People with crooked and misaligned teeth often fix their teeth concerns by acquiring various dental treatment methods. Invisalign treatment is the most advanced method in dentistry to fix crowded teeth with the benefit of being able to remove the aligners when required. The clear aligners make it more comfortable and easy for people to undergo teeth fixation without discomfort and stay unnoticed, unlike the traditional braces with wires and bands.

The advanced oral treatment of Invisalign has combined with the technology to provide patients with a more accurate and comfortable dental experience by using the 3D scanning process. Here, we will discuss the role and the benefits of 3D scanning in the Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign Treatments With 3D Scanning

Now you can obtain a digital experience in dentistry with the 3D scanning technology used for the Invisalign treatment. The development has opened the door for discreet orthodontic solutions for people with crooked teeth.

The traditional method of obtaining the alginate impression was least enjoyable and had possibilities to relinquish the exact measurements where moulds were taken to mimic the teeth structure. With the 3D scanning process, the initial process has now shortened with more accuracy and speedy results.

The 3D Scanning Process

With the help of a 3D scanner, digital impressions can be taken while recording every detail of your teeth and soft tissue structures like your gums. The technology can render an instant, precise 3D model of the teeth eliminating the messy traditional tray impressions.

Before initiating the process, patients are required to sit back and relax to get their teeth scanned. The orthodontist will use a specially designed, intra-oral scanning wand to generate the 3D images. This incredibly quick process allows the patients to breathe and swallow or even to pause if required without any consequences.

The scan is quickly completed only one time given to its high accuracy, unlike the traditional method where fitting problems in the braces can occur with handmade moulds at the laboratory. In 3D scanning, once your digital impressions are taken, your orthodontist will evaluate the scan to check for any variables that might be involved, such as;

• Tooth extractions
• Misalignment of teeth
• Jaw alignment
• palate expansion
• Bite issues (under biter, crossbite, or overbite)
• Midline management

All these irregularities will be thoroughly checked to ensure the treatment is predictable, efficient, and evidence-based. The process will benefit the individuals to improve their oral structure and functions by straightening the teeth and fixing bite problems.

Benefits Of The Digital Treatment

This in-house process is equipped with numerous benefits in terms of accuracy, comfort, and speed. Every detail of your teeth will be recorded in this device with the use of radiation-free, infrared laser technology to record your unique dentition.

The scan approximately taken 15-20 minutes, and once completed your digital impression will be displayed on the screen in real-time and color. You will be able to see the expected makeover in your smile even before the treatment begins. Other benefits of 3D scanning include:
