The Power of Precision: Intraoral Scanners

The effectiveness of clear aligner treatment hinges on the accuracy of the initial impressions, which is why intraoral scanners have become an indispensable tool for modern orthodontic practices. Traditional impressions simply do not deliver the same level of precision.

Are intraoral scanners essential for clear aligner treatments?

A perfect fit is crucial for clear aligner treatments. Even the slightest inaccuracy in the initial impression can lead to discomfort, extended treatment times, or imperfect results. Intraoral scanners eliminate the guesswork by delivering precise, high-resolution digital models that ensure each aligner is tailored to the exact contours of the patient’s teeth. This level of precision translates into aligners that fit better, work faster, and provide predictable outcomes. Digital impressions are also immediately available for review, allowing for quicker adjustments and faster turnaround times.

Intraoral scanners also make the process more comfortable for patients. The quick scanning process is a far cry from the discomfort of traditional moulds, and the immediate feedback allows patients to see their digital impressions in real-time, boosting their confidence in the treatment – and as a result, the likelihood of compliance throughout the long treatment time. The digital impressions captured by intraoral scanners seamlessly integrate with Smilers’ advances Nemotec software, creating a smooth, fully digital workflow that enhances every step of the treatment process. Enhance your orthodontic offering with Smilers and intraoral scanning technology.

 

Seeing the Full Picture: CBCT Machines and Orthodontics

To truly see the full picture in orthodontics, advanced diagnostic tools like CBCT (Cone Bean Computed Tomography) machines are essential.

These powerful devices provide a 3D image that goes far beyond traditional X-rays, offering a detailed analysis of tooth roots and bone structure. With the accuracy of the CBCT, you can make better informed decision and ultimately achieve superior patient outcomes.

By combining CBCT diagnostics with Smilers’ Nemotec software, you can take treatment planning to a new level. Nemotec’s advanced capabilities include CBCT overlay and true root segmentation, meaning you can see both the movement of the teeth, and the true trajectory of the roots throughout the treatment.

This provides an unprecedented level of precision and ensures that every aspect of the treatment can be meticulously planned. By incorporating CBCT imaging into your workflow, you can create more predictable and effective treatment plans, minimising surprising, maximising satisfaction, and catering to even the most complex cases.

Don’t Get Left Behind: Inaction Costs

The landscape of dentistry is evolving rapidly; patients have come to expect more than just quality care—they want convenience, comfort, and cutting-edge technology.

Clear aligner technology, intraoral scanners, and CBCT all enhance your ability to provide efficient, effective, and precise treatment. Practices that rely solely on traditional methods risk being perceived as outdated, even if the quality of care remains high. This perception can lead to a decline in patient retention, as individuals seek out alternatives that promise faster, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing treatment options.

It’s not only about the patients. Clinicians also want to work with the latest technology, and being able to provide these advanced orthodontic facilities will help you to attract and retain the best candidates possible to your dental practice.
