Can oral scanning sweep metal braces?

Before formally introducing oral scanning, let's briefly talk about the main steps of invisible correction. If you want to wear braces, you will probably go through the following three steps:

(1) First visit

(2) Design scheme

(3) Wear a strap

Ps: Of course, the above is a simple summary. Different people will have different processes.

Among them, when the doctor wants to help you design a specific corrective plan, it will involve an important operation-taking the mold.

Taking the mold is to record your oral data by biting silicone rubber and taking photos in your mouth, making a model, and then the doctor designs a correction plan according to your model, panoramic photos and lateral photos.

In fact, oral scanning simplifies the process of data acquisition, which is easy and simple without waiting for a long time.

Due to the requirement of accuracy, you may feel uncomfortable during the process of taking the mold and shooting.

To put it simply: the process of taking the mold is a bit cumbersome, and you have to endure discomfort during the process, and you have to wait long enough to see your own dental model and plan.

After oral scanning, your dental data will be automatically uploaded to the cloud, and the doctor can help you design a plan according to your model. )

To put it simply: oral scanning greatly improves our experience and efficiency before wearing braces, makes it easier for us to see what it looks like after correction, and also allows people to decide whether to correct it more effectively.
