How scans support aligner workflows: initial records, planning, progress scans, retainers, and a smooth team process from consult to delivery.
This article breaks down how scanning changes daily clinic operations compared to trays: what happens before the patient sits down, what changes during the appointment, where errors show up, and how lab handoff and remake loops differ.
Step-by-step scanning technique for restorative cases, margin capture checks, bite registration, refinements, and a clean lab-ready handoff.
A practical implant scanning walkthrough, from scan bodies and soft tissue capture to occlusion and lab communication, with steps that reduce remakes.
An intraoral scanner captures a 3D digital impression for restorative, implant, and ortho workflows. Buy one when you’ll use it weekly, your lab accepts digital files, and your team is ready to standardize technique and QC.
