How We Use 3D Printing for Customized Orthodontic Solutions in Centennial, CO
At Movement Orthodontics, it is important to us that we use the best cutting-edge technology to provide precise and successful treatments to our patients in Centennial, CO. We achieve this by utilizing 3D printing, a revolutionary tool that allows us to provide customized orthodontic solutions to our patients.
Enhancing Your Orthodontic Care with 3D Printing
Incorporating a 3D printer into orthodontics revolutionizes how oral impressions are produced. Computer-aided design and three-dimensional (3D) printing have transformed the workflow for orthodontic applications. Our advanced digital scanning technology allows us to create more accurate, comfortable, and efficient 3D images of your teeth. This enables us to craft precise and custom orthodontic appliances for our patients, including 3D aligners.
How Does 3D Printing Work?
- Digital Impressions
Intraoral scanners use digital impressions to create a 3D model of the teeth and surrounding structures. As a result of this technology, traditional impression materials are no longer required, as advanced imaging allows for more precise results to be obtained. - 3D Modeling
Using specialized software, the digital scans are converted into 3D models. It is possible to manipulate and analyze digital impressions in great detail with this software. Additionally, 3D impressions are used to design custom orthodontic appliances tailored to each patient. - Custom 3D Printing
As soon as the design is finalized, the digital files are sent to a 3D printer. At Movement Orthodontics, we utilize advanced 3D printing technologies to construct the appliances layer by layer using biocompatible materials. Precision and efficiency are the hallmarks of the printing process, which produces high-quality orthodontic devices in a timely and efficient manner.
