How 3D Scanning Works for Clear Aligners

1. Digital Impressions: Instead of the traditional gooey impression materials, we use a small, handheld scanner to capture high-definition images of your teeth. This process is fast, non-invasive, and comfortable. The scanner records thousands of data points, creating a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth.
2. Customized Treatment Plan: Once we have your digital impressions, we use state-of-the-art software to design your treatment plan. The software allows us to map out each step of the movement your teeth will make, giving you a visual preview of your smile at the end of treatment.
3. Precise, Custom-Fit Aligners: With your 3D digital model, we create clear aligners near you that are perfectly tailored to your teeth. These aligners are designed to apply precise pressure on specific teeth, gently moving them into their desired positions.
4. Ongoing Monitoring: Throughout your treatment, we can use the same scanning technology to track your progress and ensure that your aligners are working effectively. Adjustments to your treatment plan can be made if necessary, allowing for a more dynamic and responsive treatment process.
