a new standard in speed, accuracy, and visualization for a broad spectrum of clinical applications – from orthodontics and restorative dentistry to comprehensive multi-disciplinary workflows. Setting a New Standard in Digital Dentistry Building on more than 20 years of expertise in restorative dentistry, the new iTero Lumina solutions integrate Align's proprietary iTero Multi-Direct CaptureTM technology. They provide a three times larger field of view1, a maximum capture distance of 25mm[6] and a 50% smaller and lighter wand4, making it easier to scan challenging areas such as dentures, palates, and edentulous spaces. The scanners are designed to be twice as fast2, reducing chair time while enhancing patient comfort, while also delivering photorealistic 3D models that remove the need for bulky digital cameras and cheek retractors. The systems deliver superior full jaw clinical accuracy compared to tested intraoral scanners3, helping doctors achieve predictable first-time restoration fit[7] with greater efficiency. The iTero Lumina Pro system further incorporates Near Infra-Red Imaging (NIRI) technology, supporting diagnostic assessment of interproximal caries above the gingiva and enhancing overall oral health evaluation. Designed for Regional Practice Needs With streamlined workflows that allow dentists to capture multiple preparations in a single scan, the iTero Lumina solutions reduce maintenance time and footprint while offering versatility in one device. The scanners provide an effortless scanning experience with improved ergonomics and comfort, enabling dentists to work more efficiently while focusing on patient care. They deliver photorealistic 3D models and high-definition intraoral imaging, along with NIRI technology to support caries detection. The scans can also eliminate the need for separate intraoral photos in Invisalign® case submissions and meet accuracy thresholds comparable to photogrammetry for full-arch implant restorations[8] . The smaller, lighter wand4 further enhances patient comfort, particularly for children and teens. “Across the Middle East, we're seeing dentistry move quickly into a new era – one where digital tools are not just nice to have, but central to how care is delivered,” said Angelo Maura, General Manager of Align Technology, Middle East & Africa .“The iTero Lumina Pro reflects that shift. It's designed to help doctors focus less on the process and more on the patient, giving them confidence in their decisions, time back in their day, and a way to make care feel simpler and more human.” Enhancing Patient and Doctor Experiences The new iTero Lumina scanners offer a fast and comfortable scanning experience, helping increase patient engagement with advanced 2D and 3D visualizations via the AlignTM Oral Health Suite. For practitioners, the simplified workflows allow for more efficient case planning and lab collaboration, supporting long-term growth and improved clinical outcomes. Regional Availability The iTero LuminaTM intraoral scanner and its latest version the iTero LuminaTM Pro dental imaging system are now commercially available to dental professionals in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.
