$200-400
Practices were still taking physical impressions for oral appliance fabrication — messy, inaccurate, and requiring the patient to be present in office. Remakes cost $200-400 each and delayed treatment by 2-3 weeks.
Eliminating Physical Impressions with 3D Digital Scan Integration
Replacing messy, inaccurate physical impressions with a built-in 3D STL viewer — reducing appliance remakes by 85% and cutting impression-to-lab time from 5 days to same-day delivery.
Build Your Digital Scanning PlatformAbout the Project
A digital scan integration platform that embeds a full 3D STL viewer into patient case records, so practices can upload, review, annotate, and transmit scans without leaving the application. It removes physical impressions, cuts appliance remakes, and turns scan-to-lab into one digital pipeline.
Industry

The Problem: Messy Impressions, Costly Remakes
Physical impressions were costing time, money, and patients.
$3K/month
A practice in Texas was spending $3K+ per month on remakes alone. Doctors had no way to review scan quality before sending to the lab, and the workflow was manual and error-prone.
Fully Digital
The goal was to build a fully digital scan workflow — from capture to review to approval to lab transmission — all within the patient case record, eliminating physical impressions entirely.
