3D printing is slowly beginning to disrupt the Dental business, keep in mind obtaining clay stuffed into your mouth therefore a model will be created for braces? well, that's currently history cause now a simple scan of your mouth is all that's needed. The scanner creates a digital drawing of your teeth and this info gets sent to a 3D printer that prints out the model, no a lot of messing around with Plaster Of Paris (POP). Another huge profit that dentists have is that the storage of those clay models, all models of current patients need to behold on for any reference however currently only the digital file has to saved on your pc and you'll be able to save plenty of space !!.
