From Diagnosis to Treatment - Digital Workflow Step by Step
Problems with the Classical Approach
Despite their undeniable effectiveness, traditional methods are becoming less suitable:
- Impressions are uncomfortable for the patient and troublesome for the doctor to store and transport
- Plaster models take up a lot of space, are fragile, and their reproduction requires additional time, and often also retaking the impression
- The time between taking an impression and preparing an appliance lengthens due to the need for transportation and working with plaster
Digital Orthodontics Brings Real Benefits
Introducing a scanner and collaborating with Ortolab means:
- Care for patient comfort – no impressions
- Increased durability and precision – digital models are more accurate than plaster ones
- Space and time savings – files are stored in the system and accessible with just a few clicks
- Faster workflow – a scan from the same day goes to technicians at Ortolab, where production begins
- One scan provides many possibilities – aligners (A-ligner), positioners, diagnostic models, IPA for indirect bonding, or surgical templates are created based on the same digital file
- Case archiving
