3D Oral Scan

3D Oral Scan: What is It and How Does It Work?

A 3D oral scan is a fast, comfortable way to record the exact shape of your teeth, gums and bite in three dimensions, without the putty trays used for traditional impressions. A small handheld scanner is passed over the teeth and builds an accurate digital model on screen in real time.

What is a 3D Oral Scan?

It is a digital impression. Instead of biting into impression material, your teeth are captured with a scanner as a precise 3D model. That model becomes part of your record and feeds directly into planning your treatment, and into making appliances such as clear aligners and retainers. Because it is a surface scan, it uses no x-rays.

3D Oral Scan Advantages

  • More comfortable than conventional impressions, with no trays or putty

  • Fast and accurate, with the model checked on screen as we scan

  • Fully digital, so records can be stored, compared over time and shared with the lab or our planning software

What Is a 3D Oral Scan Used For?

  • Planning orthodontic treatment and monitoring progress over time

  • Making clear aligners, retainers and other appliances

  • Combining with the 3D face scan and 3D X-ray records to build a complete picture

  • Showing you your own teeth and bite clearly when we discuss your options
