The digital impression allows you to avoid the use of impression pastes that are inserted into the mouth, often causing a sense of suffocation or vomiting. An intraoral scanner is used, as well as a 3D scanner that can detect, through the first acquisition of a large number of images and then the subsequent re-elaboration using dedicated software, the dental impressions. The instrument is similar to a large pen that takes many photos. You get a three-dimensional image of the dental arches that can be used to plan the treatment. It becomes much easier to see your teeth and understand the problems that need to be solved
The images can be sent to the dental technician via the web and can also be sent to the patient! They can be used for Smile design (see Smile design in Aesthetic Dentistry), to visualize orthodontic movements, to compare changes in the teeth over time. The studio uses the TRIOS scanner by 3shape, the most performing currently on the market.
