Design and manufacture orthodontic appliances digitally
3Shape now brings the market a unique and long-awaited CAD software solution for orthodontics that allows labs to provide complete orthodontic services.

“The new Appliance Designer™ is the first CAD program that digitally creates all types of orthodontic appliances, says Henrik Vestermark, Vice-President of Business Development for North America. “Appliance designs are made ready for manufacturing using 3D-driven machines and materials. Labs can now provide highly competitive night-guards, retainers, customized bands, splits, and more, by taking advantage of our CAD/CAM technologies.”

TRIOS® impression-taking — strengthens professional lab-dentist relationships

3Shape will also be showcasing its TRIOS® digital-impression solution, including a wide range of new features. TRIOS® enables dentists to rapidly capture the complete intraoral situation and send the 3D model directly to the lab. Unlike many other scanners, 3Shape’s TRIOS does not require pre-spraying of the teeth. The system clinically validates the impression and includes flexible tools allowing dentists to edit their scans, and even ‘delete-a nd-rescan’ specific areas where needed.
