The intraoral scanner used at Success Smiles Orthodontics can create a 3-D rendering of the teeth that is so accurate that a lab can manufacture the piece directly from the scanned images. A small wand is run over the surface of the teeth and gums. As they hover over every surface of the inside of your mouth, a digital image is created on screen almost immediately. This is much easier for most people to handle than the materials used for conventional impressions. This process saves time and can be done much more quickly than physical impressions. The orthodontist at Success Smiles Orthodontics can even digitally remove a patient’s brackets on their teeth to create a fitting dental appliance. Average time for manufacturing an orthodontic appliance from traditional physical impressions is about two weeks or even longer. With an intraoral scanner, the digital images are sent to a 3-D printer the same day, resulting in a few days turn around. At Success Smiles Orthodontics a 3-D printer is available and used. Sending the digital impressions to the printer minimizes the risk of the dental appliance being lost or damaged in transit and having to be re-done. An accurate fit is critical. When an appliance does not fit correctly, the patient needs to be seen again for a new impression of the teeth. With the iMedit 3-D intraoral scanner and printer the appliance that is created is a perfect fit.
