No moulds, no gagging, 90 seconds and a pretty picture.

If you remember gooey putty and trying not to gag, good news: those days are over.

The wand

Our scanner is about the size of a toothbrush. It takes thousands of pictures a second and stitches them into a 3D model you can watch build on screen.

What we use it for

  1. Invisalign plans and previews

  2. Crowns and veneers made in our own lab

  3. Tracking wear and gum changes over time

It takes about 90 seconds a jaw and you can keep the file.
