3Shape has released a digital scanner that bundles the company's Trios system with its Ortho Analyzer software.
3Shape Trios Ortho provides intraoral scanning, clinical scan-validation, and seamless communication with the orthodontic lab, according to a company press release. The software gives orthodontists tools for creating digital study models from the impression followed by advanced tools for treatment planning and case analysis. Integrated communication tools allow orthodontists to discuss cases and treatment plans in 3D with the lab.
The scanned full-bite situation can be uploaded directly into the Ortho Analyzer software running on a server PC that is included with the Trios Ortho solution. The virtual model can then be optimized for digital appliance design in labs that use 3Shape Appliance Designer software and digital manufacturing machines.
