    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Digital Health

    Background:

    • The field of orthodontics is rapidly integrating virtual technology, transitioning from hard-copy records to electronic data for a 'digital' patient.
    • This shift supports enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of treatment progress and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize currently available benchtop and intraoral scanners for creating 3D digital models of dental arches.
    • To highlight the potential of these digital models to replace traditional plaster models in orthodontics.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of currently available benchtop model scanners.
    • Review of currently available intraoral scanners.

    Main Results:

    • Three-dimensional digital models offer an alternative to traditional plaster models, overcoming limitations in treatment planning, appliance construction, and outcome simulation.
    • The technology for digital scanning is becoming increasingly accessible and sophisticated.

    Conclusions:

    • Digital 3D models and associated scanning technologies are poised to become standard tools in orthodontic practices.
    • The adoption of virtual technology in orthodontics is expected to accelerate significantly over the next decade.
