3D Scan

Hi

I would love ke to get my teeth straightened I am considering Invisalign, I would need a 3D imaging so they can make the moulds.

This is a new Dentist that i am seeing,he says it's fine but I wanted to check in with the forum and ask has anyone else had a 3D scan.

Thanks for reading

I'm thinking it's ok but you could contact your device manufacturer for more insight. You haven't filled that in your bio so I can't direct you there. 

it's fine

It's still an xray, so it is safe. MRI are the only thing we need to take precautions.

I just had that done a few months ago. No problem. Not sure why anymore 

i like where they drill a hole in your tooth take picture of it then put it up on a 40 inch tv screen. Yikes

3D scanning

Normally the term 3D scan applies to an optical scan of an object by laser then producing a 3D image.

The scan data obtained can then be used for a 3D printer to produce a copy of the original object or modify it.

Surgeons now use 3D printed mock ups of things like hip joints.

You can also get a 3D image from a CT scan.

I don't know anything about the teeth scan, but if it's laser generated, it's not likely to affect your device.

Just make sure all concerned are aware of your device.

Good luck

Hi! Had a 3 D scan on 8 Oct for bone graft. Like the other members have mentioned, just mention your device. Had had ywo 3 D scans since PM implant and had no trouble at all.

Take care
