3D dental scanning is rapidly becoming an integral part of advanced dental technologies. This high-precision procedure allows for the digital reconstruction of a patient’s teeth and jawbone anatomy, resulting in a detailed 3D model. At My Dent Clinic, this technology is used for precise treatment planning and selecting the most effective therapeutic approaches.

❓ When is 3D scanning used?
Unlike traditional impressions or panoramic X-rays, 3D scanning provides a distortion-free, three-dimensional image of the oral cavity. It’s especially beneficial for:

Dental restorations

Preparing for crowns and implants

Fabrication and adjustment of clear aligners

Why is this critical? Aligners rely on a snug fit to apply targeted pressure on teeth. If the model is even slightly inaccurate, the aligners may not work as intended, disrupting the treatment trajectory.

At My Dent, conventional impressions are replaced with an intraoral 3D scanner. It provides complete data on tooth position, tilt, and root orientation—information that is then sent directly to the lab for aligner production.

🌟 Benefits of 3D Diagnostics
✔ Comfort and convenience for the patient
Unlike impression materials placed in trays, 3D scanning is non-invasive and ideal for children or patients with a sensitive gag reflex.

✔ Superior digital model accuracy
Conventional molds are prone to distortion. With digital scanning, the dentist can instantly verify scan quality and rescan any unclear areas. This ensures each aligner is highly customized.

✔ Faster results
Mailing physical impressions and scanning them can take 2–3 business days. A digital scan can be sent to the lab within minutes, allowing production to begin immediately.

🎯 The more precise the scan, the more effective the treatment. 3D diagnostics combine comfort, speed, and accuracy—everything you want in modern dental care.
