What Is Digital Treatment Planning?
Digital treatment planning is a new way to plan your smile. We no longer need messy molds. We use pictures made by a small scanner. This scanner goes in your mouth. It does not hurt. It is quick and clean.
The scanner takes a 3D image of your teeth. Then, we use a computer to make a step-by-step plan. This plan shows how your teeth will move. You can watch a video of how your smile will change.
