Summary
Medit vs iTero is a workflow choice. Medit is generally attractive for buyers prioritizing open export and scanner value; iTero is most attractive for practices deeply aligned with Align Technology, Invisalign, restorative visualization, and NIRI-enabled configurations where available.
Compare Medit and iTero through the workflows your practice will actually use: export, lab transfer, Invisalign submission, restorative tools, software, support, and regional feature availability. Request written confirmation for quote-led terms.

How to decide
Choose Medit first if STL/PLY/OBJ export through Medit Link, lower-friction third-party workflow, and Medit software matter.
Choose iTero first if Align/Invisalign ecosystem fit and oral-health visualization are central.
Demo the exact export, lab, aligner, and restorative workflows before relying on headline scanner specs.
