In the evolving world of orthodontics, the shift from traditional methods to advanced digital workflows has redefined how treatments begin – starting with the very first step: impressions. Gone are the days of uncomfortable trays filled with gooey material.
Digital impressions have taken center stage, offering a faster, more accurate, and far more pleasant experience for both patients and practitioners.
Digital impressions use advanced intraoral scanners to capture a precise 3D image of a patient’s teeth and bite. This technology eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional methods, reducing gag reflex issues and the need for retakes.
But it’s not just about comfort. The accuracy of digital scans ensures that orthodontists have a crystal-clear foundation on which to plan and execute treatment. With fewer errors and adjustments required, treatment timelines can be more predictable and efficient.
For orthodontic practices, digital submissions streamline workflows significantly. The scanned files can be instantly uploaded and shared with clear aligner labs like ODONTO, dramatically reducing the time between consultation and treatment initiation.
This real-time connectivity means fewer delays, better communication, and quicker feedback – which translates into better service and outcomes for the patient.
Moreover, digital impressions are environmentally friendly. They remove the need for physical storage space, shipping materials, and impression waste. Everything is stored securely in the cloud, making case tracking and progress reviews seamless and accessible anytime.
The future of orthodontics is driven by precision, speed, and convenience. Digital impressions tick all these boxes. For aligner providers like ODONTO, digital workflows empower clinicians with the tools they need to deliver predictable, high-quality results. For patients, it means a smoother experience from the very first appointment.
As more practices transition to this technology, digital impressions are not just an upgrade – they’re becoming the new standard in orthodontic care.
