What is an intraoral scanner?

An intraoral scanner is a small handheld camera that takes thousands of pictures per second to create a lifelike 3D model of your mouth. The process is quick, clean, and radiation-free (it uses light, not X-rays). Your scan appears on our screen instantly so we can review your bite together and plan treatment with confidence.
