Digital Orthodontics Cheltenham: How iTero and AI Make Braces Smarter

Can a scanner and AI really make braces and Invisalign® more comfortable and precise? At NUYU Dental & Aesthetics in Cheltenham, the answer is YES. 

iTero 3D scanning, AI-assisted planning, and experienced clinicians come together to plan your care with accuracy. You enjoy more clarity from day one, more comfort at every visit, and a calm, concierge-style experience. You can even preview “how your smile could look before treatment begins”.

What Digital Orthodontics Means at NUYU

Digital orthodontics blends advanced imaging with thoughtful, clinician-led planning. It is designed for precision and comfort, so you feel informed and in control at every stage.

Your visit usually begins with:

  • A relaxing lounge welcome and simple digital check-in

  • Clinical photographs to record your smile

  • An ultra-fast iTero 3D scan of your teeth and bite

The iTero scan creates a highly detailed digital model of your mouth. It replaces traditional impressions with a clean, comfortable scan. Your model appears on screen straight away.

Together we can explore tooth shape, spacing, and bite relationships from every angle. This helps you understand your options with confidence.

How iTero and AI Work Together

  • Precision mapping. AI-supported software reads your 3D scan to highlight bite contacts, crowding, rotations, and relationships that inform predictable planning.

  • Clinically led planning. Your clinician uses these insights to design a bespoke plan for braces or Invisalign®. Your lifestyle, goals, and timeline guide every decision.

  • Digital smile previews. You can see how your smile may look after treatment. These previews guide an open conversation about what is realistic for you.

  • Streamlined collaboration. Secure digital files move to Invisalign® or our partner labs with clarity. Fewer manual steps can support quicker turnaround times.

These digital foundations mean your care is planned with care and delivered with precision.

Why This Feels Different for Patients

  • More comfort. iTero scanning replaces conventional impressions. You simply relax while a gentle wand captures crisp images.

  • More clarity. You see what we see. High resolution 3D visuals make choices easier to understand.

  • More confidence. Simulations, clear timelines, and visual progress checks help you stay involved and motivated.

  • More efficiency. A fully digital workflow can smooth the path from planning to fitting.

You can expect modern technology, clear explanations, and a calm environment at every step.

Your NUYU Digital Orthodontic Experience, Step By Step

1) Welcome and Assessment
Settle in with our concierge team. After a friendly health discussion and digital check-in, we take clinical photographs and complete your iTero 3D scan. It is quick and non-invasive, using light-based imaging for comfort.

2) Data-led Diagnosis
We review your scans and photographs alongside your goals. AI-supported analysis helps us spot what matters for accuracy, from bite contact patterns to spacing and root positioning trends. You will hear everything described in clear, simple language.

3) Personalised Plan and Preview
You receive a tailored plan. This may include Invisalign® aligners, fixed braces, or a phased pathway with pre-orthodontic hygiene support. We share visual simulations, expected timeframes, appointment cadence, and retention options so you know exactly what to expect.

4) Treatment Begins
Your aligners or braces are made from your digital model. Because your planning is digital from the start, communication with labs is clear and fittings typically feel smoother.

5) Digital Progress Monitoring
We use your initial scans and photographs as a precise baseline. This allows us to adjust at the right moments, supporting predictable results and steady progress.

6) Finishing Touches and Retention
When alignment is complete, we guide you through retainers and any finishing touches. Many patients choose bespoke whitening or subtle facial aesthetics to enhance their new smile. The aim is a confident result that lasts.
