An Overview of Digital Intraoral Scanners: Past, Present and Future- From an Orthodontic Perspective
Abstract
Digital intraoral scanners(IOSs) have become the ongoing trend in contemporary digital orthodontics. This article aims to elaborate the past, present, and future of IOSs from an orthodontist’s perspective. We summarized the comparison between digital and conventional impression in literatures. Also, we discussed about the imaging principles and characteristics of different IOSs. Although unable to recommend the single best option, a checklist of consideration when choosing an IOSs was developed after trailing the mainstream commercial products. With technology revolution, embracing the IOSs may be essential for those interested in future digital orthodontic workflow.
