With an in-office scanner, a high definition 3D dental scan of your teeth and bite is acquired. These high resolution digital models of your teeth may be used for a variety of purposes including fabrication of clear aligners, retainers, and orthodontic appliances. A 3D scan may also aid in the diagnosis and development of the best treatment plan for addressing your unique dental needs. With this technology it is even possible to visualize the outcome of your orthodontic treatment before it begins.
