Orthodontic 3D digital modeling can be a valuable tool used to simulate a patient’s mouth and formulate various treatment options. Having these images digitally available enables you to bring up a patients 3D model at a moments notice, regardless of time or place. This can enable specialists in other locations to view the 3D image to offer input or advise to better serve the patient. Orthodontic 3D digital modeling can eliminate working with plaster models, saving you storage space and minimizing error. Some vendors enable you to take a plaster mold, send it in to the company, and in return you receive a virtual model and lab appliance. When choosing a vendor, inquire about virtual storage time of impression as well at turn around time.
