- Another technological advance that’s emerged within the past couple of years is the Intraoral Scanner. The Intraoral Scanner is basically a wand that has a video camera attached to it.
- The device enables us to obtain a video of a patient’s teeth and create digital models of their entire mouth. This is particularly helpful because nobody enjoys using the impression material instead.
- Instead, we get that “impression” image digitally. We then send those digital models to companies like Invisalign without having to use the molds.
- We submit the resulting images to Invisalign in a seamless process instead of the previous long ,drawn-out process.
