3D Imaging and Digital Dentistry

Three-dimensional imaging stands as a pivotal tool for orthodontists in the assessment and documentation of craniofacial structures' size and morphology. This advanced diagnostic imaging technique involves the compilation of anatomical data through specialized equipment, which is then processed by a computer and subsequently displayed on a 2D screen to create the illusion of depth. Digital dentistry refers to the application of dental technologies and devices to perform dental procedures, replacing traditional mechanical or electrical instruments.
